Would be better awarding points for spending money with GTFC.


That's obviously something people want to see but it's not relevant to away games. Clubs who have loyalty schemes don't think 'oh he's never gone to an away game but bought a replica shirt', its about rewarding people who go to multiple away games. By logging away games attended it rewards people who attend away games regularly, making people more likely to go to whatever games they can and be the 12th man that makes a difference. Otherwise it becomes a mess of varying factors. Reward ST/MT with points, and in addition to that add points per away game attended. Simple.

4 tkts per season tkt ? As others have said ,why should 3 possibly once or twice per season  attendees ? Be able to jump in front of Trust members and stub holders .
Also been said but I don't see us selling out anyway .

Our usual group have 3 STs between us so not a prob for us , in my opinion 2 tkts per holder is fairer .

Right I'm off to Devon ! UTM

I'm sure if people asked nicely, there will be STH who won't be buying their full allowance who would be happy to assist non STH in securing a ticket.

How about an 'away' season ticket. You pay say £20 - £25 at the beginning of the season.
You then get first dibs on away tickets. That money would go to Our club.  The exiles would be contributing a few quid and get a chance to get to Mansfield, Notts County and the like.

On this particular occasion I think it should be two per season ticket holder as opposed to four.
I have a sneaky suspicion the club have said four to make non ST holders go to the Carlisle match as they worry there may not be Donny tickets left !!  Myself, I believe that all fans that want a ticket will get one 😄


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I honestly can not see what the panic is. Many season ticket holders never go to away games ,includiing my old man and his friends all in their 80's, it's boxing day times have changed and quite a few of us have to work. The other question is when was the last time we took 3k plus away in the league?

Its not Boxing Day


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Not unless they've moved Boxing Day forward a week or so this year.

I don't think there is a panic. Just a few folk wondering why we need to make a faff out of something that ought to be fairly simple.

That's all I was trying to say in post two which sparked this debate that went off in tangents. For some it will be really easy and have plenty of time to get as many tickets as they want. Others will have much less time to get them and more hassle. Just thought the timings could have been evened out a bit to make it easier all round rather creating a rush for some and also the club in the final week when we've got more than three weeks to sell them. No real qualms about the pecking order, Trust apart. I actually think we've got a chance of selling the full allocation and may need a few more. 2.3k to Notts County which was not looked forward to as eagerly as Donny. I think everyone who wants a ticket will get one, no panic, but as Chaos says the club always seem to make a faff out of these things for some people.
