The club sell hospitality to every game, and I’m pretty sure they sell tables to away fans.

I have, and know others, who have been in hospitality at Town games away.

The odd thing here is that the tickets are in the DRS.

A slightly different thing but I remember a Millwall fan sitting behind me in the DRS, he did say that he generally sits with home fans when Millwall play away if he could partly because of how some of their fans behave and partly how they get treated by the police & stewards. He was just there to watch the game and was no problem at all

I can’t believe the club want to sell tickets to a football match.
Should be taken to court under the trade descriptions act.

I read something yesterday on the EFL site about appropriate separation or stewarding of fans (and of course I can't find it today).
Hospitality has dedicated stewarding so would tick that box, random seats around the DRS is a different matter IMO and I don't know why the club would take the risk

Wasn't on the bingo card for today at least but nothing would surprise me from the last ten years. You could say that we'd been used to wash Wagner arms deal money and I wouldn't be shocked.

To (poorly) quote Price of Football's Kieran Maguire, if a business decision doesn't make sense, the answer is often 'money'.

Article mentions point deduction or a fine, it's probably more directed at Chelsea, but wouldn't be surprised to see either coming our way as well, no doubt we'll get the brunt of any punishment

If we make it out of the goings on of the last 8/9 years without a points deduction then it is actually a miracle.

Of course we will get done, it was an undeclared loan to benefit the club

Absolutely, you can absolutely see why we'd get punished for it, certainly not going to help us with the Standing Vs Power future punishment as well.if only we had the cushion of being in league one

Well, not quite. The loan was to Power, the individual, Power then, supposedly, put the money into the club. Might just as easily gone into his back pocket - it’s not going to be accounted for.

Wonder if those 3 Chelsea loan players has anything to do with it.
