I can’t lie, I’m still livid about the fact cityzen card holders were able to enter the ballot alongside season card holders with an equal chance of being successful.
Total Bullshit.

We live in imperfect times and we had an imperfect solution. First world problems, lads and lasses. Literally millions of people are much worse off than you tonight. They would dream to have so little, so trivial to get wound up about

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.
Depends on who's checking the photo ID. If it's Showsec doing the checks then nobody will be caught out !
Why equal chance?I can’t lie, I’m still livid about the fact cityzen card holders were able to enter the ballot alongside season card holders with an equal chance of being successful.
Total Bullshit.
the 22k points allowance was taken from the Cityzens allocation, not the season card allocation.

I've got mates with well over 25k mind they have done nearly every game.He must have gone to every single game in the last 19 years to get 24,000 points.
I would estimate the max points are around 28000 +
I’ve got over 25000 and was offered superbia for the first two seasons before they realised it was a shit idea and the 20 or so that joined are prob still on it now minus 2 or 3
It was on offer to the top 1000 highest point holders (I believe) my invite no was around no.640 so if you were offered it prob gives you an indication where you are in the pecking order. I’ve prob missed about 15-20 in the last 10 years since the sup/plat/gold era
An average of around 2 per season usually due to being on holiday. It’s very rare I just can’t be arse as it becomes a bit of an addiction doing places like Swansea on a Wed night and lost count of the number of Sunderland trips on a Tuesday or Wednesday I’m self employed so I decide when I work
My lad is 17 who I have taken home and away including being high jacked from school on several weekday afternoons with varied excuses has 19500 he’s had a season ticket since he was three (he claims he was there when we were shit) and I started him taking everywhere when he was about 10. Used to save us all a few quid with the railcard too. Now it will cost me !!! Funding his Porto trip
Anyway that’s my story

Yes I was but after a few answers I decided to check what has happened, and this is what I have found with my own account which is disturbing for myself.Let's just be clear. Are you disputing the figures? I can't tell from your posts.
In 2002, we were given 1,500 points, after having a season ticket for 28 years, this was the start of the loyalty points.
From 2003 to 20011, we obtained 1,780 points for having a season ticket, so after the first 10 years on the loyalty points system the maximum without going to away games was 3,200 points ? including cup schemes.
From 2012 to 2020, you get 380 points for a Platinum season ticket, and 600 points for all 3 cup schemes, 980 points per year, so over the last 9 years the maximum without away games is 8,820 points.
So in total an Older fan got 1,500 at the start, then a further 3,200 in the following 10 years up to 2011, and then 8,820, in the last 10 years.
So for me personally and anyone who has been a season ticket holder for a long time the system has worked against them as the points gained today are far greater than what we got at the start of the points system, which is not right in my opinion, 3,200 points in the first 10 years, forgetting the previous 28 years for me personally, then 8,820 points in the last 9 years ?, today you are getting 2.75 times the amount of points ?.
I had no idea, that's why I thought it was impossible to gain the points in such a short time ?.

Was you in IBIZA back in the early 80s when Trevor Francis was sold just before the season started.I would estimate the max points are around 28000 +

I have just checked online and my points aren’t showing for the trip to Brunton Park to watch Tony Cunningham miss from 5 yards out in 1984. That game alone should have been worth 28,000 points.
Nope but I was there in the late 80s when bought Clive Allen!!!Was you in IBIZA back in the early 80s when Trevor Francis was sold just before the season started.
And the year after actually when David Platt scored against Belgium
Tony Cunningham ffsI have just checked online and my points aren’t showing for the trip to Brunton Park to watch Tony Cunningham miss from 5 yards out in 1984. That game alone should have been worth 28,000 points.
Shaking my head typing this

The 0-1 loss at home to Bury on valentine's day 1998 when the fan ran into the pitch and ripped his season ticket up should have been worth at least 30,000 points. I think it has been voted the worst game in City's history and as I was there I can't disagree with that opinion.
Ahh Tony Cunningham. A man that never broke sweat.turned slower than a supertanker and could be outpaced by an arthritic snail.

For some reason he always escapes a mention in all time worst City XIs. Absolutely fucking hopeless, one of the worst I’ve ever seen in the shirt. A fixture in Newcastle’s worst ever number 9s lists.Tony Cunningham ffs

He was a big pal of Mick McCarthy from their Barnsley days, apparently Big Mick lobbied extensively for his signing
Got an idea it could be one of two peopleNo I met a lad and his girl friend from Macclesfield, I know he still goes as I think he was called Steve, he will possibly be older than you, late 50s.

Do you remember Ken Mcnaught got him on loanFor some reason he always escapes a mention in all time worst City XIs. Absolutely fucking hopeless, one of the worst I’ve ever seen in the shirt. A fixture in Newcastle’s worst ever number 9s lists.
