Here we go again.
Why not join an OSC.
OSC's always take the away allocations. Did you go to.........?
Blah, f***ing, blah!
Nobody is having a go at OSC members who have done the rounds, been to the away games and accumulated their loyalty points. Fair play. They deserve an away, semi-final and final ticket, just like any other non-OSC member who has done the rounds and accumulated similar loyalty points. Let's get that straight from the off.
The problem is OSC members who get semi-final and final tickets who haven't done the rounds and haven't got the loyalty points needed to get a semi-final and/or final ticket legitimately, yet still do, because they are in the OSC, or in with the OSC Secretary, etc. (and don't say it doesn't go on)
As I posted earlier tonight.
The said person has 1500 loyalty points, doesn't go to away games, isn't in the cup scheme, and has had his season ticket for a few seasons, yet because he is in the OSC, he went to the semi-final and told me today that he has a final ticket. Go figure. :-?
It's now time for Gary Cook, Danny Wilson, etc, to put an end to this sordid practice of certain OSC branches and Secretary's claiming and getting more tickets than they need, and giving them to people in their branches who don't qualify for those tickets. Everybody knows it goes on.
People join OSC's so they can be with their mates, have a drink, get subsidized coach travel, go to meetings attended by City players, etc. They shouldn't be joining OSC's so they can jump the ticket queue with the blessing of the club on the QT. Join an OSC and get the perks, but one of those perks shouldn't be to get a ticket you don't deserve ahead of non-OSC members who have done the rounds and accumulated more loyalty points than you have.
Being honest.
As for me before anyone asks. Just under 6000 loyalty points. In the cup scheme. Of late. Never went to Liverpool, Blackburn or Everton. That money saved went to my Wembley ticket and travel. Hopefully going to Bolton, ticket permitting.
Sort it out City, once and for all.
