As I've explained, even this season there's the opportunity to earn around a dozen loyalty points. No system is totally fair, and there's always some people out there who will abuse it, but the current way of rewarding the fans who spend the most time and money travelling the length of the Country is still the fairest. You've been to one away game. One of our more local ones with a Saturday 3pm kick off and therefore you have one point. That shouldn't give you priority over someone who travels week in week out, doing the likes of Norwich away on a Wednesday night etc. Noticeably these complaints have only came about this season which begs the question, why didn't these moaners pipe up about it last season or the one before that? The answer is that they didn't bother going back then because we weren't winning. If they had done they would have quite a few loyalty points behind them now. I've been whinging about this for years! Last season when Man City went to members I bought a £30 membership on top of the £40+ quid ticket especially to go see us get embarrassed by Aguero and to my dismay, because I wasn't a ST holder last season, I didn't even get points for that. How is that fair!? Technically there's nothing to stop you buying a ticket for every game that goes to zero and if you don't attend, selling it on to family, friends, friends of friends etc. Fair enough we don't really want to be encouraging that, but if you feel you are somehow being stitched-up by an unfair system, maybe you need to play the game? FWIW, I don't think the number of fans is that buy a ticket for every game but don't go to that many is particularly high. I don't think it's high either. Once someone gets 100+ points they are more or less guaranteed a ticket so there's no need to apply just to build up points. The only gain is to do someone a favour by getting them a ticket. I went to Benfica a few years ago and the only way I got a ticket was through a friend of a friend of a friend with over 100 points. A lad from my work is going to Brighton away, already booked flights as he knows someone with over 100 points. I believe it happens alot.

I suspect people will be doing this. Unfortunately I don't know people that I could do this and sell an odd ticket too

Under the latter years under pardew I rarely even celebrated our goals, even when I was in the ground, I was that disillusioned with nufc. This year is different, I bought my first ST in years when Rafa announced he was staying. Reason being, I also wasn't his biggest fan in the past, I always thought he was abit arrogant- But I totally trust him in that there was no way he'd stay here unless he had concrete assurances on the workings of the club. Still hate ashley, will take alot of time (and success) to forgive what he's done to this club (repeatedly) but for now I'm trying to stay optimistic and I'm celebrating goals again! I also love singing Rafa Benitez!

There's a set of fans with well over 100 points that buy a ticket every game, and if they don't attend sell on to family, friends, friends of friends etc. It means unless I go to all the midweek away games this year, which personally I find very hard to make because of work commitments, I am going to find it very hard to accumulate points (I have 1 point, I went to Preston away which was on a sat but had a huge allocation) I don't think it's fair at all.

anyone reckon benitez and mitro don't have a good relationship at the min?

Unreal match, one of the best I've been to. There was alot of people who would have missed the comeback however the masses of people in the walkways seemed to make the celebrations even more wild. Thought I was gonna have a heart attack. So so good. Btw mitro has to start with gayle from now on. Also Dummet could do with a spell out, the fans crucify him and he barely has the confidence/ability to pass a ball

He's miles better than anita like, when he wants to be. Must replace

Anyone know if Shearers/nine show away games that aren't on tele?

Woud have thought De Jong would get it if he stays.. He obviously did something right at Ajax

Jajajaja

It says on nufc.com: "Punts: Paddy Power have provided us with a 7/1 enhanced on a home victory for new sign-ups" Anyone know how to get this?

Slightly off topic but does anyone know where I could buy a french 2012 home top? I loved that top and need a new blue footy shirt! Not having much luck finding one

ha! tbh, especially after that game, I really really hope I'm completely wrong

Always been a huge fan and defender of HBA, however wouldn't have him back. I think he's been given a few chances now (here & with hull), but due to a mixture of his attitude and poor man management, he's not been able to take them. I also have an inkling he's perceived to have a negative influence on the team as a whole. Wasted talent at the end of the day, such a shame.

How come he was playing for the U21s anyway?

Not happy with spurs. They'll have their heads switched on this time

Turkish Pizza is delicious. Unsure whether its from Turkey though

I'm planning on getting a season ticket this year but I know I won't be able to attend the next few games. Does anybody know if I could get one in say November for a reduced price or would I have to wait for the half-season tickets that go on sale in Dec/Jan

england are shit

This is us assuming the points are totalled correctly though

it's clearly broken and doesn't look like they're going to fix it if there hasn't been a statement or anything

nope. Its completely bizarre http://i.imgur.com/n9F6gr8.png

Go back to page 23 and follow my instructions Cheers.. Appears I'm not even in it yet!! How the fk do you join it!? I can't see what im doing wrong
