I really cant see any advantage in being a STH anymore....

....apart from the discounted prices on attending every match, the guarantee of home cup match tickets. and the knowledge that you are helping the club to survive against the odds and the powers of evil that are trying to destroy the Albion.

I genuinely feel sorry for you that you have missed out on a ticket, but the club have stated the ticket policy in advance, and if you feel it is so unfair, then surely you should have brought it to their attention beforehand.

If the West Ham game had been at Withdean you would have got a ticket.

I have no axe to grind with STH, I do have little time for those who consider themselves superior to others.

The AMS allocation is unfair, as it gives someone who has been to one away game in the last five years the same chance as those who have been to every away game.

However, I am aware that the cost of running a more sophisticated system is prohibitive for a tinpot outfit such as ours, and accept that you have to take the rough with the smooth. Hopefully when Falmer arrives things will improve.

Given a choice between paying (say) £8,000 for Alex Revell, or £8,000 on a better computer system that would increase my chances of getting a WHU ticket, I would always opt for the former.

Nothing however will diminish my support for the Albion, it is too much a part of me, and I would never make threats about withdrawing financial support for the club. But the choice is yours.

Not yet. You mean you don't contribute to the Albion's coffers by seeing them at home...?

Not me, the Theatre of Cocoa is too intimidating for a shy boy such as myself, as well as being 270 miles from home.

I think it was GOD's WILL that I did not get a West Ham ticket, he moves in mysterious ways, a bit like Clive Walker used to do on the wing.

As an example, here's how Liverpool handle things:


How to apply for tickets

para1. I consider myself superior to all STH and AMS.:dunce:

para2. Agreed. I feel regular away fans have been given a bad deal.

para3. I didn't get tickets for Grimsby away and Spurs despite being STH. I went anyway. People like me will always renew (not a super/uber/sober fan) but there are others who won't.

The sad thing here is that Perry's mismanagement has turned us against each other at a time when the Nimby Front are keen to destroy the club.
The other issue is that the fans who turned up for Rounds 1 and 2 and kept their stubs as instructed were ignored.
 


So let me get this straight. There are more people who want to go to this game than there are tickets available, therefore some people will be disappointed. That is unavoidable. The club has tried to get extra tickets, and it has tried to implement a fair ticket policy but some people will always lose out. If that upsets you then it's about time you got a f***ing life. Pathetic. It's one game for gods sake! How many of you were at Doncaster or Port Vale? Although I understand the financial implication of you not re-newing your season tickets, I'm starting to think the club will be better off without you.

To say that the club would be better off without season ticket holders not renewing is a ridiculous thing to say. I do agree that it is only one game (and one I couldn't get excited enough over to bother applying for tickets) but the allocation was f***ed up no matter which way you look at it. The whys and wherefores have been done to the death by now but the club needs to have another look at the way it handles future 'big games'. I hate to think what it would be like if we had a season ticket base like most Premiershite clubs...

You're the one who started banging on about shops, bellend! :dunce:

Which may be why you totally missed the point I am making which is paying for a service be it goods in a shop, a car, a holiday, a train ticket or even a BHAFC season ticket.

But you got the goods, and had a better chance than casual shoppers of getting the 'exclusive' item in the form of a WHU ticket.

You therefore have been given preferential treatment, but not as preferential as you would like.

The penny is finally dropping isn't it, well done.

Slight tweak required those that invest in advance get the preferential treatment and we are there.
 


This is getting tedious.

I'll repeat what I said on another thread.

The priority system was changed after the Spurs game to ensure that MORE SEASON TICKET HOLDERS got to go to future big cup games.

That is what is happening with the West Ham game.

MORE SEASON TICKET HOLDERS ARE GOING TO WEST HAM THAN WENT TO SPURS.
