Ah! interesting. Surely tho' if you are turning one down every summer then that is evidence enough - certainly that you don't have to go to the end of any queue?
Just having waited 7.5 years for my own and was told when I was eventually offered one that if I didn't take it then I'd have to start again.
fair enough that was three years ago now that I finally got a ticket with my own name on it and given so many tickets get passed from person to person - some I know don't actually know the person whose name is on the ticket they use. I was using a n other's for three years (although I do know the chap) before I got mine.
So based on my evidence - circumstantial or otherwise - I find it hard to think that there will be none wanting them. Maybe the club level target audience is different and given the relative cost of those tickets it's perhaps easier to imagine the club giving the harder sell.
Forgive me for questioning but from my point of view it seems that claiming 'there is no list' is wishful thinking on the part of those who love to have something to complain about. Apologies for that but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from.

I'm not clued up at all on the waiting list but the fact the club has boasted and told people exactly what position they are on the list and suddenly has refused to do so this year speaks volumes. From a personal point of view over half of the people we used to go with/meet before games have given up their STs in the past 2 or 3 years.

Am in a dilemma - if I knew for certain that wenker was gonna fcuk off either this summer or next summer then I might renew and try and rent them out but if it was announced that he will be extending his stay then it would be curtains for me I'm afraid

I think he'll go next summer - he knows there is an increasing number of discontented fans and the longer he stays the uglier it will get. Plus when I look at him and his demeanour he just doesn't seem like a man who loves his job like he used to.
Do you think you'd be able to rent out STs without problem for the season?

Don't know tbh - obviously I have to be careful who I rent them to cos I don't want somebody to act the *word censored* and have the club take my tickets away from me but at the same time there isn't a queue of people lining up to rent them either although I haven't decided what I am doing yet so haven't actually asked anybody. I might know a few lads over here willing to take a share in them so they would get some games and I would get the others but will wait and see

this, is an idiotic post
if we wanna go down that path...
I'd feel far more sorry for somebody who wastes their time writing/whining/whinging and moaning about games
that they have no intention of actually seeing

Stop moaning, just bend over and give the club your £1,200. The warchest will be unlocked any day now, promise.
The AKB's argument is always going to be that ''there is a waiting list'' as this falls into their AKB way of thinking... take it from me, it's not there anymore and that's why the numbers haven't been altered this season and another reason as to why they were offering season tickets to members that were at a higher number than my son!!
It's not good press for the club to say there's no list no more but to always give an illusion there is one!
