Points Whores

[charliebigspuds]

which is exactly why i raised the point, and it has everything to do with what you are saying

i know for a fact that some fans on Blue memberships get to the FA Cup final through their Supporters Club, yet the tickets sold out to seasoncard holders

i know for a fact that two people i know have already got their fulham tickets and they are on less than 2000 points, yet we think it will sell out high

is that not a part of the same problem? people getting tickets for matches that, in your words, they don't deserve

Yep, my mate went to every away as a member of a SC branch without a SC, he did Blackpool and the derby away.

and the annoying thing is, blackpool sold out just before it got to my wife and daughter's points
and f'in united sold out just before mine, i couldn't believe it!

same here, I missed both of them and I usually qualify for Utd but never got near for the 6-1, I know plenty of lads with less than me who got tix.

i dont know if anyone has mentioned it but whats the difference between buying someone a ticket and someone paying the club an extra £50 (going platinum). its all whoring!!

i think getting someone a ticket is more acceptable than going platinum. i fucking hate the idea that some glory hunter can have more points than me in a few years just because he/ she has more disposable income......platinum wankers!!!!

Or maybe they have less disposable income than you but will keep up despite not being able to afford all the aways you can?

Works both ways.

no it doesnt. if ive spent £50 on an away ticket, £25 travel and 50+ on food and drink (optional) and go to 10 away games i will have spent £750 min and only get 200 points (20 per away game). some platinum wanker spends an extra £50 on a season card and gets 190 extra points per season.

You are arguing my point but clearly not think it through.

The platinum "wanker" may not be able to afford to go to all the aways that you do, but atleast they keep up on points despite not having as much disposable income as you.

Seriously who can afford to go away regularly and hasn't gone Platinum. Possibly a few idiots who think they're principled.

You pay your money and you can do whatever you want with your points.

I don't do away games or many cup games so if i want to use my card to get tickets for other people its my choice and i don't see the problem. My property , my choice

Your card is the property of MCFC actually.

As i have said previous if i got someone a ticket for a CL / FA / League cup final for face value but i got the points i would not be accused a points whore by that person who was well down the list.

No but that would be unfair on the person that missed out on a ticket because of you<br /><br />-- Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:59 pm --<br /><br />

Where is popcorn cat??

I know 2 people who went to the derby last season with very few points. In a supporters club.. To me that is the bigger issue here!

My mate bought his lad a season ticket the first year he was born, he's 6 years of age and has 6500 points on his card, fair play I say, if you're willing to put the money up then so what. I remember when I was 12 and first started to go

I can't be arsed I'm pissed
