Don't know why this wasn't considered points awarded for less fancied fixtures away and extra points for home cup ties to encourage take up rather than crowds of tourist on mobiles. Well other than while we're winning legacy fans aren't really needed.I disagreed with removal of away points but can understand some of the reasons.
A way forward would be to introduce points for certain match. Lets face it - everyone wants Anfield and OT - but ticket points for Spurs away in the league cup or Southampton/Brighton are justified. I saw no evidence of points hoarders at those matches. So they don't need to be awarded for all matches.
As far as I was aware, and I stand to be corrected on this, for away fixtures where the criteria goes down to match day members, then ticket points are still awarded.I disagreed with removal of away points but can understand some of the reasons.

bring back 5pts for EDS and Youth games
A few filled there boots on that!bring back 5pts for EDS and Youth games
Be good if they did follow the "Same City, Same passion" the club pushed though.And 100 pts. for a ladies match. I wouldn’t go but it would be worth it just to read the reaction.
The only tuly fair way is to ballot every game.
The current system is ridiculously flawed in favour of those who have monopolised tickets for far too long. Now it seems even they are not happy that tourists and corporates are muscling in on their territory.
The fact that there is an approx 25000 points disparity between season ticket holders who have held their seats for the the same period of time is quite frankly embarrassing and a clear sign that something within the system is wrong.
I do understand the practical difficulties of implementing a draw in advance of every away game however how can it be fair that the same people get tickets week on week?
Or does an historic ability to attend games trump fairness??
Nicely swerved. I’ll ask again: should OSC have tickets for those without points? Not loaded, I don’t think they should as it allows people with no/ fewer points to get tickets I / others can’t get. I’m on 22k so if OSC members on fewer points than me hoover up tickets I deem that as unfair. You?Well I only go to the games if the fixture reaches my ticket points so you would be better off asking your loaded questions to somebody else.
BTW did you ever speak out against the attempted bullying of supporters club members over tickets in here. Dead easy to do. The rabble were a bit of embarrassment to be fair
Can you tell me how the secretary does this ?Pretty sure in our branch not that we get many OSC tickets members who get them don't have enough points usually younger end. But secretary orders for those who have enough points so we travel together and sit/stand together.
The loyalty points system was brought in to reward loyal fans who followed the club through dark times.The only tuly fair way is to ballot every game.

Do you mean 30% of the 40% or 30% of the total allocation. I think you mean total allocation which would mean 90% go to points. Are you saying OSC allocation disappears altogether and those members who obtain tickets from their branches would now have to wait until their points bracket is reached? Presume the remaining 10% would be for players, staff, corporate and sponsors.The loyalty points system was brought in to reward loyal fans who followed the club through dark times.
Why do you want to punish those fans yet fail to demand answers from City about the other 40% of tickets that seem to end up in the hands of all and sundry.
We would all be better directing our ire at the club and asking that at least 30% of those tickets are returned to the loyalty points scheme.
Then perhaps you could put 20% of those tickets into a ballot for people who wouldn't get a ticket through not having eno loyalty points

Over the past 2 weeks we've had 4 away games, 3 of which went down to matchday members.The only tuly fair way is to ballot every game.

Got it in one thou when he knows people will qualify he waits until he can buy a group at lower points.Can you tell me how the secretary does this ?
Are you saying he purchases on each window, when the supporters qualify through the loyalty scheme.
In which case I understand.
