This loyalty, season tickets etc. discussion is going nowhere. Fact is, the club vastly underestimated demand for this game and as a result, on the day it was pot luck as to whether you were going to get a ticket or not. If anyone has by-passed the rules then they can be criticised but let's not make those who got their ticket through normal channels and are going to the match feel guilty by conducting a witch hunt. As always the definition of loyalty can be quite subjective so it is up to the club to make this call.

So a non season ticket holder who goes to EVERY home match and some away games is less deserving of a ticket than a season ticket holder who doesn't bother to turn up for Worthy Cup matches or other similarly unattractive games. I don't think so. The sooner we have a points scheme which adequately reflects all fans' loyalty over the years, the better.

My wonderful daughter came up trumps on the phone for me whilst I was at work this morning, to finally repay the considerable investment I have made in her since she was born. Of course I realise I'm lucky and that there will be many more who feel that they are more deserving. However, as I have said previously, the club should come up with a scheme to fairly assess and reward loyalty and not leave it to pot luck.

This whole ticket situation appears to have been handled badly. Although I agree that those who went all the way to Sofia should be given priority 1. Why on earth has it taken so long to announce something which could have taken a couple of days? 2. Why have those season ticket holders who regularly go to away matches also not been given first chance(I don't count myself in that number as I only go away occasionally)? 3. Why must we accept tickets for an area of the ground with an extremely restricted view? Surely being guests we should be treated as such?. All the relevant information is held on the clubs computers so why can't they come up with a method of assessing loyalty by say allocating points according to the matches attended. or am I suggesting the impossible e.g. Season ticket holder 19 points (one per home game) Non season ticketholder 1 point ( per home game ) Away match attended 2 points Worthy Cup Home 2 points Worthy Cup Away 3 points FA Cup Home 1 point FA Cup Away 2 points UEFA Cup Home 1 point UEFA Cup Away 5 points That way there would be no doubt about which supporters should be given priority. The club could also issue a loyalty card which fans could use to obtain discounts according to their points total. Obviously there would have to be some adjustment from season to season but at least those who support the club through thick and thin would be rewarded.
