The Anti Supporters Club

Good question.

1) Access to all the matches. Sounds simple but it's not. I would love a Club TV channel which I could subscribe to. Alas I can't

2) reasonable access to tickets for one off visitors. I know the local fans would have the stadium 100%ST, but I do think a reserved avenue for visitors should be kept open.

3) That the club and fans behave far better in club matters and not resort to war in the stands. It looks fucking awful and only serves as manor for the red top brigade on a Monday morning.

4) That fan groups are honest, open and clear about what they want and for whom. I'm more than a little offended that they seem to think that the match going season ticket holders are the only fans to be concerned about.

5) That the club displays the same professionalism and skill off the pitch as it does on the pitch.

6) Better remote experience and engagement. The app is a bit clunky and doesn't do much. The online shop is a bit crap. etc.

Point 3 is my main one though

1) Clubs are not permitted to show their own matches, and this policy should be maintained indefinitely. Liverpool's owners were attempting to sneak it through the back door with Project Big Picture in order to gain access to additional TV revenue and cut the majority of other clubs off.

2) I don't know of a single individual advocating for 100% season tickets; the club hasn't released new season tickets in six years, which has been a source of concern for fans. We presently have approximately 70% season tickets to capacity; if this percentage is maintained, there will be approximately 15,000 tickets available for occasional fans.

3) That is 100% on the club, not the fans.

4) One of the biggest complaints is about the nine resale sites and the high match day pricing; these are issues that have no effect on season ticket holders, so claiming that fan groups are exclusively concerned with season ticket holders is simply wrong. When it comes to fan groups aligning, we need an independent supporters trust.

5 & 6) I agree with
 
Is this a dig at the Trade Union Blues? They are very new as a group in fairness

The whole new tier, will be 9518 seats. Of that circa 8000 ish are additional new seats, the rest are existing being absorbed into the tier. Excluding Tier 1 below which is unchanged.

That includes 456 skybar seats and 120 hospitality seats outside the hotel rooms looking onto the pitch. They are 'true hospitality', if you would. Thenrest id all general admission, that's 8942 GA seats. Including 648 GA+ seats at the bottom of the tier, which are hospitality-lite type seats, but could also well be season tickets as well just a higer offering.

However, of that, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what portion will be season tickets and what not. Some have mentioned it will all be flexi-gold. The club haven't said anything publicly, but even at 51% as you note if 'majority' is a true allocation, that's still around 4.4k potential season tickets to allocate, once you exclude the hospitality.

Thanks. That’s not a bad starting number, especially as they say relinquished STs will be added to that figure.

No idea. Why is MacNab part of Trade Union Blues?

I wouldn’t say the campaigners are stuck in the 80s because the middle class utopia of families all having season cards together wasn’t the norm. Most people didn’t have a lot.

Kevin Parker is spending at least part of his Sunday, sorting Cup Final tickets for disabled Blues. Hope he’s resigned from Al-qaeda though!

So is my branch secretary. He sorts all the tickets out, travel, member issues, etc. The only thanks he gets is from the branch members. And he doesn't ask for it.

Likewise up to a point but you can’t sort out the disability tickets without help from Kevin as advised by the Access Team.

Your members should be more grateful to your Branch Sec.

I didn't mean disability tickets, even though it reads that. I'll change it.

The members are grateful as they can be, trust me. :-)

I was making that point that branch secretaries have also been sorting out tickets, travel, payment, the end of season party, etc for branch members over the weekend and today.

I've been doing that for the last 3 days with no back up staff, so that all the lads on my coach can sit together in the ground.
All loyalty point holders all with over 18000 points all done the hard miles and none of them taking a ticket that they haven't earnt in their own right.

Old people?

I remember my FIL. To his dying day (not that far back tbh) , he never touched a computer or mobile phone. Everything he did was cash, letters and phonecalls.

I thought that a little dinosauric tbh.
But then I come on her and I get the opposite by reading superb posts by octogenarians.

Funny old world.
