Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

In my dream we were going to visit a place that time had forgotten about, so yes it could have been Liverpool.

 

Fewer.

See, Cat 1 posting right there.

 

Newcastle must run it close.

I'll accept your abbreviation. but it still needs to capital C.

 

Leicester 'no bants' dude needs to read posts like this and take notes

 

Chelsea ticket bought

 

Only if I ever get a frontal lobotomy to converse with you at the same level ..

 

How do you get away tickets for Liverpool?

I've just started going to more Arsenal games finally. It looks like you can only get an away Arsenal ticket if you have enough away points. And you can only get an away point by going to an away game. Seems like an impossible situation.

 

Are you a member? ...(your postings suggest you are ) ... members can usually apply for away tickets too ... but precedence will always go to season ticket holders ... used to be that way, at least ...

 

You need 25 away points to even get onto rung one of buying a Leicester away ticket. So to be able to get to your first away ticket, you must have been to at least 25 away games already. Just impossible. I suppose at least it ensures only the absolute hardcore always get the away tickets week after week.

Liverpool clearly hand them out like confetti to, even to cat 3 fans.

 

That causes a lot of arguments, season ticket holders being given priority on away tickets. I tend to find away fans are the more loyal bunch, they make a lot of noise when they travel, more than their own home fans, and they are more hardened to poor results, less fickle.

The problem I see with ST's getting priority, a lot of ST's pick and choose their away games, the more local (derby) or glamourous ties. Whereas away fans will go to every away game, but may not have the means to outlay an ST cost all at once.

I use to enjoy the away games more than the home games, too many fairweather fans.

I accept some ST's go to a fair amount of away games, but I still think it should be done on points, rather than just being a STHolder. How do you build up the away points, start by going to **** less glamourous games that others are not interested in.

 

Do you get points for going to away cup games, ie Exeter on a November Tuesday night lol.

 

You could just do what Sucky does ... he moves his armchair to the other end of the room for away games

 

No idea, domestic cups are dead to me because we don't win them

 

Liverpool? I'm a Saints fan mate hence the Championship avatar.

We do a points system as well but obviously it's nowhere as difficult as it is for the big clubs although it's becoming harder by the season seemingly.

Well I say points system it's just a count of recent aways and it resets to current season each Christmas time. Which is good as it prevents the closed shop you see elsewhere.

 

Oh, if you don't support Liverpool then you can move to cat 1

 

I think it's right STH's get priority tbh as they're generally putting the most money into the club. It's a listed benefit with us. One thing we've never done which I don't like is count members away games which never sat right with me that a member with 0 away games got same chances as a member with 4.

You're right though about going to unfashionable games and putting the miles in to get the rewards. I'm looking forward to next season when there'll be a load of fans moaning about not being able to get Fratton tickets who couldn't be arsed following us this season while we were setting a record low points total.

 

You ought to try driving from down South to Tranmere on a Friday night for a ****te L2 game, then you wonder why you can't get tickets, you answered your own question really.
