The form has been used for years & has to be completed for everyone who wants a ticket for a particular away game. I may be wrong but my understanding is that the form is mainly for the benefit of the police so that they see who is travelling, when they are leaving/returning & where they are staying. That said there is no easy way to check that what people say on their form is correct so this would not be a fool proof way of checking that people actually go. This is a new issue as before the last campaign there would be little point in anyone buying tickets if they were not going to the game & I hope that a common sense approach can be found which will keep the majority of people happy
