I think anyone who drinks dark fruits should be disqualified from eligibility ;-)

At this ‘Ticketing Working Group’ meeting was the question asked about how the tickets that are allocated to the OSCs are decided on? As I’ve asked before is it on a % allocation or just a random number with the favourite branches getting more? It should, to be fair, be on a % of membership surely?

To make it clear if a branch has 100 members & 5% is the allocation (from the OSC pot) then that branch gets 5 tickets. If a branch has 60 members they get 3 tickets.

Personally I don’t think it happens that way & as a SC holder, an OSC member, an OAP & a woman, therefore allegedly represented by 4 people I’d like to think that one of them could please ask that question!!! :-)

No need, nobody knows what actually goes on anyway by the sounds of it...

I agree
I’ve spoken to a few branch members tonight.
My old branch of 22 gets two tickets
Another branch of 130 gets two
A branch down south with about forty members gets two
The Greek branch gets......two

Anyone going tomorrow, on your way out of the ground count the number of coaches belonging to individual branches.

No apologies needed.

No need to apologise Mrs Eccles.

Yep. Let's get an away supporter rep on City Matters.

We are a minority so we deserve our own rep.

A diminishing one as well

But the point I'm making that people don't seem to understand is that it IS the system. The OSC are allocated a percentage of tickets and they decide whci hbranches get them and how many each get. The branch then decides how to distribute the tickets they've been allocated. They aren't abusing the system, it's their allocation and down to them what they do with those tickets. I fully accept that people may feel affronted that someone paying £15k a season for the Tunnel Club or branch members with less points than seasoncard holders who missed out on Brighton or Burnley tickets will be going to those games but that's the system as it stands.

Do the OSC allocate tickets to none UK branches?
