This is a decent idea or extend it and have it on a rolling two years so it only ever counts back two seasons?jrgbfc wrote:Given that our away followings seem to be declining how about resetting everyone's points back to zero this summer, but any points earnt this season are kept?

Might even improve our away followings a bit, if people know they need to keep going to games to ensure they get tickets for the big games? That's how it works following England away, if you don't go to many games you start dropping down the points table and aren't guaranteed to get the tickets you want. How it should be IMO.

Got my ticket. Long time to hold breath!
I agree. As I spent many years travelling thousands of miles, one of a few on several/lots of occasions, I know how it feels when one week you are one of the few and the bext, not even in the pecking order. 10 points for awatmy attendance versus hundreds for a season ticket,with own seat, is not fair.jrgbfc wrote:Given that our away followings seem to be declining how about resetting everyone's points back to zero this summer, but any points earnt this season are kept?

How much was it from Skipton and times - if you don’t mind sharing. Just got tickets sorted out so need to sort some travel.Bosscat wrote:Got our Spurs Tickets and Train booked from Skipton (Burnley Supporters Club Coach from Colne fully booked).......

Its taken my Brother 9 years to get over 4000 points and me a damned site longer to get over 6000, so if we both want to go I have to wait for the 4000 points allocation to get his tickets.IanMcL wrote:I agree.

The one game away some attend, is often at the expense of those who travel from elsewhere, regularly. The season ticket hilders' right is the guarantee of their seat, for every home match, inc cup games. That's enough.

There is definitely an issue Booscat, when those who never go away, suddenly all want their just deserts for a 'sought after' away match at the expense of regular away attendees.Bosscat wrote:Its taken my Brother 9 years to get over 4000 points and me a damned site longer to get over 6000, so if we both want to go I have to wait for the 4000 points allocation to get his tickets.
Yes we are season ticket holders ... so why shouldn't we get more points, after all we commit to buying 19 home games up front, (and if like when I was on holiday cannot attend I lose that money I give my seat to a friend who takes my Brother)
We try attend around 4 to 5 away games a season (it would be more but obviously some are sold out in the 6000 points category). I've no problem at all with that tbh it is what it is and down to where we are in Footballs top tier.
Why shouldn't we have the ability to attend that occasional away game because we have amassed points.
There would be a hell of a lot complaining if it was 1st come 1st served on away tickets regardless and the regular away attendees couldn't go.
The system works ... it aint broke so why try and change it.
Remember having to go in Hospitalty at Coventry City away in the FA Cup in 2000 as we didnt have season tickets at that time. Think we lost 3-0 and Paul Crichton was in goal.ZizkovClaret wrote:Has anyone looked at the hospitality options? Cant imagine its cheap but then again we wont be their highest band game i'd think?
*Edit* "Cheapest" is just shy of 400 quid
If you ever book again to London with a friend, buy the two together card for a third off the price. The card lasts for a years worth of journeys but you would be 20 quid better off just for this one.Bosscat wrote:Booked on the 9.47 from Skipton £116 each with 3 stops down to White Hart Lane and 4 Stops back via York getting into Skipton 10.43
We only travel around once a year by train m8... I only booked this one because there were no seats on the Supporters club coach. But I know what you mean....Quickenthetempo wrote:If you ever book again to London with a friend, buy the two together card for a third off the price.

No one suggesting 1st come 1st served. A rolling points system over say, 3 seasons would ensure the people who did the most games got rewarded but that it wasn't the closed shop we have now. Anyone having a season or 2 of attending regularly would soon catch up.Bosscat wrote:Its taken my Brother 9 years to get over 4000 points and me a damned site longer to get over 6000, so if we both want to go I have to wait for the 4000 points allocation to get his tickets.

My son had a season ticket for about 5 or 6 seasons from about 6, sadly he couldn't go on many big away games due to low points, and never really caught the away day buzz.paulatky wrote:In an earlier thread you said if there were any changes to the loyalty system it would be too late to benefit you and your son but it seems you were able to get tickets within the 6,000 points slot so why would any change be too late for you
We've done similar 9.30 ish train £29.50.littleboroughclaret wrote:Train advice. If you go on split my ticket there are a couple of £45 return options. That is Manchester to London. Only issue is a change in Crewe that adds an hour to the journey. 830 from manc getting in London at 1150. I couldn't find any cheap direct return ones.

Have a 30 minute wait at crewe, but at a £50 saving ratyer than going direct, I can cope with that!
We wasn't quite as quick off the ball and the 9.30 down and 19.30 back were about £78Granny WeatherWax wrote:07:55 man - eus

Both direct. Was £50 when we booked it as soon as tv fixtures announced.

I guess that you've clicked on 10 tickets for each of the 4 categories, meaning that there are at least 40 left but that doesn't give any indication as to just how many are left. By putting fictious figures on here as to how many tickets are supposedly left you're possibly not doing any favours to fans hoping to buy tickets at 5pm with 2000+ points!IanMcL wrote:I wasn't guessing but I think the club are drip feeding them on.
Over 40 available now!

Club just tweeted me now saying sold out. Gutted, not missed an away game this season so far or plan to. Never mind, I'll visit next seasonLeisure wrote:Nothing showing as available online but not showing sold-out.

I wonder
Ah well we can but hope
Has it only sold out today or are the Club just late announcing it? Thought they all went yesterday afternoon.ClaretTony wrote:We have sold our full allocation
