Fraenkel: The pass was born to support the CC but why turn it during the clash in a must action, if you don't have any pass left and no credits in the fund, how can I help my club if it's must suppose to be a free game.
I believe this was the ultimate purpose of the pass from day 1.
The introduction of it as a means of "helping" your CC was merely a ruse to get us used to buying and using them.
As Shoe points out, "We are talking about months of time devoted to create this type of event", so well before the initial introduction of the CC pass.
