Each supporter had the chance to join the Cup Games Direct scheme.
If you did not join stop moaning about people getting tickets for the semi.

Bang on the button.

For the people moaning on sub 2k points, how many times have you actually bothered to travel more than 10 miles to go to a game?

I live in Southampton so a home game for me is a 470 mile round trip.
Far enough?

works for me to.
loyalty works

You must be deluded. This isn't rewarding loyalty. This is their sad little way of making sure everybody signs up to the cup direct scheme next year even when they can't afford to or have conflicting work commitments.

I've been to all FA cup this season, but once again this season have been shafted by a club that is really showing little of a shit it gives about fans.

Exactly its a master stroke by the club for a change loyalty earns rewards simple as sick of half empty stadium for cup games serves you right if you did not join up

.The reason I used to go to away games in the past to build my points up . Incase .

Not because you were following the team you support then? Strange.

Agree that I would be pissed off about your other point re: prices etc.

But then with 35/6k ST holders and 31.5k tickets available, then i think City have seen the 25k attendances and thought they'd reward the ones who showed up throughout the run rather than picking and choosing and relying on being 10-20 years older with a longer history of following City allowing them to automatically pick the big games.

They are not rewarding me, my younger nepthew or a couple of my mates who have showed up throughout the run. Why is that?

The same reason they're not rewarding the guy with 4-5k points who no longer has a ST i would suppose.

Nope. Part timer :o) The way I see it is the people on the Cup Scheme have financially committed to attend every Cup Match. Just like SC Holders before CC Holders. I'm not on the Cup Scheme but as long as I get a Ticket I'm happy.

no it isn't at all and yet again someone is failing to come up with a proper answer.

Those in the cup direct scheme are being rewarded for attending every cup game which is spot on.

Those not in the cup direct scheme yet have been to every cup game has as much chance of getting a ticket as someone who hasn't been to any cup games.

Put it this way.

I have 2800 points, the guy who sits next to me has 3500 points.

I have been to every cup game this season, he has been to none.

He will get a ticket before me, yet the guy who sits to the left of me will get to que jump ahead of both of us because he signed up at the start of the season. He hasn't been to more or less cup games than me, he hasn't spent more or less money than me. So please, please can somebody come back with a proper answer and proper explanation on why he is getting better treatment than me?

Just because i didn't sign up for the cup direct scheme i am being left to scramble for tickets with those who couldn't be arsed to attend any game. How is that right?

Although I may well miss out because of this, I agree with the policy. If it mean we get bigger crowds for future cup games, then fair enough.
