    Touts cannot account for thousands surely, the lads on Avenell Road and Drayton Park who kindly offer to “buy or sell any spare tickets”. There is normally 5-10 of them, even if their numbers multiplied that is impressive business by them.

    I read earlier about a spike in club memberships originating from Germany. Now it was in a Guardian piece which at other times was a little silly so not sure how much faith to put in it.

    I read something from Arsenal that said tickets could not be purchased with memberships bought after the fixtures were announced?

    These are Germans though. The bigwigs at Köln's firm would've simply had a friendly word with their counterparts at Bayern and Dortmund etc.

    agreed. however, you can still see a block of 20 or so, rafter-photographing Chinese tourists sat together at every home game. Including Category A games. How the **** does that happen? Unless the club turn a blind eye to it.

    Though, even at Club Level, the club are happy for a different person to sit in the seat each match.
