Football

It is depressing to go to places like Bournemouth, as I did a couple
of years ago where the away allocation is little more than 1000 and
find five people sitting in a row in front of me who, it turns out are
from S Africa and this is their first game and they got the tickets
off an on line tout.

Its good to see people watching their first game though!
I think there should be a bigger allocation of tickets that are available to anyone, but I don't know how they'd stop these just being scalped.
I remember my first game, it was a hugely overpriced scalped ticket but was ace. I couldn't afford to take my boy though at the prices now!
It seems sensible to me that away tickets don't just get sold to anyone, that relatively tiny group of fans are surely more important in terms of support.
