I',m not arguing with you over anything to be honest. My point is that

There may be a handful of Man U or Liverpool fans who have bought season tickets to get in once a season but I don't think that is the diver of the policy as is being sggested.

Its about maximising revenues and not setrilising seats that could be used by someone who might become a longer term part of the fanbase.

I think with us actually there is more of a point to that because our capacity has constrained our regular game attending fanbase at times. I don't think it has for Brentford because they don't have the same scale of fanbase (yet and possible never will).

I don't have an issue with it. I would though have an issue if Norwich did the same and made us re-sell seats through their buy back scheme because its not very good.
