hard-to-get or sold out tickets to matches without illegally buying tickets from online vendors or touts.”

Hard to get or sold out tickets! This from the club who now advertise season and half season tickets on the radio and in the press, and are currently running adverts to encourage fans to bring there wives and girlfriends (Stop there ladies I have no problem with the fairer sex at games, just think advertising for them is desperate) Whats next a hard sell to nursing homes to encourage your Gran and Grandad to go? Small club Everton of course there not!
