    I don't think any priority ticket card holder has said otherwise, many bought one so they had a chance of tickets where the away support is very limited, you really do have a problem with us "chancers" don't you, I wonder what you'll have to bitch about when away travel is based on the points system.

    He will find something, don't worry about that. We may actually still need some sort of priority system anyway due to the fact that the majority of the present priority members will be at the top of any points based system.

    Apologies if I’ve missed it, but has there been any actual confirmation that the away priority scheme will be scrapped completely from next season, or is the points system just another ‘as well as’ so to speak?

    I was aware of that, but I'm not sure if it has been well publicised at our end.

    Nevertheless, given our poor season, plus travel issues over the bank holiday weekend (e.g. west coast main line closed), it seems not many of our supporters are interested in making the trip down.

    The extra capacity that was due to be in place, by this match, seems not to have happened (not that it would have been needed). I assume the new terracing has been delayed.

    We had a problem getting steels for the stand. Work should have been completed months ago!

    That's a standard thing for City. They always say that and then those that haven't been sold by City are sent down on the players coach and sold on the day!!!

    Yes I have a problem with ‘chancers’ who abuse the principle of what the priority card should be used for and in circumstances where tickets are limited would happily take their ticket and prevent someone who travels regularly from getting one.
    Why would I moan about a points based loyalty scheme if it benefits the fans who actually travel? It’s what we should have had years ago.

    Why would we need a priority system beyond the points based one? It’s a simple concept to understand really. If you’ve been to lots of away games this season you’ll have more points than others and will be guaranteed a ticket when demand is high. Once the priority purchase period is over, any remaining tickets first go on sale to season ticket holders and then general sale like it does now. It’s not rocket science

    If those who travel regularly don't take out insurance ie a priority ticket that is their own fault every City fan had the same chance before the start of the season, next you'll be arguing if the club had rationed the priority tickets to the first 1,000 City fans it should have been based on the away games they have attended the previous season.
    I've followed Bradford City home and away for well over 60 years because of various reasons I have not traveled as much as I used to, so that counts nothing in your world.

    Agreed, the only reason I’ve been to so many is to accrue the points for next season.

    I agree, you’re right that the only reason anyone could complain is if they tried to buy a priority card but couldn’t.

    I don't know whether to read that in Yoda's voice, or in Furio from Soprano's voice :laughing:

    But yeah, not a good post.

    If we don't win tomorrow, we'll need to beat Scunthorpe to avoid the worst finish since '66.
