If the Trust etc now keep schtum and those in charge think we're satisfied with the little bit of movement we got today, then it's a sorry state of affairs. That's the concern. The club wreck the system but then give a little bit back to shut people up. Knowing our fanbase it will probably work too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on those seating plans from previous pages, it’s separate from any other category. Be interesting what happens in the family section when the 10yr deals run out as most of the kids that got them are now adults. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 4 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: I found this bit encouraging, maybe they just haven't got a system in place just yet to role it out for Villa? This functionality will be operational when ballot registration opens from 10am. Please note that supporters are unable to select multiple price categories at this time. Hopefully that reads as "you can't do it yet but we hope to have it available soon". Hopefully. But if the system is not fit for purpose yet it shouldn't be used yet.

People know exactly what has changed since- and it gets tiring. It’s called a loyalty system I can’t remember what the loyalty system was like back then, but I used to go loads without even having a Season Ticket. Remember buying my own for Anfield when Barton was sent off in the relegation season. Saw us lose every Boxing Day at either Bolton or Wigan. Didn’t have a season ticket for the loyalty point to go on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve conveniently ignored the other points too, such as people accumulating points by getting the ticket and selling it on, just like those outraged on Twitter are doing. edited to add; I’m not trying to be an arse here, but you’re complaining about your specific circumstance and a potential disadvantage, while not considering all of the issues involved. The club need to do this. Far from ignoring your point, I made reference to the fact in an earlier post that the club needs to review the system… this new one continues to reward those who have the maximum points and who have ‘potentially’ bought and passed tickets on previously.. whilst it also provides some reward for folk who previously didn’t go for various reasons ie age, circumstance or simply couldn’t be arsed cos we were shit etc. but it does need thought and could get buy in from key stakeholders like NUST and NUSC… unfortunately they’ve just implemented another system in a similar way to the membership scheme without much thought, meaning 2-300 tickets are no longer available for regular attendees.. and just to clarify my son started to accumulate points 7 years ago by going to friendlies, cup games, night games etc… he learned from an early age that if he wanted to attend when things got better he’d need to put the hard work in first… after all we all knew the ‘loyalty’ rules which were never an issue until people started pissing their pants recently… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who played the game as it was and now gets shafted because of the changes to home or away ticketing will rightfully feel pissed off. The whole thing just needed a lot more thought before the implementations came. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean people shouldn’t rightly want to select their seat should they be successful. If I really wanted to see Oppenheimer at the cinema, and was successful in a ballot and was charged to sit on the front row and had no choice - I’d be fuming. I’d rather not go and pay for that thank you. I don’t see how this is any different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean the club will listen though. Have more confidence now that Brian Blessed has walked away that there isn't the same self interest and conflict of interest. There is still a stench of Tory TF around the board though. It is also telling that the response from NUSC was more detailed and eloquent that NUST imho.

I'd take from row of Gallowgate corner or back row Level 7 Milburn Stand just to get in and experience it again. It's impossible to cater to everyone.
