It was discussed on another thread and Corky came up with a fairly blinding idea (imo) for loyalty points. I just wondered what everyone else thought as the club always say they welcome feedback.
At present, the loyalty points awarded all add up and those with the most points will always have first dibs on everything and younger fans that may have only been a SC holder or regular "game goer" for 3-6 years have no chance of ever getting towards the front of the queue for big games, finals etc.
What Corky proposed was to move onto a ten year "rolling" system. This would mean from next year 2001/02 points would no longer count but 2011/12 games would.
This system would mean that those with the most points now, would continue to be able to go to the big games, but younger fans on 2-3000 points would know that over the coming years, their points would start getting closer to the top.
At present, an 18 year old knows they will only ever get top go to Utd away, a Euro final etc, when the old guard depart the mortal coil. And whilst I know that people will say that older fans that have been going for 20 years should always get presidence, but it doesn't seem 100% fair that those lucky enough to have been born a decade or two earlier should always be on top.
Atleast a rolling 10 year period would reward loyalty, regardless of age.
(before anyone has a go, I am 29 and in the middle on about 4,000 so neither system particularly benefits me - I only started the thread as loyalty points, bonuses, away/final tickets seem to be at the fore-front of attention at present).
Thouughts?
