You missed out by 40 popints but as I showed on another thread. You chose to watch the cup games at home in comfort (your words not mine) this season and even told us about it in various "attendance" threads, along with saying you were happy to pay through the nose should we get to the final.
And?
I chose to watch 'some' of the cup games from my home in respects of my wife giving birth to a new baby, the subsequent commitments that entails.
Which is why I also had to give the semi a swerve (you asked for my points on PM didn't you?)
You appear more pleased, than curious?
In terms of paying through the nose, that is not the issue.
The issue is that any City fans' loyalty over a prolonged period of time should not come down to the odd cup game here and there.
Or superceded by someone on a cup-scheme who probably weren't even aware it was going to afford them a queue jump.
I would wager a large proportion of the cup schemers either can't get to league games or had points well below the criteria.
I never picked up any points in my teens for six years without missing a solitary away game nor the requirement for a season-ticket when the average attendance was below 20,000 less than 20 years ago.
I would wager otherwise - that a large proportion of fans on the cup scheme are regular attendees and have more loyalty points than the 3250 it sold out on this morning.
