Yes I have clicked the i
I have seen the points allocated for matches on my account before. They are now missing.

 

wonder if anyone else is the same

 

I've copied my QR code and given it to ten friends (well two friends and eight randomers) so I expect 200 loyalty points per match to be coming my way. Plus £100 at £10 per QR code

 

Loyalty points banding for Colchester

And Hartlepool... Points needed gone up

How can it go up soo many points with similar amount of tickets

 

960 points to buy a Colchester ticket
1000 seats (2000 if pushed)
Tuesday night 214 miles away
No wonder we need 1050 points to get a Hartlepool ticket

 

It’s the silly staggering of bands that will cause the problem for groups who usually travel away together.
1 person might have 1050 points but won’t buy a ticket without others so has to wait until everyone can get one.
In reality what will happen is groups will end up with tickets not seated together and on the day will just sit where they want.
I pity the poor folk arriving 1 minute before kickoff clutching their tickets and can’t find a seat.

 

They are currently wandering around Manningham looking like extras from Shaun Of The Dead.

 

Having gone to most away games last year Hartlepool was the only ground that forcibly (tried) to enforce sitting in allocated seat
It was also the only ground where there was any noticeable trouble in the away end

 

Yes it does but now unless everyone who travels together have exactly the same number of points it’s impossible unless they make all away games unreserved seating.
I’ll be getting 2 tickets today and 2 more on Monday and we’ll just sit where we want together.

 

TBH I still don't accept the basic premise behind the scheme. I don't accept that those who are currently in a position to go to lots of away games - ie mostly younger people and/or those with few family commitments, health issues etc - should have priority over others who have supported the club physically and financially for decades, but whose personal circumstances now only allow them to go to occasional away games.

 

I can guarantee that nobody will be sat at Hartlepool, everyone was stood last season, maybe in the general vicinity of their seat.
I am 6'2" and still could not see the goal line at our end.

 

I understand. The club has to start somewhere though.
We can't have the Chelsea scenario where mates of mates are getting tickets ahead of the hardcore.

 

I find it quite amusing that the police have insisted on a 12:00 kick off so the young City fans don't turn up pissed up for the game. The problem last season wasn't that they were pissed up, it was that they were coked up!
