These people are clearly not the problem. Those that tout the tickets at inflated prices are. I go to plenty of away games and while you see a few familiar faces it is by no means the same core of 1-2000 fans. I will freely admit to occasionally sorting people out for tickets (at face value) and quite obviously I'm not the only one. The loyalty system, while an improvement on the old 'numbers' one, creates this. While you may not see these lads as 'good reds' in my experience they know the game and the songs and are just not in a position to get to as many matches as they'd like. I have some sympathy for your views on this if taken to extreme (witness the entire squad of a touring Canadian 'soccer' team in our end at OT this year) but in general they come across as insular, impractical and elitest.
To be able to go to as many matches as you want with your lad is a position of some priviledge and many would envy you, but to make these necessary criteria for supporters would be a death knell for the club commercially
