With respect..
We do need more bums on seats, that's the hypothesis of the thread - ie filling the ground more!
'Exiled' means fans who, for whatever reason, no longer live in the town, it doesn't make someone better or worse for moving away!!
There's plenty who have moved away and can be more than "arsed" to be every bit as much of a fan as anyone else!
On your final point, no one is asking for tickets to be handed out to all and sundry; just for them to be handed out fairly.
