But City have honoured the bargain. If you paid £50, it was a ludicrously cheap way of doubling your points (and still is even though they don't give points for away games). I pay £765 for my season ticket, which gives me 190 points. Pay £815 and I'd get 380 plus double points for the other 10-12 home games we'll play in a typical season, not tomention the points for cup schemes.
You've had those points if you've paid it and, until such time as City decide to change the way points are allocated, you'll keep them. There's no legal issue at all here. If your car insurance included a protected NCD for which you paid a £50 premium and the insurance company removed that option, you couldn't claim against them for the prvious years you'd paid. If on the other hand City said they were scrapping Platinum and removed all the additional points you'd accrued since 2010, then I suspect you would have a case.
Sorry PB, I’ve been on the pop today and I’ve made a number of typos. My personal view is that anyone who would take legal action against the Club for something like this isn’t a true blue. I can’t recall the Club promising that Platinum would be around for the long haul to help people move up the points ladder and people have got the points they paid for.
