If yo want entertainment from officials why not just have them toss a coin and make a decision? They're there to make the correct decisions, not be part of the spectacle. Perhaps we should just say to judges to make a judgement solely based on opening statements. Would end up with a lot of...

So, exactly the same membership idea giving priority to members just the money isn't going to the club (as far as we know, unless the supporters club pays a fee for a guaranteed allocation).

I find it weird that a supporter is advocating a system that charges fans more money to watch their club when it doesn't have to happen . ;)

They don't need to charge an extra £10 for games like Sheffield for the luxury but you're not up in arms about that. From the perspective of a fan I agree with you about rewarding dedication. From the perspective of the club it's not sensible. If a commercial manager when into a board meeting...

It isn't necessary for the club to charge the best part of £50 for a shirt - they could sell it cheaper. It's not necessary for them to charge £30 for some games and £20 for others. But they do. Because they're a business and they need to make money. And the fact is if a business has an option...

Or I'm looking at it from a neutral position whereas you have a personal vested interest in how the tickets are allocated. I can see your point of view (I actually agree with it on a personal level) but economically it's a shit opinion. The club gain nothing from doing so and they'd be missing...

And then you can make the strategic and economic decision not to buy one, if you think that the vast majority of the time you'd get a ticket just don't buy a membership and take your chances. Or if you want that piece of mind get one. I'm not suggesting it'd be a fortune. £20-25. Besides, given...

Welcome to capitalism. Loyalty and dedication means fuck all. £££ is everything. As has been pointed out, the club get nothing from away tickets. You pay the booking and admin fees on top of ticket prices, paying out yet more money on top of the actual ticket price. Are you complaining about...

No, I don't. But if I did I'd clearly be interested in buying something that would give me priority in doing so. If they sold out before I'd got hold of one then that's tough shit for me. Places that sell out regularly do memberships. The RSC has a membership scheme where you pay a fee and it...

Not against that idea but you'd definitely have to limit it to the lowest away allocation just in case as you would be guaranteeing them a ticket, whereas a membership would just be giving preferential rights in the buying process. Also when pricing up you'd maybe have to guess what other clubs...

Fixed for you. Best wishes for your recovery anyway.

Why they existed is irrelevant. The pertinent matter is that 8000 P1 memberships existed and once they'd been sold, they'd been sold. If you missed out tough. When the 2000 P2 memberships same thing. ST holders are given priority over others for non-ST games etc and this is the same principle...

Only game left early was against Tranmere away. 4-1 down and down to 10 men. End up 5-1.

Unbelievable tie overall. If we'd won that 6-0 on aggregate it wouldn't have been an unfair reflection on the two legs.

We sold Phase One S/T's and had special memberships with shirts etc. before, and this would not be that much different. Once they're gone they're gone. If you attend that many away matches then you'd make sure you or a loved one were logged in etc. to get one.

I didn't say what the cap could or should be. As the allocations will differ game to game those with smaller allocations would have to be advertised on a first-come first-served basis for those with away memberships. Just gives them a better chance of getting a ticket due to less competition...

But if they offered a priority away membership they would make some money from away games. Could make it that you have to have a season ticket to buy an away membership? Bit like Phase One.

Not a tech guy so more a query. Couldn't they just take a camera and have one person running full speed in one direction and another person in the opposite and then measure the difference in distance between the two between two frames? Then use that as the margin of error? Would allow for the...

Apart from the Phase 1 booking site of course...
