My first season ticket was 1973, and one every year since.
For many seasons, good and bad I attended about 90% of away games
Only advancing years has limited my away games to around 5 a season
Personally I think I've earned the right to pick which away games I attend, but unless I allow someone to use my number for tickets, I will drop below the 2k in the coming seasons and lose that choice. At what point does loyalty end?
A youngster.

- my first was 1961 and every year since. Been attending away games regularly for much of the time since the mid to late 1960s.

A long time since I've been called a youngster, thank you
My first game was 1967

1960 for mine. I think I can call a big percentage of posters on here a youngster.

Tickets were supposed to go to season ticket holders with 6,000 points only for that game. The neighbours who got them don’t go on the Turf. Nothing to do with the loyalty system.
so they got them via someone WITH points or via other means?

Why are we still discussing this. For better or for worse (in my opinion worse) the system was changed and that's it. As someone who attended most of my away games in the 3rd and 4th divisions I personally feel rather insulted that suddenly I am considered less "loyal" (whatever that means) than fans who have only watched Burnley in the last 10 years or so. Most games go to general sale and so far I have never been inconvenienced in practice .... but I felt very insulted when the change was made.
