FA Cup 5th round draw - Huddersfield Town (Away)

[The First Earl]

the games (and points) are there to be had. just not Huddesfield away. how many on here wanting a change in the system are going Bournemouth and/or Sunderland?

Points to be had, correct. So far this season I've done, Celtic, Leicester, Everton, West Ham, Stoke and have got Sunderland ticket. Not that many compared to others I agree. In the past I've done , Madrid, Barca, Munich, Shalka, Seville, Lisbon. Again, this is not as many as a lot of others, who quite rightly have the points allocated and should have first dibs. My gripe is that I know at least 4 people that have a ticket to Huddersfield and three of them don't even possess a season ticket, all these tickets were gained from supporters clubs. If you think that's a fair system, fair enough, personally I think it stinks.

the system is fair but is being abused. you can't hold the club responsible for that. don't forget that one way or the other fans have handed over the details for the sc to use. how would the club know who when and why.

Not fair but what other criteria can they use. The trouble with points is people buy keep their points up and sell on. I'm in a supporters club but you need to travel with to obtain your ticket. I want to go on the train with my mats so had to get my own. Not sure what the answer is, 3700 is not a lot of tickets for a match so close. Maybe the fa should be more stringent in giving the away fan more tickets as per their process.

I know a few as well but according to many it seems everything is fine and the system is working....how dare anyone have a different opinion eh.

A ballot for all fans applying would be much better.

Your points would have more credible if you named the Supporters Club(s) you say are involved.

Not only supporters clubs but people buying and selling on in the pub. The point is that the way the system currently is allows this to happen far to easily.

I agree there is some selling on going on. I've said before that I think this was at its peak after the 1 all away game at Chelsea a couple of seasons ago, when a lot of people with relatively high points missed out on a ticket. This wasn't helped by the City in the City initiative.

ER, me and one another for a start.

I'll say it again, 10 Points off a ticket for Huddersfield, I really do not mind if the 3,700 allocation has been taken up with people that have more points, good luck to them, they deserve it and they have a right to be there. The issue is that many DO NOT and are NOWHERE near the 14,000 point figure.
