I think you're probably right in that recency bias is probably the "least unfair" way of doing things, and that is why my proposal still gives recent attendees the far better chance of getting a ticket. What concerns me is that it alienates those who have been there in the past but aren't so...

I don't want to appear rude, but this is the third time you've replied to my posts to tell me I've said things I clearly haven't. First, you told me that the fact it isn't a closed shop is "a flaw in my proposal". Even if that is true that it isn't a closed shop, that isn't a flaw in my...

The biggest games would be Dublin (say, 13k), Wembley (38k) and Europe (5k at a big stadium). With three ballot chances (one with a 1 in 3 chance, one with a 1 in 6 chance), the chances of a ticket for a such a person would be about 100 times better than someone who goes 5 times a season. The...

No, the change wasn't embarrassing. Your conduct was embarrassing. I've already given the reasons why I don't like the current system. It disregards everybody who isn't a current STH; that's those who are unable to be a STH or get to many games for whatever reason. I'm not even saying that...

Have you actually read any of what I wrote? Because at no point am I saying that.

I do of course see it differently from a modern day STH, because that's not me. I go from time to time. I'd go every week and be a STH if any of my immediate family was remotely interested, but they're not. :shrug: Regardless, I don't really think you're in any position to lecture others...

If you want to argue the "closed shop thing is demonstrably false", then that's up to you, but I'm not convinced at all. Let's just agree that it's not entirely sealed, but the seepage takes at least two full seasons. There are people who have followed this club, been STHs at 3 different...

I don't want to derail this thread so I'll answer your question and then I'm out (as there are better threads for this discussion). Personally, I'd make it several ballots. Let's assume we have an allocation of 3,000 somewhere, I'd do something like this: 1,000 open to a ballot for people...

The whole points thing is flawed as it stands IMO. It just cannibalises support as it's a bit of a closed shop. Regardless, I've got my ticket for this one now so I'm alright for now.
