A Positive from the new euro away ticket system?

At least you're honest.

How does that help the club know who is in the stadium and why are the club allowing a supporters club to circumnavigate its own security procedures?

They Club are not. The new ticket inspection regime applies to all (albeit Thomson travellers get their tickets on flights) but thanks for making another contribution to Supporter Club bingo! All these "benefits" will help to recruit more members!!
 
They are whilst they continue to issue them tickets, it really is that simple.

3,500 tickets should go the the first 3,500 fans that qualify.

You've now got a line in "Supporter Club Bingo!!!"

The reality is that the Club has reduced allocations to SCs. However, after the poor turn outs of "real fans" at Norwich, Newcastle and Chelsea maybe the Club are seeing these cuts as a retrograde step.

Were you there in Madrid? Have you ever seen an older City following. I for one haven't and is be surprised if our grey army didn't have and Lotalty Points between them!

they usually do but 500 of those have no intention of attending and pass the tickets on, not just to family etc but to anyone who "orders" from them.

Sorry fella but not following you at all and not sure what point you are trying to make to be honest.

I wasn't in Madrid and have made that clear in several posts but was a regular away fan for over 15 years and know how the Supporters clubs work in reality and feel the system introduced by the club is draconian, not fit for purpose and does nothing to stop what it is they are saying it will.
 
here's what I KNOW. not rumour, actually know.

it is 100% the points whores that have caused this. I was told at an earlier euro game that "something" was going to be done. no bombings no security no nothing, just whoring. as it happens there are bi products of this system that make sense i.e. they know who is in the stadium.

we were sat with people with next to zero points in Madrid, they told us directly their supporters club gave them the tickets.

its early days, I'm sure the club will tweak things to make collection easier.

people had better plan their aways cos this system isn't going anywhere. if you can't make the pick up don't book, its a bugger but its the way it is.

I'm not sure how far we take this though. I am taking my grandson today and would love to take him soon to a euro away, as it stands he has no chance, even if his grandma isn't going(like she'd trust him with me) I couldn't give him her ticket. its a shame, he is after all the future of the club.
Can't speak for all SCs but the one I belong to has its own loyalty scheme where points are gained for attending away matches, requesting tickets for away matches, using SC transport for home and away matches and attending monthly meetings. The people who get the tickets through the SC for games with high demand tend to be people who have quite a lot of club ticket points but not right at the top. The people with the most points tend to get their tickets direct. It seems a fair system because it favours people who go home and away in recent years who wouldn't be in with a shout otherwise. I personally don't use the SC much so have more chance of getting tickets via the club.
 
Best thing that could ever happen and, it will I think increase home crowds as a result in Europe (season after next when we are back in the big competition). How? I had a Champs Lge season ticket with my kid every year before this one but he could hardly ever go (live 250 miles away) and we could also never get tickets for aways which if it was half term or end of term I would have taken him. Now I will get one again because I know I will probably be high enough up the list to get an away one as not all the 7 or 8000 above me in the points will go. Perfect. Sure others will now think the same
 
Why would it not work for away matches in England and Wales? Just tell the fans to get there 6 hours early and the sheep would oblige.



Well use it for games in this country then, and continue to baaa along as fans are mistreated. It would help you in this country too whilst eroding liberties of fans. The majority of fans with no points were not that bothered about going away in the past, and it only benefits a small minority of fans who actually go with the rest being able to get tickets anyway.
What a load of rubbish.

Baaaaaaaaa.

Something the new I.D system should stop in theory but then you say you sat with families that didn't even have season cards so how did they get wristbands and tickets and how did they get through the I.D process?

Th club has gone half cocked and hit a majority of fans with a draconian system whilst not others either due to them having a bit more disposable income or them being part of the SC's and cosy club that all is.

You cant do that, it has to be one system for all regardless as its the only way it can ever be fair with nobody being able to grumble about it.

You either accept the way it is and has been for years or you stamp it out once and for all, for everyone.

I reckon it's more than 500 judging by how far down the ticket points go when they can't get their hands on them in the UK.
