Nowt wrong with giving pedal 4 pound riders priority on the Blackpool game, they have helped to raise half a million pound for the club since the KIU campaign was launched It over complicates things.... as few priority levels and groups as possible works best. What next, do folk who have supported the Town Foundation get priority. What about presentation of a match programme from the Wembley Wizards vs All Stars game?

You will all be pleased to hear I am giving up something about Eagles and Turkeys Please tell me its not to dedicate more of your time to campaigning for the club to introduce a European Kit, for us to wear in any future Champions League fixtures. "Very good " I have actually seen Town in a European competition ( ask sherbet if he knows which one?) and had the pleasure of going to old Trafford and Liverpool Etc for two seasons though I might just start a thread on the colour of the kit we should wear in the Champions League.

This is my last attempt as it appears no one understands how the points system works (sorry if you do) Season ticket holders get the most points for buying the ticket BW foundation holders get an agreed amount of points Fans then attending away games get points for each game Fans without a season ticket attending home gates get points Away tickets like Rotherham are set at a level normally just above the point allocation for a season ticket holder for tier 1 Then the remainder of the tier levels are set and a BW foundation member who goes to lots of away games can get up the ladder How is this unfair or wrong??? We all understand how a points system works, what we can't understand is why you insist on wanting to changing the whole system because we've sold out two away games this season and unlikely to fill anymore. Both Rotherham and Fulham are relatively small away ends by championship standards. And there were plenty of empty seats at Fulham.

or maybe just a pie for the 'hard of understanding' that cant see/accept that the investors in the club deserve first go at the one/two away games in the league that we might/eventually have sold out for..... The problem with this thread is that is enabled people to reach smug dickhead on a forum level where they think their opinion is not only objectively correct in every way, but that any alternative is completely wrong and that anyone differing in opinion is 'hard of understanding'. Can't you see/accept that people have a differing opinion on what would be a fair allocation of away tickets and are perfectly entitled to debate with those that disagree without being smugly and sarcastically put down by posters like you. The fact is that EVERY English club in the country that deals with the problem of over subscription for away tickets has in place a system whereby alongside first dibs for corporate customers (which we could alter to BWF/Patrons/Charity partakers) there's also availability for those who've continually shown their loyalty by following the club away - these are away tickets after all. Loyalty isn't a byword word for financial contribution, although it now seems accepted as that. There is an option to accommodate both sets of fans, who other clubs see both deserve to be given first priority. We are the odd one out, not the majority with our system, whether that makes it wrong or right or fair or unfair is up for debate, but it would also mean that every other club who've had a different system for over 20 years is 'hard of understanding', and can't 'see/accept' what is, ultimately, just your opinion. FWIW I don't have a SC never a patron or BWF and don't attend many away games so I have no bias - but I have an ability to put my point or appreciate other's without being condescding.

Can still get a ticket in the away end for Liverpool at Old Trafford this weekend but can't get one for Rotherham away, with them going for silly money online - we've reached the promise land lads, soak it up.

Smithfield..
I am not smug.. the dickhead is debateable, as is most things on this forum..
people who want things 'as they should be' whilst totally ignoring things 'as they are' are most probably dickheads..
arguing over points that are not actually worth arguing for is another sign of the 'dickhead'..
town don't need a 'points system' for these mythical away fans for these mythical away games where we 'sell out' in five minutes.
The club , quite rightly, values me as a season card/b&w foundation member more highly than you who is neither. Its immaterial that I have followed Town for 40 odd years and paid a large sum over that time, home and away. I pay now, I pay before the season starts and wether my 5 seats are filled or not Dean has that money to spend, no promises or shouting 'look at me im very drunk away at Fulham'..
Get a grip, come into the real world, its tough but you will get used to it..

FWIW I don't have a SC never a patron or BWF and don't attend many away games so I have no bias - but I have an ability to put my point or appreciate other's without being condescding. As another who is unlikely to ever be affected by the tiered policy of the club, I feel I too can be objective on this topic. All the ideas listed on here by most people have some merit and the club HAS to select one policy and whatever the policy it will benefit some and others will feel mistreated by it. There is no happy medium, no perfect policy. It is patently clear that if anyone doesn't want to miss out on any away ticket, then the simple way to do that is to be a season card holder AND also a member of the BWF. The patrons have a lower standing with regards to the current policy so if you are a member of the patrons and not the BWF then it may be more prudent to 'change' organisations if you want to ensure an away ticket and can't afford the extra expense. In the case of a plus one then it is clear that on the smaller away allocations then they will slot into their relative tier and IMO that is only fair. In this case, all the arguments were hypothetical because there were tickets available on the lowest tier of general sale, debate should always be encouraged and generally it was civil without ranting.

Get a grip, come into the real world, its tough but you will get used to it.. So what you've done is exactly what I said, which is state your opinion on this discussion but then somehow delude yourself into think that it's not just your opinion, but some objective fact of how things should be. If you think being a ST holder and BWF member means you deserve higher priority on away tickets over a ST ticket holder who has been to every away match previously then that's absolutely fine, lots of others do. But the moment you make the mistake of thinking that your opinion is the only proper one; and people who disagree or think another method might be fairer to all are wrong, don't live in the real world, can't understand/see, or are hard of understanding, well then you come off sounding like a smug dickhead. Anyhows, no need to fall out eh. I'll just keep shouting 'look at me I'm very drunk away at Fulham' - whatever that means.

All this debate, when all Town ever do in front of a big away following is f*** it up. I'll be at home investing my £23 + £1 booking fee saved on the big race at Kempton Park

Smithfield;; its the only 'proper' opinion because its one that the club shares. not sure how 'proper' opinion is ever formed then. I have missed one away game this season, leeds united on financial grounds. I wont pay what they demand. I will pay what Town do. Town is a business, if the business fails we don't have a team to 'support'.. 'fairer to all' its a business, they would rather have my 5 season card seats empty than work on the promise that a couple of walk up fans might turn up if they reduce the price a bit. similarly they will give me priority to buy tickets to big games at home, outside league matches and to the away games, I choose to go to. That's how Town do it and 8/9 thousand people seem to agree, democracy. We clearly don't have that many 'away' supporters or we would have this argument every other week. catering for a few isn't an option, financially or in common sense terms..

There were some Hull fans on the same train to Peterborough yesterday. I overheard one of them saying that his mate sold his playoff ticket two years ago, outside Wembley for £500, and watched the match in the pub instead. Now there's a dilemma for a Yorkshireman. What would your limit be, before you said, "Bollocks, it's yours"/

The main town centre pubs will mainly be Rotherham only. However, there is a cracking pub opposite the train station called 'The Bridge' has home and away, but mainly away. Landlord is a Barnsley fan i think, they have scarves and other memorabilia from loads of different clubs on the walls and ceiling. They also have the biggest and best urinals i have ever seen. Not just because of the urinals but the good range of beer i think this will be the best place to go pre-match.
