Site Supporter desperado Posted May 10, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2023 11 minutes ago, Arrested development said: Loyalty scheme is a load of bollocks. People who have been watching wanderers for 30 odd years could potentially be less loyal than some teenagers who have been to some aways that season. Some games have less allocation and higher demand. If you get a ticket, great , if you don't you dont. No need to be putting people on loyalty pedestals. There is we’re in this league again. We can’t have what happened at Accrington, Morecambe, Fleetwood, Bristol and what’s going to happen at Barnsley going on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be going soft but am sure Sharon would want a fair system in place, what is clear from comments on here defining fair is not straightforward.

radcliffe white Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Correct Zico and this is an example of how many others operate including L2 sides too is it that hard to roll out? back in 2001 you had to send vouchers from previous selected away games in by post to get away tickets, you look back and bit of pissing about but it was fair & worked Edited May 11, 2023 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure you’re right about that. There’s regular comments from the hierarchy, Evatt the loudest, about how fantastic the fans have been after away games. They are valued - so look after them.

peebles Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Has to be done, these 10am stampedes are crazy. Id sell Barnsley away old school, in person 1 each Sun morning. Those who really want them will get sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brand new season ticket holder, who bought a kids season ticket and has never been to a home game, could get a ticket ahead of someone who has attended loads of home and aways this season.

gonzo Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Totally wank for me. Work most Saturdays so my chances of an away day are limited to 2-3 a season. Think I've only Vale and Fleetwood this season the latter was in the home end. But it is what it is. Radcliffe, Baked and likes put the hard yards in. Their chance of a ticket should never be in jeopardy. Its the right thing to do. It's gonna create some jiggery pokery with fans lending eachother client refs with point on etc that's for certain. ....my CR is free to use for 90% of aways next season if anyone wants it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Horwich Posted May 11, 2023 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2023 A bit of notice for when they are going on sale would also be nice. Do we think Barnsley A will be on sale in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
