Tsunami Posted Monday at 17:05 Share Posted Monday at 17:05 Just remembered that I was around number 850 in the queue it for Semi Final tickets, got through inside 10 minutes and got kicked out. I’m beginning to feel little hard done by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish more than anything that I'd taken up a couple of cheap ST under Ashley. Even keeping the seat empty would've been worth it in hindsight. Personally I would have done this based purely on cup game attendance and nothing to do with holding a ST, but maybe the numbers would have worked out similar anyway.

Just hope there’s 2-3 together in the lower tier. 😬 Based on there being as many, or more, in the cup scheme as our total allocation, I'd assume well over half our allocation is in pot 2 (either attending all 4 home games or passing on via email rather than transferring). Can imagine there'll be slim pickings in lower tier by pot 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It punishes the people who’ve done the correct thing and forwarded it on via supporter number, and in lots of cases paid the price difference from a junior/senior to an adult. I suppose no matter what they do there’s always going to be someone who misses out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to sit together is to wait 24hrs and pick seats with category 3, which could be a risk if that’s true. 🤔 First three categories will be fine IMO.

Just be a case of queue number at noon on Friday. Edited Monday at 17:12 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to sit together is to wait 24hrs and pick seats with category 3, which could be a risk if that’s true. 🤔 If it’s like last time, you’ll be able to see seat availability. So if you have someone in your group in pot 1 then they can just keep an eye on tickets and then act accordingly. Pots 1 to 3 are all guaranteed tickets, so the risk is just whether you’ll be able to sit together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel like the club don't give a flying fuck about the members who go to all / most games We're each paying thousands of quids for tickets every season but get absolutely no recognition for that The only practical difference between someone like me who by hook or by crook manages to buy a ticket for every game versus someone with an ST, is that they were willing to keep going under Ashley and I wasn't And for clarity, I have no beef with the ST holders, it's the club I'm pissed off with Edited Monday at 18:00 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted Monday at 17:58 Share Posted Monday at 17:58 (edited) I have emailed the Trust, requesting them to hold an open forum, in person, for Trust members to air their views on the Club’s current membership system. Ive raised this previously at a Trust AGM but nothing happened. I’m putting it in writing this time, and as a lifetime Trust member, I’m hoping it can be the beginning of a discussion point and then through the proper channels, to lobby the Club to create a hierarchical membership system.
