Was going to say who he?
Never even seen signs or anything about that.
My season ticket is in south stand went to more than a few games when he was the gaffer though.
Old age is a terrible thing you know.

Just listened to that Ian Cheeseman interview these people weren’t sure if it’s 10 or 20 points for away and if platinum was £50 or £60.

How many points do you have?

Or more to the point just which games would he like to go into this ballot for.

Not as many as you I'm sure.

maybe maybe not but my guess is about 15k. pathetic mard arsing wanting a ballot for all. there are plenty of blues with more points than me, for me to be awarded a ticket in place of them would be an absolute disgrace. i'm well in to the 20's for points so its no mither for me but ANY system that allows a tiket to go to someone on zero points over someone on say 17,18 or even 19k can not possibly be right.

We have far fewer corporate fans than Uinted but give a higher percentage of tickets to them, go figure?

United corporates get around 10% of the away allocation in their ballot so that's 300 max. No idea how many members they have but it's probably close to twice as many as us.

Spurs, fans are unhappy as their corporate allocation has gone from 9% to 14% since the move.

I was on that coach mate but I was lucky, I stayed dry

I was sat one seat behind the aforementioned leaky window. In fact from memory, I was pissed wet through all day.
The only consolation was that despite all the insistence on ID and proof of payment, I was given my match ticket before we'd even left the ETIHAD Car Park

Yeah the guy did not know how much it cost and thought it was 10 points for an away.

It does not address the 3k rise in starting ticket points, rather then pretending it is 5% from across the board. IF the 5% wasn't from the loyalty point pot, why do they return there after the first day?

Shakhtar away the guy goes on about people buying tickets for points and half not turning up, but it was clary stated:

Supporters are advised, for this fixture, ticket points will be allocated to the supporter file within 5-7 days after the fixture following confirmation of stadium entry.

Therefore I seriously doubt the accusation that people bought for points without going, especially if they told they were not getting any points. It seems like anti-away regular propaganda, I am surprised it was repeated rather than questioned

The scare mongering about one fan selling away tickets on the "official website viagogo" and never goes home games is made up too. No official site for selling away tickets, so more anti away fan propaganda.

They also said it could be anyone from any ticket source, I seriously doubt sponsors paying £40m will accept that, it is daft to claim it.

They also got it wrong about not getting point from the Maine Road era. Amazing all these die-hard fans who just stopped before the system came in. The guy who only carried 1500 over must not have been to any home cup games either.

Loyalty Points were not introduced to encourage away attendance as suggested either, it was because demand was too high and to give a merit based system rather than having to queue up with 30 stubs or just the first in line which the stubs then tracking replaced.

No idea as have never needed them.

My mate Lou was sat right under the leak at the back of the bus

I'll add to this as it is totally missed by most. The bold bit. That was get to Maine Road about half four or earlier every other Saturday. All season.
Go home, fall asleep in the car, on the drive, wake up then drive back for the game that afternoon.
