I know of many silver members that go to around 6 or 7 games a season. Most of them wait patiently for the Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool game to go on sale, log on the internet for 2 hours or so on the date of sale, then go to work. This is the extent of their interest in the club, apart for course for the mandatory Sky Sports and Premier plus. There are red members that try every time a game goes on sale to get tickets, but for Man U Liverpool and Chelsea the games sell out before they get a chance, unless of course they are willing to pay 2 x $66 = $132 + booking fees ie ?145 for 2 tickets to the 'STAN FLASHMAN' of all Box Offices ie the so called Arsenal Box office. Of course I was on holiday 10 years or so ago when the club decided on rationing for its supporters. Miss an arbitrary deadline 10 years ago and you are well and truly thrown on the scrapheap of football supporters. Even that ignores the fact that most fans have PAID for the privilage of being on Season Ticket and Silver members waiting lists. There are only two solutions: 1. Arsenal continue to be crap as the Board not only dump on Arsenals Fans, but dump Arsenal Legends like Pires Viera and co. or 2. COMBINE ALL SILVER AND RED MEMBERS INTO ONE POOL. With the internet existing silver members can still get games, but it will free up tickets for all fans, not just the select few.
