Which is probably why they don't exist anymore, otherwise away fans would allowed to buy them in groups of 10 for parity.
Surely a 'ridiculously low' season ticket is incentive enough?
I never said I was against flexi tickets in any way, however no other clubs have the same thing was my point, and there is likely to be a reason why, it is blatantly charging away fans more for the same game compared to home fans if bought in a block of 10 for one game.

I agree that we shouldn't be charging away fans £20 but it's an economic necessity for now. It is not against the rules as walk on prices are the same.
Flexi tickets were treated as season tickets which is why they could be cheaper and as such could be restricted to home areas. Away fans couldn't buy them due to segregation rules. Proper Season tickets don't always suit people who can't make all the games for various reasons and as such would not be value for money.
I can't believe you are trying to compare it with the Premier League as there is a reason why they can restrict prices or rather there are tens of millions of reasons - TV money. Fans are an optional extra it seems in the Premier League.
Just because other club haven't done the same thing doesn't mean we can't. Perhaps it's because they don't have the lowest crowds in the league?
