    Well, that would be daft wouldn't it? Speaking as a member of Shipley bantams I am very happy that any surplus our group makes goes to support the club with things like sponsorship, equipment and also to local charities. At our last event we were able to make donations of £1000 each to Manorlands Hospice and the Bosom Friends charity based at the BRI. Happy with that.
    It requires a great deal of effort from those who organise it.

    I buy one. With our season ticket price being so low. I just think its an extention to my home ticket.
    £ 175 all in.
    An absolute bargain really (although sometimes last season I wish my seat was facing away from the pitch!)

    In other words "I travel with a supporters group and I should get special priority over the people that travel in cars"


    What a load of bollocks!

    Only one match needs citing in opposition to your argument. Chelsea away.
    Anyone with a Priority Away ticket got to go. Many without didn't.
    The best live football experience of my life (better even than Villa away or West Ham beating Arsenal in the FA Cup Final 1980) made possible by a meagre outlay on a priority away ticket.
    You just never know what may be around the corner.

    The club's charge do they not?

    Why, if I get to every away game under my own steam should I have to pay for a service I wouldn't ever use just to increase my chances of getting a ticket to the same level of those that travel by coach?

    It's absolute nonsense!

    Everyone that buys these tickets should be numbered in order and get first priority on the first batch of tickets.

    Loyalty systems work perfectly well at far bigger clubs than us who actually sell out games more than 30 mile away, or big cup games. It’ll work fine.

    As for volunteering for points, ridiculous idea. It’s a private company, Rupp pays the likes of Paula Watson well to make sure everything like cleanliness is up to standard. Simply put if the job isn’t done right, sack those responsible and get people in who’ll do the job up to standard, as with any other private company.

    TBF I actually think those supporter groups that organise away trips should have some sort of priority dibs seeing as they are going to some lengths to get supporters to away games.

    I’m sorry mate but you’re wrong.
    The priority scheme is a must to ensure fans who do traipse up and down the country don’t have to stress about getting a ticket for the likes of Villa, Chelsea, Burton, Fleetwood or indeed any other high profile game when they come along.
    I remember back in 1999 I knew someone who’d been to almost every away game for the previous 10 seasons but couldn’t get a ticket for the Newcastle FA Cup game. How’s that fair?

    Also remember both Fleetwood and burton in play offs, limited numbers for those didn't go down well. Better safe than sorry.

    If there’s only 1000 tickets for a match and 2000 priority have been sold I would guess that only 500 would be available to buy once the supporters clubs and club officials have had their share.
    This happened for sure with the Fleetwood play off game coz I saw @cibasteve@cibasteve rocking up at 9am to collect his golden envelope filled with a coach load of tickets

    Hopefully they’ve been sensible and capped it at 1000

    Only fair way to do it. The fans who follow every week should get first dibs on ticket sales. I would have gone for a priority ticket but most of the away games this season don't really excite me.

    Bollocks to helping multimillionaire Rupp save a few quid so I can get a free priority ticket to guarantee my place at Stevenage away.

    Don’t accept the mediocrity of dirty seats, terrible toilets and poor ale. You wouldn’t in McDonalds or Tesco, don’t let Rupp and Rhodes off the hook.

    I'd rather give my time to a local junior club, there are clubs at grass roots level crying out for help.

    This is spot on, we're talking about a business with a turnover in seven figures, not your local amateur set up where a few parents give their valuable time and in a lot of cases money to give kids the pleasure of playing football.

    Are we even at a point where we need to worry about a points system for tickets?

    Probably in the future but not now. And how does it work when a lot go pay on the gate in these leagues? How do fans get the points then ?

    Away day priority should be enough. Restricted to one per priority member for first part of sales and then open it out to the rest.

    None of this bollocks about supporters clubs getting first dibs. Get your members to buy a priority if they want tickets.
