Why is it spot on if he had nowhere near enough points then a hundred or so tickets still wouldn't allow him to get one.
Too give my two penneth I run a supporters branch and put in a lot of work to do so. Do I need to? No... I have 20000 plus points so qualify for almost all games..
I can only speak for our branch but we got 2 today and 2 for Bournemouth so the branches aren't creaming off the majority. Our tickets also go to the same people who go to every game ie. The ones who deserve it.
Some have said that there's no need for supporters club branches based on today's technology. I'd have agreed a year ago but now with the introduction of the new website you can't see people's points, you have to blindly assign tickets to other cards.
The old website may have facilitated the demise of the supporters clubs the current system doesn't so until they resolve that I reckon we're here to stay and let's face it that whilst it doesn't apply to all the ones now moaning about supporters clubs which let's face it were taking tickets in the old 2nd and 3rd divisions are the ones who didn't go then but now want to go cos we're good
