Return of Supporters

[percypawpaw]

You’ve just given me a near heart attack. How are you getting £150/£200k. Not saying you’re wrong but hoping it’s less than this as I’ve got 22,200 points and wouldn’t have thought it’s as much as that. Probably better not to think about it.

Do you agree it is impossible to get to 10,000 points in 8 years only attending home games and one away game.

 

[LongsightM13]

Exactly. Sit and enjoy the pre-match entertainment with Hugh Ferris.






Actually, er, make mine a double ...

Would rather be piping bones than sitting through Ferris. But drinking shite lager isn’t compulsory

They count from 1998 with his season ticket so 23 years do.

If someone goes to 19 games and someone else 50/60 games in the same season, they the latter deserves more points and priority.

I agree but the platinum skews it a bit. I don’t agree with that bit. I was a bit disappointed with the clubs lack of email on Friday but other than that it’s luck of the draw and I was unlucky.

The Supporters who have the maximum points of 24,000 approx, have been on the Points system from the start 19 years, and those guys have been to every single game home and away, ???????

My son has more than 24,000 points.

I don’t check points from one season to the next so I’m not sure but it sounds wrong. I’ve not been able to get a Bournemouth ticket since Kevin Horlock walked aggressively but other than that I’m good. I don’t go to every away and don’t buy to sell on but if a mate wants one and I’m not going it’s win win.

It might be useful for people attending on Sunday to have a checklist of what you need as maybe some haven't watched the video in the confirmation email.

Complete questionnaire 72 hours or less before the match
Ticket in Google Pay or Apple Pay wallet or paper ticket
Photo ID
NHS Track and Trace app on phone
Mask

The one that could catch people out is photo ID.

 

[Tonster]

I think you’re vastly underestimating the maximum points. There are quite a few with over 28,000 points.

He must have gone to every single game in the last 19 years to get 24,000 points.

Track and Trace App on phone can’t be compulsory.

No its not but I'm not risking arguing with a jobsworth.

Possibly I don't know, what i am saying you don't get 1190 points per season for buying a Platinum season ticket, because someone who had done this over the last 19 years would have 24,000 points, including the 1500points given at the start ?

Yep , and 24k doesn't get you to Bournemouth away. Which shows how few tickets go to points that game.

Platinum started in 2011/12 to cash in on the FA cup win and SC holders who didn't get a ticket for the final.

For platinum you get 380 points for renewing, 600 points if you join the cup schemes so there’s 980 points before you’ve gone to a single game.

I estimate I averaged around 2000 points a season since platinum was introduced (with a few decent cup runs) until recent seasons when away points were stopped.

Thanks for this information.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I don't think that's correct, I was in from the beginning got 1500points, then had a season ticket every year, I have attended every game at home, and been to away games and Europe on many occasions, apart from the last 5 years when I haven't done as many away, so off you calculation without Europe or going away I would have, 1190 x 19= 22,610 points ?, then plus Europe and have more points than anyone else ?, I have 17,800 ???

That cannot be correct ?.

The figures are not correct.

The figures quoted cannot be correct.

Let's just be clear. Are you disputing the figures? I can't tell from your posts.

 

[hobbsisablue]

I see you got your ticket you dickhead

Correct. Can’t wait.

 

[hobbsisablue]

The loyalty points system seems to have lost it’s way.

I can understand the frustration of youngsters wanting to get on the ladder and finding it difficult

Initially only 10 points were awarded for away games. Then it became 20 if you signed up for platinum and then 40, before no points were awarded for away games due, I believe, because people were buying tickets just for the points.

Even though it is not in my interest, but, I would suggest, that a revolving 5 year process is introduced with 50 points awarded for each match, home or away, thereby weighting the points in favour of current attendance.

Also, home season tickets should only reward supporters with points if they’ve actually attended, ie swiped their card.

If you’ve got a high number of points you will still be ahead of the rest only if you keep attending. If not other City fans can quickly catch up..

I don’t want to see a return of this ballot ever again.

I don’t want to see a return of this ballot ever again.......especially if I’m unsuccessful

24k is nowhere near the maximum. I'm on 24,950 and while I've only missed a handful of home games in 30 years I'm a fair way short of the maximum number of away games as I miss 2 or 3 most seasons plus several European aways.

Imagine how many “gags” he’s been able to write in this hiatus.

Surprised he’s not announced a worldwide tour!
