Football

But a lot of members, not season ticket holders, are part of the away ticket scheme (particularly those living in the north who cannot easily get to all home games but can waddle around the grim northern parts) and they had priority over most season ticket holders.

'most'. Find that hard to believe. The Chelsea fella in my local(one of about 30 who actually goes to the game) is a ST holder, never goes to away games and managed to get 4 FA cup tickets - himself, his lad and his Grandson n mate
We were only allowed 1 per ST holder
