Because most clubs operate some form of points based system, the regulars from when the system was initially set up always get first refusal on tickets, as they have the most points. By buying away tickets (which is not the same as attending the match) this initial advantage is reinforced over a...

Are you referring to a small club such as Crystal Palace?

Agree with you, and I don't have an issue with how the points are allocated, no system is perfect. The benefits of being a 1901'er appear to be skewed, if I understand the system correctly, at the start of the season, where their 'bonus' loyalty points given for being a 1901'er carry greater...

I think few people would complain about those circumstances. The use of 'loyalty' points is an emotive one, and perhaps the club should change the wording of the scheme. A wealthy fan who can afford to put down a five year commitment to a 1901 isn't necessarily more loyal than a single parent...

You're being very modest. At the Mods' karaoke party your version of 'This Ole' House' by Shakin' Stevens had the crowd in raptures.

I suspect we might if it's one of the first away games of the season and have spent £60-70 million on new players.

I'll post you a half and half scarf :)

They won't! No system is perfect, it's impossible to get an away ticket for quite a few clubs in the PL, United being one of them, as the alllocation is very much a closed shop, so we will be some of the lucky ones who do get the opportunity to see a fair few away games.

For a lot of people it's perfectly understandable wanting to see the Albion at OT. Many will be too young to remember the last time we played there in the league (March 1983, 1-1 draw, about 400 Albion in the away end) or cup (1993?). It will be interesting where the away fans are allocated in...

It will certainly be in demand, possibly other factors, such as the kick off time (Monday at 8pm won't be as attractive as Saturday at 3pm I suspect) will come into play too, as well as the time in the season. Initially I would be surprised if any away match didn't sell out, even if the first...

That would work if the matches at OT, Anfield etc are March,April, May in 2018. If those are the first three away games those who go away all the time would not have enough points to take precedence over 1901'ers...I think.

When we are 8 points adrift come January there will be no problem getting away tickets.
