You need to think about this. It’s not about penalising those who have done the hard yards. No one can catch up with those with more points so it’s become a closed shop. How is that fair? What’s more the pool of available tickets gets smaller and smaller.
1 It's not about penalising people who have done the hard yards,yet you want to scrap the system .
2, No one can catch up and it has become a closed shop?
It's become a closed shop because the loyalty points were scrapped at the behest of the City matters group.
3, The pot of available tickets gets smaller?
And that in a nutshell is your problem.
Here's a radical suggestion that I have thought about, put the 3000 tickets that they normally get for an away match, through the loyalty points scheme .
I would guarantee you that if they did,it would be selling out at circa 10000 points rather than the 21000 at present.
Out of the above allocation, put 15% aside for juniors and 18/25.
Put another 10% into a ballot for people under 10000 points.
It's not the points system that's wrong, It's the way that the club is abusing the allocation of tickets that is wrong.
Go and ask the club what they are doing with the 50% of tickets that regularly disappear for away matches, unless it is a night match or a difficult place to get too when mysteriously up to 70% of tickets go onsale through the loyalty points scheme,because the hospitality clientele aren't interested.
Best atmosphere at away grounds this season, Luton,Newcastle,Everton and Tottenham, as you say think about it,what was the difference at those grounds, compared to the games at Anfield and Old Trafford.
