    Haha you’ve started another debate now!!
    Should 1x home game accrue the same loyalty points as going to Newport and Swindon. I think you know my answer.
    And yes I know city earn more cash from the home game but that’s not the point

    I can think of a fairly recent cup tie where we expected that to happen, especially when we saw their starting 11. It didn’t but I won’t blame Gervinho for the outcome.

    Well they can never say we got a bye at Stamford bridge as that was very near a full strength 11, as was the Arsenal & Villa teams Arsene Wenger & Paul Lambert brought down to Valley Parade those very memorable Tuesday nights;).

    And didn’t it make it that much more special than if we’d have beat their u23’s

    Absolutely but it’s moved on since then, I’m referring specifically to the early rounds .

    Maybe it should, but not double that of an expensive away trip.

    Simple innit. Spend more that actually goes to bcfc get more points. Spend money that goes to Carlisle or Swindon and in their local economy and get less. Not rocket science and going to away matches rather than a home cup match doesn't make you an uber fan.

    I hear what you’re saying about the benefit of giving BCFC the cash but you’re missing the point of an ‘away priority scheme’

    The priority scheme should award fans who go to the most games, if you raised the points for the away games people would just go to the away matches.


    Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you moaning about the previous priority scheme anyway? Cant please some!

    Yes the away priority card for £30 was ridiculous and didn’t reward fans spending hard earned cash going to away games.
    I’ll stick to my original opinion in that away priority points should only be awarded to those fans who attend away games.
    No point trying to argue. You either agree with me or you don’t. It’s just my opinion but I respect yours

    Our cup form since the Parky years has been pretty dreadful, it's about time we had another little run - I for one love City to be in the limelight a bit. Its crap when the 2nd and 3rd round draws take place and we're not even there. Time for us to show a bit of intent and build the feelgood factor - those who say a cup run gets in the way and league is all that matters need to realise the two run hand in hand

    It's a loyalty scheme not an away priority scheme. The clue is the word loyalty.

    Fair enough, regardless the system ensures the fans who want to go get to go.

    As either way the fans who go to away games will get the most points. unless of course the fan only went to away games which in my opinion is a bit silly.

    Yes you’re right. We’d have to have an epic cup run of home games to amass the same number of points that someone would get by attending 15-20 away games.

    I fancy the hospitality for this game, an extra tenner for pie and chips and a comfy seat sounds good value, much preferable to having my legs crushed in the lower sunwin.
    never done it before, is the whitney suite any good?
