United Away Sold Out

[jrb]

sounds too complicated. i say award the points after the game, and have it based on price, distance from manchester, and the result.

e.g. when we got hammered by tottenham last season it was freezing, midweek before xmas, tickets were a fortune and there was only a couple of hundred there, we only got 20 points for it iirc, however under another system we would get 50 points. so,

10 points for any away game
+10 if we get beat
+10 if it's over 50 miles from manchester
+20 if it's abroad


so an away win at wigan would only get you 10 points, whereas if you made the effort to go watch city get stuffed in santander you would get 50.

In theory.


Felix. It can all be done via the data base. All the details are alreay held on the system. Wouldn't be anymore trouble for City. Just some new software and that's it.

In theory. Needs tinkering. Imagine a large cricle with smaller inner circles covering the whole of the contry.

The circle. (centre point COMS)

Gtr Manchester 5pts.

The North. ( North West, Yorkshire, etc) 10 pts.

The Midlands. (Midlands/North East, etc) 15pts.

London / South Wales / East Anglia, etc. 20 pts.

The South /South West, etc 25 pts.

The same formula could apply to cup matches. Basically the further you're prepared to travel to watch City, the more away/loyalty points you get. You've made the effort.

With far away games not selling out, those behind on loyalty points, and who can attend a few of these far away matches, will get a chance to catch up. well?

What about all them what can't be arsed to turn up for home europa f.a and league cup games is it 50 pts off.

The simple way is stop OSC getting tickets and taking the piss out of the system. If your part of an OSC use it for meeting City fans from various parts of the country and using a coach system to get to games but leave the ticket allocation to just loyalty points and not loyalty points plus OSC membership first. PURE PISS TAKE

No. They just miss out on the cup points allocated. Which means they miss out on a cup final ticket, even though they have plenty of PL points.

Those fans traveling from far away and during the week, will get more points than Manchester based fans, as they've made the effort. This system I'm thinking about is based on rewarding fans who make the effort to attend matches, no matter where they live in the country.

It's good but does loyalty solely depend upon distance travelled?

You could have a millionaire travelling 1st class from London compared to a lad on minimum wage hitch-hiking to Eastlands from Yorkshire. Who should get more loyalty points?

It should at £1.30/litre, and I hope the hitch-hiker is paying somat to the cost of the petrol ;o)

The point is you can make the system as complex as possible, but the bottom line is that the system works, the vast majority don't abuse it, and it only ever gets moaned about when the OT derby allocation sells out.

I'd make one change, at the start of each new season I'd drop all 50% of the points earned in seasons more than 10 years ago, this would allow younger supporters to catch up, without burdening those older supporters who now have more commitments like family and mortgage etc, and so can't go as often.

As a MOD and a OSC member you have been honest. I hope when you know how many from your supporters club have gone to the game without the right amount of points you will come on here and admit it

It could still be abused sadly. The current system basically works, no need to change a system that isn't broke.

We got 8 tickets, and all have enough points as far as I know. We could probably have got 12 at the point it sold out.

I can see the logic in this points for away following just struggle with the financial side 5pts for home games cos i live in Manchester from which city get all the money 50 pts when i go to London city get nothing from don't seem right to me seems more disloyal than loyal.
