I have a foot in both camps with this one. I have probably enough points to guarantee a ticket for every game but my daughter who i would travel with hasn't. I've mentioned several times on here how unfair this is to our younger supporters and it is something they really need to look into. I used to be a member of Boundary Clarets way back in the day and was one of the original members but priorities changed once I had my daughter and she was younger. However if i was to travel to an away game now I would drive as it allows more flexibility in doing other things around the game.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 9:22 amWe keep talking about expanding the fanbase and attracting young fans but the loyalty points don't half put a spanner in the works.
Try telling some young kid that it will be 15 years worth of loyalty points before they're guaranteed an away ticket and that's only if the other fans with a high number stop going regular.
I've said it before and no doubt say it again but why am I or any other supporter treated better simply because we were born earlier than these younger fans who want to travel the country watching Burnley.
Loyalty points should be the last 3 years rolling.
The club clearly believe the points system is the way to go and somebody has flagged up that people are using the supporters clubs to circumvent the points system. However they surely need to address the blatant inequalities the system has thrown up.
