A disgraceful undermining of the Ticket Points system - again

[Prestwich_Blue]

'All' City Matters Reps should be elected by the wider fan base.

That isn't the view of City Matters. The OSC should decide who its rep is. Otherwise we'd have a repeat of the farce whereby some guy in India got voted in. You have to have someone on or close to the OSC leadership.

 

[Rammy Blue]

But realistically how many tickets are we talking about here?
Many OSC members will be eligible to purchase tickets early on, yet the picture being given in this thread is all of the OSC tickets are going to folk who have been to 3 games or less all season

It’s a huge chunk of first choice on blocks that are going to people who don’t deserve it, people who should be lucky to be there never mind getting the best seats.

 

[Rammy Blue]

You may be right but it is still important to ask the question. That said, upon launch, we contacted the Club to set out the purpose of the Trust. The Club have replied and we’re looking to schedule in an introduction discussion.

I agree Alex, don’t get me wrong. I’ve joined the trust for exactly this kind of reason, it will be interesting to see the fall out.

Where do you get your stats from and where are they?

The lieing FA will tell us most are going to grass roots officials and people who support football, but that’s a load of bollocks

It's actually not - I went to forest v spurs back in the day when my housemate got 2 tickets through the manager of his team, the manager won them in a local FA draw.
The FA do give tickets via this method - what happens to them after is beyond their control though.
(It's still stinks though)

Morning all. Just wanted to flag that we have picked up the concern about this. As an Interim Board, we have sent a letter to the Club this morning seeking clarification and transparency about the situation.

Why didn't you just ask the OSC ?

What you on about?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

What you on about?

So that’s a no lol

Me and my 2 kids are Citizens members in the cup scheme. We've been to every round, including Newcastle and Southampton. Looks like we will have to pay £355 on Tuesday if we want to buy 3 tickets together so probably won't bother.

It's fucking disgusting. It really is

Give over you utter plank, all you do is bang the OSC drum constantly.

I always stand up for the underdog on here. It’s easy to be a bandwagon jumper.

Strange

Not really. It’s called values.

 

[cityutopia]

Not really. It’s called values.

Being on the wrong side of history because you like supporting the underdog is not values, it's called being pretentious.

it goes season ticket cup scheme then season ticket non cup scheme then if any tickets left match day members and you have to apply when it’s your window only same as everywhere else.

We had 500+ people apply for our block we don’t get all the tickets we want, immediately 270 minimum miss out.

The people will be fans who have been involved with 1894 so we know them, either helped out making or putting out displays or who have been in singing blocks before we have no unknowns and we think behaviour might be ok. We didn’t advertise for this game. The club get a list of the people on points. They are happy to see a display and a good atmosphere which is basically why we get the offer of organising a singing section.

Someone wouldn’t just go “oh I know I’ve got 16k points I want to jump in with 1894 even though I’ve had no previous contact with them” they would be people we already know because they are motivated by the atmosphere and by helping out.

You’re either arsed about the atmosphere or you are not.

Watford fa cup final we didn’t do a display but we took seats for singing at the back of the lower tier. These were dearer than the front. Atmosphere and displays are our only motivation.

Hahaha course I’m arsed about the atmosphere we create loads in 315 every week. It’s as if you think all the atmosphere is generated by 1894 every week when there’s loads of others in the ground getting it going

 

[Chappie]

Do we think the supporters clubs were restricted to 20% because all I have seen is messages where branches got all their requests, well with 400 branches, albeit a lot abroad on average it should be 13/14 tickets each, I am seeing numbers way way above these figures and when I went online at 10am friday huge chunks were also greyed out, where have these gone

You know that the 400 branches will not all have requested tickets for the final.
And many others will have asked for far less than 14 you state as a average ,hence the other branches getting what they asked for.

the underdog is the person who committed to a season ticket, to the cup scheme, to the parting with hard earnt cash, with the time to go and support the club, the benefactor of this shambles is the person who joins the supporters club, attends no games and then applies and gets an undeserved final ticket, but not only that 1st dibs on them, while the actual supporter sits and waits and see's the best and cheapest seats disappear and they worry will they get a ticket and can they afford it, and come summer City will say sign up for cup schemes for priority for cup finals and the supporter signs up and the supporters club member disappears up his own arse until the time come along again where he gets to shaft loyal supporters again.

You take it too far though, there is a middle ground, nothing wrong with being in a supporters club whilst also thinking the ticket policy is wrong.

What I would have written if had the inclination for a long post lol, spot on mate.

To be fair he asked a question of a poster.
He did not get a coherent reply, only abuse.

If one replies to a question with abuse or spout about historical posts it leads me to believe they dont have an answer.
