    Interesting facts about season tickets at smaller clubs.

    Man I am a Betico and never knew that Don Manuel could be called so many names in one sentence, good job Sid! :D

    As for the last part regarding scheduling, I am dumbfounded that the teams change their schedules on a weekly basis making a PDA necessary to keep track of when your team plays. The fans are the ones who get screwed but I also believe the teams can get away with it because Spanish society is not as forward looking (long and short range plans) as other cultures. Here in the US you pick the game you want to go see months in advance, make the necessary arrangement with your friends and off you go knowing that unless a major event takes place on that given date at that given time you will be watching your team play.

    Except for the playoffs where TV rules and you know the game times will depend on who is playing everything else is a done deal regarding scheduling.

    Since the teams already have the monies in the bank of their socios they could care less if the Sunday game is moved to Saturday evening at the last moment screwing up someones plans.

    Viva Er Beti Manque Lopera!
