dan.j.mcfc said:Everybody is missing the point, just because the club made clear that joining the cup scheme made you eligible for tickets before others doesn't mean to say its right, just because somebody tells you that they're going to do something before they actually do it, doesn't mean its right, yes we were given prior warning, but that in no way means that its 100% infallibly the right thing to do. I have no doubt whatsoever that there were circumstances by which people could not commit to the CS this season, but have attended the majority if not all of the cup games like myself. I've said it on here time and time again, all it is, is money talking. Just because you were able to set up a direct debit should not automatically mean you should be guaranteed tickets for a cup final, you could be a first year season ticket holder who was financially secure enough to join all cup schemes and you would be given a ticket before a person with over 10000 points who may have lost their job and just couldn't commit to the cup scheme, in who's mind would that be fair? Money > Loyalty

And welcome to the football world trying to conform to FFP. Our owner isn't greedy and wouldn't need to make a couple of million to make ends meet. The club need to increase turnover and if this is one way to do it then unfortunately they need to.
Twatini and the cartel are to blame for their FFP idea. No one else.

If people are going through money troubles and couldnt afford it they would just leave the cup scheme.dan.j.mcfc said:That isn't true at the point of joining the scheme though, if at the time you are given the option to join the cup scheme you are going through money troubles why would you commit to something that will take money from you whether you can afford it or not?
Blue and Proud said:The only people to whom the cup schemes were open too were ST holders, so have already made a commitment to attend 19 games. The FA cup scheme cost nothing to join but you were obligated to buy tickets to home ties (at relatively low cost). If people could not afford or were not able to attend these home cup games there was always the option to sell on the ticket exchange (Viagogo), so the affordability issue is a bit of a red herring.
