I'm of the mindset to let us see how it plays out. You are never going to please everyone, I think myself it covers a lot of who has been where over the last four years, plus the drop off of the furthest back year each time will give people chance to pick up over the coming years.
Away Ticket Points Scheme Unveiled! (15 Viewers)
- Thread starter vow
- Start date
Yes, but that’s obviously not the only consideration when it comes to deciding who should follow the team away from home. If it was, we could just give away the ticket priority with every prawn sandwich in the CBS corporate areas and be done with it.

If budget contribution is the only consideration then we should either give priority to those who spend the most on home tickets (I’m sure some corporate packages cost more for a single game than my season ticket does) or just auction off access to away games to the highest bidder. Sound fair?

Well I’m floating it in response to someone suggesting that people who don’t contribute to the playing budget shouldn’t receive any credit. If that’s the only yardstick by which we’re judging fans then it’s pretty clear that the highest rollers at the CBS are the most deserving of tickets. And as someone paying full price for my season ticket, I should get priority over students/pensioners etc.
Personally I think the club should recognise the loyalty of fans attending at home, and away from home, whatever the price point. They need to not only encourage people to buy more tickets, but also to back the team wherever they’re playing. It seems like that’s broadly what they’re doing.

To be fair, the only people who aren't contributing to playing budget would be anyone going away games only and I don't think there's many of them.
I think they've not made a bad job of it and I'm sure, as it's the first attempt, it will be adapted season on season though they're never going to satisfy everyone.

How many points do you get for a iFollow season ticket, asking for a friend.

Well everyone agrees with that, which is why the new system is built the way it is.
I also think people need to be encouraged to attend away matches, especially the less glamorous ones, if only for the sake of generating good away support for the team. For that reason, I’m glad the team is offering a benefit to fans who choose to travel, even if CCFC don’t see any financial benefit from it.

WARNING: Appeals are being dimly viewed.
I asked for 17.85 points extra because, when I was a student in London, I braved the under & over ground trains during rush hour to buy a under 16 ticket for a fiver in the home end against Wimbledon in the first season of the Championship.
Result: Been docked 100 pts & warned about my future conduct!
For those wondering... 1-0. David Thompson

Overall I think it’s a fairly good approach. Home attendance should be recognised as well as away. This will have an impact on those that only want to do Chelsea at Home or Southampton Away and I think that’s right, they should be back of the queue or what’s left for general sale.
My only question mark is on it going back to the St Andrews years, that will create a bit of a closed shop for some away games for the foreseeable future. I chose not to have a ST for St Andrews for obvious reasons and I won’t be able get close to catching anyone up that did. They will always be infront of me for ticket points.
Overall though I think it’s a fair approach.

I’d understand including the St Andrews years if they also included the League 1 and League 2 seasons before that, but they don’t for some reason.
The current points system basically rewards all those who were in a position to get to Birmingham each week, as well as the thousands of bandwagoners since our promotions, but not the loyal few thousand who were there home and away in League 2. Strange.

As the system will only be working off the last three years history, eventually the St Andrews points will drop off. Should level the playing field a little over time.
