Not school holidays this week in Stockton borough (as i actually had Preston tickets in my basket and then doubled checked with the Mrs) and unfortunately my son has academy commitments Saturday, so no we could not pick up any points this week. We have been to two away games this season, Rotherham, as was over xmas (couldnt get Hudds tickets) and West Brom, and we only made kick off with about 10 minutes to spare, The only none clashing, pts allowable fixtures.You could all pick up points this week in the school holidays v Preston and Leicester. Two games that are medium distance and against very attractive opposition.
What people are asking, is that those that aren't as fortunate as others, get the chance to go to the in-demand games.What people are really asking is they want tickets for when we are playing well and in with a chance of going up, but aren’t prepared to support the team when we aren’t doing well. But still want tickets over those who have followed the team regardless
That is very unfortunate for you. I do sympathise.Not school holidays this week in Stockton borough (as i actually had Preston tickets in my basket and then doubled checked with the Mrs) and unfortunately my son has academy commitments Saturday, so no we could not pick up any points this week.

The assumption that people "can just build up pts" is a fallacy, as it is entirely dependant on peoples circumstances. The OP's suggestion would at least show some compassion to people who fall into this bracket for what ever reason, whilst if done correctly, shouldnt stop those fans that go to most away games still being at the front of the queue.
unfortunate for Michael Debeve and many others which is the point a lot of people are trying to make.That is very unfortunate for you. I do sympathise.
Humpty I don't think you know the circumstances and choices people have made to amass their priority points totals,What people are asking, is that those that aren't as fortunate as others, get the chance to go to the in-demand games.
Such a tory attitude to demand a perk on behalf of your own fortunate circumstances.
No, it benefits fans who attend the most games"It's fair because it benefits me the most".
How very Tory of you.
I would love a ticket in the England end for a few of the huge World Cup/Euros games, but as I haven’t attended an England game before I’m at the back of the queue. It’s just the way it isWhat people are asking, is that those that aren't as fortunate as others, get the chance to go to the in-demand games.

Exactly this! Sure everyone who follows the club all over the country has had to make huge sacrifices to do so. Not sure how anyone can criticise these fans for expecting tickets for a big gameHumpty I don't think you know the circumstances and choices people have made to amass their priority points totals,
It isn't just a case of being lucky, You might miss out on family events or just family time. It could be a decision that impacts on your career even. People miss weddings, all sorts of things. I know I have.
Please do not throw insults around - especially because someone is driving to Preston and Leicester and maybe will be going to QPR and Southampton to support their team. Where is the justification in calling people names because they are watching their team/your team?
Your hypothesis doesnt exist. And has never existed in our history.
Nobody has insulted anyone. If you think it's insulting that a system that rewards the haves at the expense of the have nots is being labelled as Tory then it's the system that you should be insulted by, not the people pointing out that it is a Tory way of doing things.Please do not throw insults around
About that. A little more.Very few go to all away games.
How many away season tickets were issued? 100?
I don't think it's wrong, its the best system available to ensure those who invest the time and money have access to games, as it should be, And as you have demonstrated, if your circumstances allow, you can build up points over two seasons and put yourself into a position whereby you will always be able to get tickets if required.Only missed one away match this season Huddersfield at Christmas due to family commitments.Started last season on 70 points so easy enough games to build points up. Can’t see what’s wrong with the system in place now .
See you all at Preston and Leicester UTB
