    Why are you on about cup home games but then league away matches?
    Cant you just attend the 15-20 home matches?

    You might have misunderstood what i meant.


    System A
    • home only = 460
    • home and away games = 920 points
    • with a season ticket it is an extra 120 points on.
    System B
    • just the away games = 460
    but as one system (A or B )is applied to everyone, whoever goes to the most away games would be most likely to get an away ticket anyway. As the vast majority of away fans also attend home matches.

    I would suggest system A is better as it rewards people who go to the most games in general rather than only away games.

    with some examples,

    Season ticket holder attended every home match

    460 + 120 = 580.

    Non season ticket holder goes to 18 home matches and 15 away matches

    360 + 300 = 660.

    We got to the final of the League Cup. This should be a piece of piss. Our name is on the FA Cup. Oh actually it already is...

    Derek Adams is hoping for a 10,000 plus crowd giving the team their full backing. Reading this thread he is going to be disappointed.

    I did intend going but not now, Adams expecting 10,000 so why would you want to be sat in a stand of there choice like sardines in a can 5000 lower tear in the Kop and 5000 in the lower Sumwin, having said that for extra £15 you can sit in leather seats upper Sunwin stand. Sorry City but you have got this wrong should have opened some of the Midland road stand.

    If ticket sales justified opening Midland Road then I’m sure they would but there won’t be anymore than 4-5k there.

    lf ticket sales indicated that the number of tickets sold was approaching the capacity of the sections which were open, l am fairly sure the club would open additional areas of the ground.

    I don’t think we will get anywhere near 10,000, but in the post above, l suggested that the bottom tiers of the two stands would hold over 7,000 perhaps up to 8,000. If the club anticipate a crowd larger than the sections planned to be open, contingency plans need to be in place.

    I agree. Looking at the crowd from the MR on Saturday, I doubt there were more than 10,000 fans in VP for the FGR game despite the 14,000+ 'official' crowd. If there are more than 6,000 for the Exeter game, we'll have done well.

    Well, if Derek is hoping that, there will be 10,000 there because he's never wrong.

    But then the name is wrong.

    Loyalty can't be equated to spending money.

    They should have called it "priority scheme" or something else.

    I remember the Shrewsbury FA cup replay, they did eventually open up the upper tier of the main stand once enough people came in, so I think they would do that again.

    Me again with my usual question. This time I'll just cut to the chase - I'm presuming the game is NOT on ifollow? :)

    As far as I understand it, the game is audio only on ifollow in most countries. However, earlier in this thread, I think, is a link to the countries that haven't paid for the exclusive rights to show the match. I'm working on the theory that if I can 'be' in one of those countries on Saturday afternoon, ifollow might show me the game. We'll see. Or not, I guess.

    I ain't going as off to a pop concert in Leeds. So that's 9,999 attending then :laughing:. Lucky to get 3,500 with 50 away fans boosting the numbers.
