If we're going by coldness levels I seem to remember not being able to feel my toes at Ludogorets!
It's tricky. I think we all want to see less credit hunting. The Spartak one is a clear way to tidy up the credits and confirm those who went. (Though should not impact too much those that genuinely could not go).
I reckon people are worrying about nothing really.
I think we sold about 800 tickets. Judging by those there - it was 300 UK based reds and 500 foreign I reckon - mainly all Russian. What we don't know is if they registered for membership and got a ticket (and a credit), or the club gave them away to supporters clubs?
Either way I think the majority of your 300 reds have previous credits. I think of your bandwagon jumpers, I seriously doubt we've got many who will all of a sudden decide to start going to all the European Aways especially if they're not UK fans. (I base that on it being a culture thing). If you're Russian it's just a one off event. For example my mate and his lad love Real Madrid and wanted to see them when they're over here regardless of who playing, but they'd never dream of following them away anywhere else.
Potentially what is 'fair' is this credit counting as more than 1.
United do similar:
Credits for European away games are issued to supporters as follows:
• 2 credits will be issued to supporters who apply for a game, are successful and collect their ticket with ID at the relevant game (or book and travel with Thomas Cook Sports)
• 1 credit will be issued to supporters who apply for the game, whether they are successful or not.
• Credits will not be issued to supporters who apply for the game, are successful but cancel their ticket, fail to collect their ticket or book through Thomas Cook Sports then do not travel
I don't know. No easy way to decide is there. I do think it's not as bad as people fear it is for bandwagon jumpers though.
