Of course its true
Those hospo seats and unused uefa seats they have sold you, are needed the next season for those allocations so cant be given as auto cup
Its effectivly selling the same seat twice. Its not harsh, its just maths
You qualify for it.... but its a ballot
Might be different for 1 season with the expansion being done but after that back to how it was before
But even then, we are going from the EL to the CL, so I'd guess they'll be a bigger appetite.
I don't know how far down the ladder the ballot for the EL went this season as my mate and I have all homes going back to before Hodgson if memory serves, but it's the age old argument.
Why should I be in a ballot with someone who "jumped" on getting EL games.
FWIW I think that's fair otherwise the European games end up like the league credits whereby it's the same people getting the same access and anyone who's not in my position is continuously scrambling for tickets.
