Brentford ST -NBTTT
Watford tried something similar a couple of seasons back. The problem is local fans of Big Clubs having enough disposable income that they can afford to buy a ST & only use it when their club is in town.
I personally know a London-living Man U fan who purchased 2 STs at the new Brentford ground just to watch his team.
It also reflects how capacity is such a coin-toss; the ground is 13% smaller than originally planned.
As for empty seats at NCFC; if the club's Buyback Scheme was fairer then many more ST holders would use it [ every Buyback sees a £14 loss for ST holder, while club gets this PLUS the re-sell amount ]
