I've had quite a strong reaction to my latest blog with opinion divided on one aspect of it in particular.
Some of the criticism is definitely spot on because I think my wording could have been better.
I didn't intend to compare those who bunk in with corporate freeloaders from a safety perspective because I know such a comparison would be ridiculous.

What I mean is I genuinely believe that those who bunk in and use forged tickets have got no right to be in the ground. But I also think the same thing applies to people who show no love for a particular club but are willing to deprive genuine fans of a ticket just because they have the money and the corporate contacts to do so.
For me, the latter are one of the main causes of the former. If they stayed at home instead of hijacking the big occasion there would be more tickets for genuine fans to go around and there would therefore be less excuse for people bunking in.
I agree entirely that the two groups are nowhere near comparable on the safety front though.
