I can see why they've not bothered setting up a loyalty system - how many away games do we sell out? 1 or 2 a season at most.

(Did we even sell out for Mansfield? I'm sure there was some empty seats near me? (although I do smell a bit))

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.


Well speaking as someone who attends many more away games than home games, it is relevant. Relevant to the club's finances. I'm still going to go to the away games I can get to. Most ticket only away games I can get a ticket through being a Trust member.

Simplicity can be preserved by giving everyone an account. Quote your number/swipe your card every time you buy S/T, merchandise, home tickets, away tickets bought through GTFC. The more the ££ the more points you get. As that irritating Russian rodent says: Simples.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Main problem for me is the 4 to 1 ratio. In theory 75% can be people who don't attend regularly.

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.


In a nutshell.

Who's to say they don't attend regularly? they may go to a lot of home games but take advantage of a friend/family member having a ST to secure a ticket or guarantee being sat together.

Although I do think 2:1 is plenty.

More importantly, I would actually like to sit in a seat at Donny but I guess that because most will want to stand I will find myself standing as well so I can see. I don't suppose there is any way round this.

Depends, if we lose a couple of games, which is perfectly possible there will a few knocked off but if we win our next few games we will be right up there as we will have beaten teams around us.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
