Manchester United have banned a season ticket holder of more than 30 years from applying to watch away games after he fell ill and did not attend their clash at Hull City.

Graeme Clarke felt unwell on the morning of their last-gasp victory at the KCOM Stadium and was unable to make the trip for a late kick-off at Hull.

A letter sent to Clarke by the United ticket office, dated September 23, stated his opportunity to apply for fixtures away from Old Trafford had been revoked for 12 months after he failed to notify the club of his absence.

The lifelong United fan has been banned from applying for away matches for 12 months by the club after being unable to collect his ticket for the game at the KCOM Stadium due to illness

United communicated rules and regulations regarding away tickets with fans at the start of the season - and no ban would have taken hold had the booking been cancelled on the day.

But the nature of the case - that Clarke was not fit enough to travel - has caused fury among other supporters, who claim the episode has been 'disgraceful' and 'disgusting'.

In the letter, United's head of ticketing and membership operations Sam Kelleher wrote: 'Although we understand circumstances may occur where you are unable to attend a game you have purchased a ticket for, you are able to cancel your ticket and receive a refund via our contact centre.'

Clarke lodged an appeal but United stood by their original decision

Clarke's family argue another fan went to the game with his ticket but was refused entry, something in line with the club's ticketing policy.

The appeal to the ban was lodged on September 14 but the club upheld their original decision.

The letter continued: 'The club has worked extensively with the FA, Police and a number of local authorities to increase the allocation of match tickets we receive, and with thousands of unsuccessful applicants for each game, and we want to ensure each allocated ticket is used.'

Here's the letter.

 

[Zatara]

Here's the letter.

He paid for the season ticket, didnt attend a game at home and so was banned from attending away games for 12months?

Im a bit lost here...

 

[roydo]

Im a bit lost here...

He didnt collect or cancel an away ticket at Hull cos he was ill.

So is banned from aways for 12 months.

Seems a bit harsh.

 

[summerisle]

He bought a ticket for Hull away, but was ill so couldn't go. Apparently you have to inform Moneyballs United if you can't go so they can resell the ticket.

 

[Zatara]

He didnt collect or cancel an away ticket at Hull cos he was ill.

So is banned from aways for 12 months.

Seems a bit harsh.

Surely he can just pay them for the ticket?

 

[roydo]

Surely he can just pay them for the ticket?

He did. But didnt cancel it when he was ill the on day of the match. Gave it to someone instead.

 

[Zatara]

He did. But didnt cancel it when he was ill the on day of the match. Gave it to someone instead.

wow...so hes paid for a ticket, they didnt let the other chap use it and is now banned for 12months?

After he paid???!!!

 

[roydo]

wow...so hes paid for a ticket, they didnt let the other chap use it and is now banned for 12months?

Yep.

 

[Zatara]

Yep.

thats bizarre.

 

[roydo]

thats bizarre.

Seems to be an official stance they have with their away tickets.

Take away the fact that he has travelled with them for 30 years, but managing the demand for what are probably the most in demand away tickets in the world, they have to have a strict policy I guess.
