It just dawned on me, the other day in respect of my Season Ticket and Southend's wonderfool ticket offices decision not to re-issue cards every year, I've had mine since the introduction of this system.
Well anyway, last year there were 6,500 aprox season card holders, this year only 4,500. That means there are 2,000 voided cards out there (if not more). Now, what usually happens when the card doesn't let you through. In my experience the steward uses his own card to let you in.
Therefore, if say the home game against Leeds sells out, you could potentially have another 2000 people trying to get in.
Think the club needs to rethink the reuse of cards year after year.
