Let anyone with any points buy a ticket.....Why do you want empty seats?
I’m not sure what you mean by safety of fans, when was the last time there was a problem in the ground? From memory I would say 1980No Barry, I want to take my youngest who has 300 points. Why do you assume that I want empty seats when I have provided a number of possible actions the club may follow to ensure that there aren't any, whilst ensuring safety of fans ?
The 500 point thing is to stop away fans getting tickets and causing the problems which would damage the PL 'brand'. You know, the same brand thatsjust written us a cheque for c£200m...
If that means a few bandwagon fans miss out, then I'm prepared to put up with that and it seems like the club are comfortable with that trade off too.
I feel sympathy with genuine fans who wish to buy tickets and struggle, though the club has a responsibility to prevent trouble by selling tickets to anyone.
When as there been any trouble?This!
To all intents and purposes he can't.
Maybe if the Blade had bothered going before this season he wouldn't have a problem?
Could always carry on going to Meadowhall with the Mrs like he has for the last couple of years. You could meet for coffee......
ExactlyIf there are tickets and Blades (old, new otherwise) who want to buy them - make them available. A policy contra to that is bullshittery

Why didn’t Leeds, Forest, Pigs etc buy tickets for home end last year, there were no restrictions then?
There is trouble at many games for example:
Arrests after Aston Villa fans brawl during Sheffield United defeat
Four people were arrested after a brawl broke out among Aston Villa fans as the side slumped to defeat in Sheffield.www.expressandstar.com
On Saturday a Palace fan was thrown out of the ground and I'm glad he wasn't sat near me or my children.
Fortunately it is infrequent but it happens! You are not suggesting there is never the potential for trouble and the club has no duty of care to protect its fans through segregation?
And as I’ve just mentioned you can buy a ticket after landing from Mars for Chelsea and last time I looked they were in the Premier League???
I for one hope your account gets wiped of the system and you have to start again with 0 points.
Oh wait you couldn’t because you can’t buy a ticket.
At least it would keep absolute morons like yourself going to matches.
All blades are welcome at the lane even if it’s there first game no matter how young or old
Hopefully they’d replace miserable gits like you
The Palace fan was thrown out for invading the playing area and attempting to assault Baldock.
He was in the BLUT.
Your point has absolutely nothing to do with segregation and ticket sales.
Yes it does! I was asked when has there been trouble at the ground (as Barry appears to think there isn't any and so no need for segregation of fans) and so I gave two minor examples to show that segregation of fans is still necessary. I am quite aware of what happened with the Palace fan as I was close to the event - fortunately not too close! You are not suggesting that segregation and crowd trouble are not intrinsically linked? The club have stated one reason for the 500 point limit is to prevent away fans from gaining access to home areas and thus prevent crowd trouble. It's not my argument its the club's. Do I like it? No! as it is preventing me from taking my youngest and seems to be excluding new and casual fans from buying tickets. However I do acknowledge that the club has a duty of care to keep fans safe through sensible segregation and ticket restrictions. What would your solution be?
Oh yes it does! There have been no issues with Blades owing to sensible segregation and ticket allocation. It's not me that is making a mountain out of less than a molehill it is the club's argument. I like your solution to the problem and I wish that you were making policy. Has the 500 points requirement been removed? Can't see anything on the official site. This would indeed be good news and if correct it would be a moot point!

Liverpool's membership is the same as ours as in the more games you go to the more likely chance you have of getting to a gameI looked on Liverpools ticket website at their home games.
You need a Liverpool membership, registered to a "L" postcode to get tickets when on general sale. Not perfect, but an option.
