    He got to his target so his wife bought his ST.

    BFC also gave her a free ST for some reason.

    Yeah I saw that. Wonder what exciting freebie the club has lined up for those who actually went and BOUGHT their season tickets?

    Fair play to him for his persistence and getting his ST, but I can see the gesture from BFC upsetting a lot of other fans who have also forked out £300+

    I'm sure some fans couldn't give a toss either.

    It does seem a little bit odd that he's basically gone on twitter and said 'my girlfriend won't let me have a season ticket unless you lot all do something while I do nothing' and then the club have rewarded him for everyone elses work by giving his girlfriend a free season ticket anyway while people like me and thee have to pay for them every year.

    BFC: Charging different prices depending on who you happen to work for and different prices (essentially two half price tickets) if you beg on twitter.

    I think it's a fantastic incentive to get an extra bum on a seat.

    Well done BFC!

    for once i agree with you !

    for all those moaning about how you bought one... well good luck to you , you paid and have a seat.. the fella came up with something fun, thats FUN something this board severely lacks when posts like this are made.

    who cares if BFC gave his Mrs a seat.

    To be honest, I don't care how much anyone else paid for their season ticket. I saw how much I could buy mine for and was happy to pay that amount, did so. If somebody through cheek, fortune or ingenuity can get theirs for less it makes no odds to me. Same goes for kid for a quid, mate for a fiver, tenner in offers, free kids tickets offered to schools etc.

    For the record, I'm not moaning.

    Doesn't really bother me either way, but I can see how it will sit with some fans.

    I was getting to the point of buying the ****ing thing for him myself it was getting that annoying..

    However, can't knock his efforts as ultimately they've paid off.

    So basically this guy gets rewarded for not having a backbone and only getting something if his wife says it's ok.

    I wouldn't say he's been rewarded, it means he's got a nagging wife with him at every game!!

    Great point; for some blokes football is the only break they get from the nagging so you've got to feel sorry for the poor fella.
