"Using borrowed season tickets means that certain areas of the (North) stand have become overcrowded."

The above is a quote from the official SWFC website, citing the reason why they have felt the need to introduce photographic ID for all season ticket holders. 

To the explanation that using someone else's season ticket creates overcrowding I can only scratch my head and wonder "how?"

Surely if I buy a season ticket and then decide to lend it to someone else they will still only be using the same number of seats as would have been used had I actually attended the game.  On several occasions this season I have been unable to attend a match due to other commitments and I have passed my season ticket onto friends or family.  After all I have paid for the use of the seat for the entire season and not just when I'm able to attend.

I find it unacceptable that the club trots out this overcrowding b******s when what they mean is that a group of fans hell-bent on winding up the opposition fans has infested the corner of the North Stand near to the Leppings Lane end, and the club doesn't know how else to try and combat the problem.  It's much easier to hit ordinary fans like you and me than to get rid of the people causing the problems.  Once again (as with the OAC) the club shows how out of touch it is.  In attempting to deal with the problem-element that follow our team they are once again hitting the very people they should be trying to keep in the ground.  This will not rectify the problems we have and to use such lame excuses as overcrowding is ridiculous.
