[Albion] Club selling your seat, is this right?

I hope it doesn’t happen to you, but please don’t accuse fellow fans of twisting the truth.
My point is that some people will use a small sample if it supports their argument.

I’ve just read your other reply concerning your illness and on the face of it the club’s action seems harsh, esp if it’s the only time you haven’t used your ST this season. Maybe you should have called and asked for Joel 😉

Interesting that plenty of people think listing their ticket on the Exchange is some sort of imposition. I list mine not out of fear of being sanctioned, or even a particular desire to ensure the club gain maximum revenue. I list it because it’s quite nice to get my money back on the seat (less £1).

It’s baffling. I’m not exactly stoney broke but I’m not turning down the chance to get a £30 refund (oldie’s rate) for less than a minute’s hard graft logging into my club account and ticking a box. Yet people complain about being encouraged to do so. Odd!
AS i have posted that is not the issue it's the lateness of being able to do it yet being asked to do a time limited survey. That is wrong.

I expect Joel or his colleague who wrote the rude email to me, will have got my cancellation survey by now, with the reasons as to why I’ve cancelled.
I hope some youngster will enjoy my place. Time to hand the baton on.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation. There are a few who think they’re better than others, but one day, they’ll have health issues and/or get old.
Thanks. This has happened at away games where I've driven 4 hours to get to.

He has missed 3 games this season and he gets an email, sorry that's crap.

If a ST holder has a serious issue to deal with whether it is 1 or 4 days before a game I should think often football is the last thing on there mind.

Can certainly understand the frustration, but unless you tell them it‘s just a datapoint they’re acting on. The club seem to be using a bit of a ‘blunt instrument’ approach but can’t cater for every eventuality when trying to shut down the pisstakers. Hopefully as they ‘learn’, accounts will be suitably marked so they don’t need to ask

They simply have no right to personal information. All they need to look at is history of the said person. His LOYALTY points alone are enough.

If they don’t have information, they have the right to bracket everyone together unfortunately. ST Points (they’re not called Loyalty any more) don’t take changing circumstances into account.

Surely if personal information held by the club is properly managed and helps prevent misunderstandings I can’t see a problem.
Loyalty points aren’t given for attending home matches.

Do you have piles?
Do you suffer from a soft cock?
Do you wet yourself?
Do you shit your pants?

Unless you tell me I will not respond to your posts

Or is it not any of my f***ing business?

Having a ST is!

Indeed, but you get ST points regardless of the number of matches you attend
As I have posted my son missed 3 matches. 2 of which his wife was on life support. Giving him a time limited survey to fill out to why he didn't attend is out of order. You wouldn't have it from a boss at work let alone your football club over your use of a seat for which he has paid for!

I think the suggestion is that if you inform the club of an illness or disability, then your account would get flagged requiring an extra layer of checking/manual intervention before the snotty email is sent

Why? You have paid for it.

Are you seriously saying you should disclose your illnesses or disability to the football team you support prior to attending, in your free time, a football match? Unless you may need assistance.

First let me say that I agree with everything you have posted.

I just have one question, when you say a time limited survey are you saying the club threatened some action would be taken if you didn't complete it?
