so the cup scheme then

[mancitymick]

All 3 as usual. Another great incentive is the 600 points. If the FA cup is not a lesson. Imagine WHEN we get to a European cup final and the allocation is piss poor like Chelsea's this year. Being in the scheme will be a no brainer

They should then make it that the ones that joined first get priority on tickets and not these 'jonny come lately' ;-)

my mate has 8000 points and did not go in the cup scheme,he will next season and you think someone who was in it this year should be infront of him even if the have 300points because they was in it last year, have a think how he got 5000 points infront of the 3000 points person before making that statement ,

Dead right he should.

I'd also go for a rolling 5 year loyalty points scheme. Seems too many people have a shedload of points from years ago who like alot of society think the world owe them something. As I posted earlier in the thread I'd have 1st/2nd year Cup Scheme members

BTW I have no axe to grind and am 'safe' with my points total.

I've not agreed with the cup scheme. Im not in it due to money but have had a season ticket for 30 years. Am I a Jonny come lately? Or does the fact that some one could have seen aguero score 'that' goal, thought "i fancy a bit of that", bought a season ticket and joined the cup scheme. He, after having a season ticket for only one season, jumps in front of the queue of me?

Who's the Jonny come lately? Under the current situation the is absolutely no reward for loyalty.

Just trying to recall is this a thread about who is joining the Cup Scheme next year or the Rights/Wrongs of the Cup Scheme

(see above) the world owes us nothing!! But I have 6,650 points my lad has3,610 didn't join FA cup scheme unemployed@the time ,so couldn't risk£30.00 bank charges if insufficient funds in bank ,incidentally went to every cup match (bar stoke) not moaning will bite the bullet still running a minibus down to wembley&will hopefully get the extra ticket I require for me or my boy,just to put record straight queued up all night for Bristol rovers away many many moons ago b4 our successful yrs were on the horizon&was @layer rd on a Friday night &york city away on our clubs darkest day;-)

The Club will put a limit on the number of people who can be on the Cup Scheme so some people may miss the boat for next season.

I agree that the full houses throughout the cup rounds and cheap ticket prices show the scheme has been a success.

Had you have joined the scheme then you would be miles in front of him. The criteria does reward those on the scheme with the most points first. If u didn't join the scheme and haven't gone to cup games due to cash situation what's your beef?

why didn't you get a ticket yesterday afternoon when it dropped to your kid's points?

 

[SaddleworthBlueRhino]

Yep..... join or get left behind.....as simple as that

Wasn't that clear after the 2011 Cup final allocation? Anybody moaning since then is either a latecomer or just THICK! A few with genuine financial circumstances I have sympathy for but that can be the only reason.
