Flip the coin and it seems most of the “Super point brigade” won’t be either.It definitely isn't.
Wonder how many of the 'closed shop' merchants will be going?
How many of them moan about the points system when they miss out for Leicester, Blues etc?Flip the coin and it seems most of the “Super point brigade” won’t be either.
It’s ok-they can keep their points nicely topped up by selling them on.How many of them moan about the points system when they miss out for Leicester, Blues etc?
Or refer to away games as a closed shop when they quite clearly aren't?

Yep they can indeed. Some would say feeding off the scraps……That shouldn't happen.
But the games not sold out, people bitching about nonexistent closed shops have a chance to actually earn some points.
Not sure what you think would be a fairer system.Yep they can indeed. Some would say feeding off the scraps……

So how do they go about it then?The figures for the amount of games that get to general sale or fairly low point brackets have been put up on this forum numerous times.
It's easy to get tickets for a large number of games if people really want to.
But the reality is there are people who want the same privileges as those that put the hard yards in without doing the work.
Not sure, maybe hold back 20% for anybody who wants a ticket?Not sure what you think would be a fairer system.
Are we a big enough club to justify having ballots? There's nothing preventing you from doing a 'buy for the points' with this Norwich fixture to be clear. I don't know how many points you're on but there's been a fair number of games even this season where we on the relatively low 1200-1300 could have got tickets to increase our total. We just don't do so if we're not actually planning on going.Not sure, maybe hold back 20% for anybody who wants a ticket?
Jovon Makama to take the piss out of the high line while MVE stands there with his arm hoisted in the airConsidering our Carrow Road record, I wonder how will they score their winning or equalising goal near the end of the game? A Lati tumble as a forward brushes past him, or maybe a fabulous Kitch charge leaving us wide open at the back or even an MVE back pass.
Whatever new hell awaits us, I will be there.
I was there for the Lati calamity (though he was fouled) and for the Kitch red card at Norwich. I will be there on the coming Monday (and will be happy to see no Sargent in their line up!). Don't agree with holding back 20% of tickets for lottery. People would then whinge about that ( my kid's got one, but no-one to take him, 'cos I was unsuccessful etc etc etc) The system is fair ( and was gutted I missed out for Wrexham, but that's life)Considering our Carrow Road record, I wonder how will they score their winning or equalising goal near the end of the game?

So how do they go about it then?Wait until a game that the majority of point holders such as Norwich away on a Monday night aren’t interested in so they can get a few points? Why should people who are not high point holders have to select a game such as this, a logistical nightmare on a workday because the “hard yarders” have choose not to go?
That’s just not Cricket in my eyes.

I would absolutely love that.Not sure, maybe hold back 20% for anybody who wants a ticket?
I would absolutely love that.
I would happily miss going to a low points game having been home and away for a very long time just so that someone who fancies a day out can get a selfie with his mates and spend the second half in the bar.
For what its worth, I will be at Norwich along with the ‘usual faces’ or ‘super point brigade’ who probably only amount to 6-700 in reality.
The real answer to getting access to every game is to put the effort and hard yards in.
The irony, why should a non priority points holder have choice at QPR away for example? Because it’s a nice 3pm Saturday kick off?So how do they go about it then?Wait until a game that the majority of point holders such as Norwich away on a Monday night aren’t interested in so they can get a few points?

It only ever fails when people sell the tickets on and bank the points. Or someone bypasses the system by knowing a friend of a friend.The irony, why should a non priority points holder have choice at QPR away for example? Because it’s a nice 3pm Saturday kick off?
you answered the question, yes you have to go to Norwich to make sacrifice. Did I want to go to Burnley away last year on a Tuesday with no manager, no, was it a logistical nightmare, yes. However did it to
Move up ladder and enable the lower allocation/big games.
the points system is pretty fair on whole. Loyalty is rewarded.
Exactly how it is for me.Genuinely don’t think there’s a perfect way to do this however loyalty should be rewarded.
I don’t have enough points to make most of the away games but genuinely understand that people who have followed the city home and away for years should get priority over me who only goes home games imo.
Agree on the points in regards to cup games and selling on but not sure what the club can do regarding this outside of what they currently doExactly how it is for me.
I get to go a few away, 5 so far this season, 6 after norwich, So I have opportunity. And 100% I see that its fair that those who have been more regular should have first dibs, next year I'll have access to even more, it rewards that loyalty.
But.. the only thing that skews it all is those that will have access to like a cup game away, and takes the seat off someone who'd go just to bag the cheap extra points. And even if not empty, buying to sell just takes away the opportunity for someone else to get that loyalty rewarded.

It’s a problem for the points based system if people buy tickets without any intent on going as it prevents others from going and earning points to incentive them to keep coming.How big a problem is people selling tickets on?
I've no doubt it happens but how much of an issue is it?
There's a lot of noise around the high points given for cheap cup tickets and I think we might see a stop to this though was genuinely surprised at how many fans were in attendance Saturday.
Nothing, but also to be fair its not like its a "ccfc" issue alone, the entire sport has resellers and point hoarders.Agree on the points in regards to cup games and selling on but not sure what the club can do regarding this outside of what they currently do

A one off where somethings happened and you can’t go isn’t a problem. Just don’t like the idea of people blocking others building points as that’s the whole point
All my opinion mind

Once we hit the PL, then anyone with less than 1500 points will not be going to any away games. How do they then earn the points?
