    The main reason for the loyalty points is that the more that members rack up the better the chance they will be able to buy a Priority Away ticket next season (I can't imagine the club giving up a potential income stream of £30,000)

    Surely the fans who rack up the most points should not be expected to purchase Priority card, isn't that the reason why Loyalty points were brought in.
    I would think the Priority card scheme will stop, but as you say a nice little earner for the club with little outlay by the club.

    I must say I find it very strange that supporters who spend hundreds of pounds on away tickets and travel resent supporting the club with an extra £30 on top of the ridiculously cheap season tickets to purchase a priority away ticket
    Perhaps the ones who shout loudest are the ones who will only travel to Harrogate and are concerned that they might not get a ticket

    I think the away priority scheme will stay, but for some away games it will go something like:

    First round of ticket sales - minimum x points
    Second round - minimum y points
    etc..

    However the whole thing is pretty pointless because except for perhaps Harrogate and maybe Salford, tickets are always become available to non-priority fans.

    I think in League One the scheme would be put to better use.

    I reckon once they realise the loyalty point system is flawed they will scrap it.

    In what way is it flawed, seems simple enough those attending most games generate most Loyalty points which will be to their benefit next season.

    T & A article claiming Angol jokingly calls Robinson 'Fifi' now because of his headband, great to hear we have at long last a bit of character in the dressing room..

    I’d go along with that. The 1000 fans with the highest total have the opportunity to buy the priority pass. The points totals are put to zero at the start of each season meaning priority card holders would need to keep up their attendance over the season in order to be able to renew the following season.

    I wonder what the exact figure is for fans who actually attend all games in a season? (mad bastards they are) 100-150?

    Doubt it's more than that.

    The club will be a scrapping the loyalty scheme next year for away days anyway when the fourth covid booster arrives.

    four jabs and you get priority, then those with three. Tough luck on the antivaxxers!

    Does Threlkeld deserve to keep his place or is it time to give the place back to FCD? We've been weak in this area and but I wouldn't be too disappointed to see Finn regain the spot. I'm assuming Foulds will drop back to the bench now Ridealgh is fit again though.

    I agree he's one of our own kids and IMO did little wrong to be dropped to accomadate Threlkeld.

    I thought Foulds and Ridehalgh were quite good on Saturday to be honest. Maybe keep them both on and how how Foulds handles staying on the right!
