    Also my daughter has 20 points now from the last 3 years by just going to cup and the odd league games.

    Never liked the loyalty system ..always held the view it should be first come first served. This is my 49 th season and I'm no more loyal than somebody say in their 5th. All such systems get abused .

    So, do you get loyalty points for buying tickets for home games on a game by game basis?

    plus mate i went with last night, him & his lad are on 3 points (i think ish) they got tickets last night via normal sale route just had to be quick, wasnt sure if hecwas gunna get but managed & made part of his lads xmas box....so it is possible....prob is we have high demand & (good thing) way were headed...this will grow massively beyond supply....practically impossible to have a perfect system

    like those who have said cup home games not league, club make aware before sale

    however...some were buying home cup tickets then just not going...sone games were fiver so thought cracking point purchase...club stopped that & ticket needs to be activated at turnstyle for game or you dont get the point

    Aye, the club nipped that one pretty quickly about having to actually use the ticket to get the point.

    You just use your own ticket to buy an away ticket when the relevant points band becomes available that you are in. Again, use your own ticket to purchase home cup tickets to accumulate points.

    I’m thinking maybe a new system needs introducing
    However people with points would have to start again
    Just like us supporters who travelled in the 70s 80s 90s and so forth
    I’m apparently not loyal supporter

    Points system hasn't been going since back then. When it first started it was a 3 year rolling total but now they haven't been wiped for a good few years. Not sure exactly when but there will be loads on well over 100 points.

    They are on about changing it, to what I've no idea. Years ago there was talk of away season cards for exiles, keeping a few away tickets back for the away card holders, suggestions of points awarded for spend in the club shop etc.

    Them people should get first choice for tickets it’s the new generation there after
    I’ve had my time of away matches
    However I can’t go when I want now cause I have no points
    Nevertheless I still get tickets of someone else’s card for the the less popular games
    My card with no points will not get me a popular away game ticket
    That’s just the way it is
    My history for the club means nowt I’m ok with that

    It's obvious what they should do . . . . each team should give us their 'home' end, with their fans having to move for that one match to accommodate us. Sorted :emoticon-0100-smile

    They probably won't, though :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    They probably never kept any accurate records of people buying tickets like they do now. If they did, I very much doubt anyone has transferred them onto an electronic database to have an accurate history of the last 50 years of ticket sales.

    The biggest issue is the fact that no one has had loyalty points removed as per previous seasons. I used to have over 100 points but lost them all as I stopped going to away games when my children were
