I can't understand why money given to the club for tickets doesn't go straight to the away club. Seeing as they and every club do at it least 20 times a season, it must be automatic to send the cheque off at the close of each match.
I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick bigcol. The away teams don't get any money. i.e we don't get any money for the Alty fans who go to Oxford this Saturday, the home club gets it.
What has happened in this case (Wrexham v Chester 27/9/09 at Wrexham) is rather than Wrexham selling tickets to Chester fans and all the ensuing problems is that they've given Chester City 2,000 tickets and said, right sell those yourselves. When you're done send us a cheque for what you've sold and also send back any unsold tickets.
Chester haven't cos they're sh*thouses, clearly.
