I know 5 people who have tickets but there's a less than 50% chance they'll go.

The people round there may not have much but they do have standards.

This - whole thing is totally over blown.

Rears head when as above, those games with limited allocation or big match mean people miss out, essentially it’s people moaning because they have missed out and want things changed to suit them.

system on whole is pretty fair.

see you all at boro on the Tuesday night ole ole.

I only did 2-3 away games a season before 23/24, didn’t get a ST for 22/23 and my points are still 1400+.

23/24 and 24/25 there’s been a lot of travelling up and down the country and it really is those 20, 30 pointer games that really boost your points tally.

This season we’ve got plenty of difficult midweek away games; Millwall x 2, Boro, Pompey, PNE and Sheff U all midweek. Wrexham on a Friday night hardly counts!

To be honest I’d have liked the points for myself! I usually only get to around 10 games a season so my points are aweful!

The points system for the most part is absolutely fantastic .

But id agree to an extent , if the tickets are as cheap as millwall maybe 20 points would have sufficed .

As pointed out nobody will moan about the points system when we play millwall or Middlesborough away midweek in the league

It’s v streamlined and easy to administer so it’s a good system.

if we get to the prem and allocations around the 2-2.5k mark, they’d need to open it up with some sort of a ballot system otherwise it runs the risk of being a ‘closed shop’.

I see no issue with a very small percentage going to ballot , say 0.001% or something close to that

It will be interesting to see how many are actually there!

I'm sure the last two league games made it to general sale and they were Saturday games so obviously more attractive (though I appreciate these are cheaper).

Urghhh, I had one of those in the mid 90's, it was a dreadful car overheated whenever there was a queue on the motorway when you could only move at a snails pace.

I disagree strongly with people buying tickets just for the points, unless the tickets end up going to the Argentinian kid.

If people don't go then they should have the points removed. I'm sure the turnstiles can detect this

It’s better than I thought. This backs up the view that things are ok as they stand. The local matches always sell out but maybe 10 games go to general sale due to high away fans capacity/ long travel distances.

I reckon as it's fans who go to most games anyway who have the points that most will attend, but still not sure why anyone is upset over those few who don't. They've paid for a ticket and it's their choice. They have that privilege by having attended lots of other games and I'd be astonished if those who only go to the odd game really fancy this one above others and aren't able to get a ticket. If they're only casual anyway, then the points accumulated also won't affect them as they'll be nowhere near the smaller allocations. The only ones who have a right to be outraged really are those few just in the brackets below (likely 1500 to 1600) who do go regularly and the points gathered might mean they miss out on a future game but likely only a couple of hundred at most.

That's happened to me with stuff before. Few years ago was on holiday and expecting a record I'd paid £50 for. Told the guy NOT to post it until a certain date but he forgot or whatever and sent it. As we weren't in the postman "helpfully" put it in the recycling box. Then, the Gods conspired against me big time when my neighbour "helpfully" put my recycling out as he knew we were away. Result: one lost record, and £50 down.

Years ago my neighbour found an envelope in the street addressed to me which looked like it had been opened, had my ST in there.
I reckon a dodgy postman thought it was a credit card, or he opened speculatively and was disgusted with what he saw!

If the tickets are not being used then this will have to happen surely. A work colleague of mine whos a Man U fan says if his season ticket has not registered for 3 games it gets revoked. Isn't that what Dougs doing for home games. Come on, if people are just buying tickets and just collecting the points without attending something has to be done

You seriously think what happens with regard to STs at one of the biggest clubs in the world has any relevance to a one off Caraboa cup game for a club that sells out 2 or 3 home games a year?!
How often do you think this happens outside of a cup game with cheap ticket prices and a big points award?

Still not the point though. I've just got back from Hols, wanted to go next week to Millwall thought I'd get a ticket easy. I'm not buying someone else's though.
