What about those fans who go to all the PL away matches, but don't go to all the cup home matches.
There are plenty of City fans who have signed up for the 3 cup schemes, will attend all the home cup matches, regardless of the opposition.
There were 14,000 empty seats against BMGB. I bet some of those empty seats belonged to fans who always go away, but have enough *loyalty points* not to have to bother with homes cup games, especially in the ELC and/or FA Cup.
Loyalty isn't just about attending away matches.
Always said points shouldn't be added to your account until your card has been used at each cup game.
