Southampton tickets shambles
Although I can sympathise with the many regular Brentford supporters who are enraged at the manner in which the tickets for the Southampton cup tie were sold, I think that demands for heads to roll at Board level are an over-reaction. This time last year I recall Bolton fans making similar demands of their board following the fiasco over the sale of League Cup Final tickets at Cardiff.Today many of the same people who said they would never go to see the team again are celebrating their team's success in the Premiership, and I am sure the club's management will not repeat the mistakes if a similar situation were to arise.Remember the progress Brentford have achieved this season, contesting at least for a play-off place. Compare this with the sad state of affairs as relegation loomed towards the end of last season. In truth, few supporters would have expected Brentford to be still in the FA Cup at this stage. Once the anger subsides supporters need to compaign to ensure the Board take action to ensure that proper ticketing arrangements are in place for the major away games that hopefully will occur in the 1st division next year.Good luck on Saturday!
