[Albion] FA Cup 4th round priority tickets

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Presumably the ones who can’t be bothered to go to away games to build their points totals then whine when they can’t go to a game with a small away allocation.

Nailed it. Nothing else to add is there?

The most important factor for loyalty points is the length of current season ticket renewals.
Someone with 24 of 25 yearsas a season ticket holder, with a gap in the last 5 years, will have significantly fewer than someone who got their first season ticket in 17/18 and has stuck with it.

Not necessarily. It can be done with away game attendance. One of our group ditched his ST when he went to Uni, is now in his 3rd season since getting a new one and is now backed in T2 for most away games. Simply been doing the hard yards of long-distance away games.

Perfect ta - I’ll study that on my next day off

That's kind of my point - presumably he would have been comfortably Tier 1 if he hadn't given up his season ticket.

Yes, but you can get into T2 and certainly overtake long term STHs pretty quickly even as a new STH if you’re prepared to travel………..

Wouldn't sweat on it. When we get drawn away to Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday or Chelsea, you'll be just fine.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

The reason was they were night games

We went the other way. West Ham over Stoke….
Too near Christmas and things add up….

My understanding is that you will have lost 200 bonus season ticket points this season.
I assume at the beginning of next season, your member points will be halved and added to you season ticket points.

The bonus points piece is open to interpretation, but i took it that you lose the 200 bonus points as it isn't consecutive prior to the current season.

That’s broadly what happened to me.

Was one of the 2,000 at Priestfield, decided on doing 15-20 aways a season during the withdean years as couldn’t stomach withdean, had no issue getting a season ticket at Falmer.

Had some legacy points from my away games but lost My season ticket bonus points in immediately whilst I was in the wilderness for 3 years (kids). This is 4th season back (inc the Covid season) as a STH and currently have 130 points as don’t travel away that often these days.

Probably about right based on my gaps in season ticket

Can’t see why the old fashioned system of collecting vouchers from the programme wouldn’t work?

So according to that document Bozza posted it’s an 8-season “punishment” - so 4 to go before you’re back in the big time

…..or plenty of away games

Through nsc in 2011 I found out what happened on moving to the Amex. It was different scale then.

All new Amex STH’ers got 1,000 points, Withdean STH’ers were given a token 250 points.

I would imagine a reset from the club so that long standing STH’ers didn’t have a huge advantage over all the new supporters as time passed.

412 points. I live and breathe Uncle Tony’s algorithm.

I remember this as I’d given up Withdean season ticket as was playing on Saturdays but still went to 80% of home games that last season I reckon. But didn’t get the 250 bonus points. That said, I’ve never once not got an away ticket to a game I wanted to go to that I can rememeber. Persistence is often the way - or back in the day, knowing the right people..!

The 2,000 that regularly went to Priestfield get first dibs.

That place was the pits.

There should be a special place in the Albion hall of fame for anyone that had a ST for both seasons there, 140 miles for every home game!!!
Probably only about 1k in this category....

This is my 2nd year as a ST holder and I started off from next to nothing points wise. I'm now a point away from Tier 3 having done multiple aways usually in the 10 or 15 points bracket. I suspect catching up with Tier 2s will be more problematic (given the higher tiered STs are likely to attend more) but you can catch up pretty quick if you put in the yards.

Ajax and Palace away (and no doubt Luton) are the only 2 games I couldn't have attended if I wanted to as both sold out at Tier 3. Everything else has dropped to All STHs or below.

I personally think it's a pretty good system that rewards both regular recent attendance and longevity as long as you keep your ST. A lot of other clubs have systems that are nowhere near as good

I'm not planning to attend another match until next season.
