Beauseant 0 Posted August 23, 2011 We had a very interesting Supporters Groups meeting last night with David McNally, Chris Bailey (Head of Supporter Services ), Stefan Phillips, Delia and Michael.Although a lot of ground was covered, one thing that shocked most of us was the fact that the new requirement that Under 21 concessions validate their applications has thrown up over 200 people who have been defrauding the club (the best example being someone who had bought a ticket in the name of their cat), with some 80 odd still not coming forward with validation despite numerous reminders.What really gets my goat is that these people have effectively been cheating their fellow fans as well as the club, and you have to wonder how many years it has been going on.[:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,738 Posted August 23, 2011 It just goes to show that those who came on this messageboard boasting how they obtained entry to the ground on concession tickets they were not entitled to have reaped what they sow.Well done to the 200 who greatly inconvenienced thousands who had to prove their or thier relatives ages by taking documents to the ticket office.[:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alysha 0 Posted August 23, 2011 I can''t believe they didn''t implement the policy sooner, I was always surprised how each year I was never asked for ID, they just trusted the date of birth I had given them. My Grandad recieves a 65+ concession however, and he has never been asked to prove his age, I wonder why it was only the Under 21 concession tickets which has been clamped down on. My next season ticket will be as an Adult, so it will be interesting to see if their database is now correct, as it appears that whilst some supporters had been frauding the club, some people were offerred a concession ticket despite their claims that they shouln''t be recieving one.

SnakepitCanary 0 Posted August 23, 2011 I''m a fan that hasn''t come forward and got my season ticket yet, but I didn''t recieve any letters or reminders about it. Obviously I wondered where it was so I eventually found out. As I don''t make the venture to Norwich that often apart from football, I haven''t had the oppotunity to pick it up until tonight. I would of Sunday but I was at V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
