Away tickets

Eds said:
What exactly is a points whore? Is it someone who can’t attend a game but buys a ticket because a mate has asked if it would be possible? Is it someone who buys a couple of tickets for them and their mate who then on match falls ill and doesn’t go. The other person then comes on here and says they have a spare? Is it someone who buys a ticket and is then told two weeks later by their wife that the6 can’t go as she has booked a romantic night away. Guy moans and groans but sells the ticket at face value to his best mate’s son? Can someone let me know the definition of this so called person!

It’s someone who buys the ticket with no
Intention of going (to gain the points).
 
You know there is a lot of stuff being talked about but has anyone thought of writing to their City Matters Rep to ask exactly what they are doing, if the corporate and OSC members will be affected? I did, I wrote to all 4 of the ones that represent me and I got some full and complete answers.

Try it, it works. :-)

What exactly is a corporate member with several tickets to dish out to friends & associates? Or a Supporter Club secretary handing out tickets to members with limited / no points or friends and family of members?

They are just making up terms and rhetoric to normalise the persecution of the small minority of fans who can get away tickets for every match, making out you have done something wrong get get a lot of points, and that they are fair game to be robbed of their 'privileges' whilst those driving these decisions have a relationship with the club and unearned privileges they want to protect. Wipe out this minority and all the problems will be solved, and plenty are lapping it us as 'fair'.

Fear factor??

Do we know the sanctions that will be imposed yet to create any 'fear factor'

Football is losing it big time now. Fear factor, I despair

How do you want me to describe it? I don't know what sanctions they are going to impose and they probably will never announce it, it all adds to the 'fear factor'.

Personally it wouldn't work with me but then I am different than most people.

It isn't just football losing it big time, the world is ruled by fear.

they see an ad, anyone not using their points for blah blah blah game. boom loads of pm's from people who had no intention of going. completely different to helping a mate out, put on a different rota stops them going so they pass it on. fair enough I say. if you want whores go on Facebook, its rife.

Facebook is unbelievable for home and away games the club should be looking at that before anything else. Some advertise away games months before the game
 
They make a good point in the podcast - lots of fans went home and away in the 70s, 80s and 90s and didn’t get any points and struggle to get tickets for away games. Surely they deserve a chance to get ticket aswell

There was a point made that all supporters clubs get at least two tickets - how is that fair and why on earth do they deserve tickets ?

It is yes, but the fa cup ruling used to be a minimum of 15% of tickets for away fans. United gave us less than 15% (Allegedly) due to police restrictions,

That's why I only mentioned prem games. Rule in the FA Cup is now 10% not 15% IIRC hence around 7/8000 tickets at Utd

They knew what system was coming in and a lot of them will be on high points now.

I’m sure they’d of been top of the que at the time with tokens out of the programme at one time but they stopped going so they lost their spot. IMO they hadn’t a clue what they were talking about
