A consequence might be that the spiteful won’t now use the exchange to ‘punish’ the club.
Leaving empty seats on the night, depriving others of attending.
I get that, no complaints from me.
Putting an accountant’s hat on, if 5k put theirs on the exchange and they all resold, in broad terms that’s unexpected additional income of £175k using the £35 resale price someone mentioned above. Less the minor compensation paid out.
We won’t be able to make the Marseille game, we didn’t know that when paying, but it wouldn’t have changed our decision to buy. Seeing two European games, a priceless first for the club/supporters, was well worth the price.
Anyway, it’s a sunk cost, so no complaints here.
Regarding the club...
