So you couldn't be arsed but want the same perks as those who actually went every week.
So you couldn't be arsed but want the same perks as those who actually went every week.I do see this personally wrong that season ticket holders at seasons spent at Birmingham were given extra points
Points allocated
2019/20 270 Birmingham
2020/21 250 Birmingham
2021/22 230 Coventry
2022/23 230 Coventry
In my view if you have no principles, you have nothing.
The first part of your sentence is not true at all, just a point of principle.So you couldn't be arsed but want the same perks as those who actually went every week.
You couldn’t be arsed to have principals?The first part of your sentence is not true at all, just a point of principle.
There’s a couple of potholes in your post.I'm looking forward to Blackburn as its near to me and wont obviously sell out before it gets to general sale.
Its incredibly hard to get away tickets for 'high profile' games not being a season ticket holder. Its unpractical logistically and financially with the travel to get a season ticket living 100 miles away
This will be my 8th away game but they apart from 1 have been lower profile games.
I believe people who had season ticket holders at St Andrews were given extra points. I think personally that is unfair as many very true supporters boycotted that at also the debacle of SISU moving to Northampton for their own commercial reasons.
BTW Blackburn last 5 game home package is 99 GBP rather than 125 GBP.
What was the principle?The first part of your sentence is not true at all, just a point of principle.
The principle of not giving your money to the club but expecting them to give you priorities? As has been proven the club were shafted by a rugby club. Not sure what your principle is tbh. Well apart from you being someody who expects something for nothing.The first part of your sentence is not true at all, just a point of principle.
My main point is that 40 and 20 additional points were allocated specifically to seasons at Birmingham compared to back in Coventry seasons ie 270,250 compared to 230. This was done under the SISU regime so perhaps we can put it down to that and move on.There’s a couple of potholes in your post.
1) there’s only 2/3 away games this season that haven’t made it to General Sale. There’s been plenty of opportunity for away tickets regardless of points status.
2) if you can’t make it down to Coventry for home games because of the distance (you mentioned Blackburn being the closest game), I doubt you would have been able to make it to QPR or Swansea.
3) it’s unreasonable to expect to make minimal effort with home games and then get equal priority to in demand away games. You’ve obviously attended a fair share of away games this season, FairPlay, but there will be ST holders that are also doing that and will come ahead of you on points, until you attend that level of home games too.
4) even if the club declared St Andrews points null and void, you’re not even buying a raffle ticket and attending home games, so this would have no impact on you. Those same people and waves more would still be ahead of you.
5) I also live 100 miles give or take from Coventry but I have a season ticket which probably isn’t cost effective (as I can’t attend any midweek games with work) and let it go for free when I’m not there as it’s still fantastic value for money.
My main point is that 40 and 20 additional points were allocated specifically to seasons at Birmingham compared to back in Coventry seasons ie 270,250 compared to 230. This was done under the SISU regime so perhaps we can put it down to that and move on.
I think there has been slightly more than 2 or 3 that didn't make general sale. I don't have the exact figure.
So far 8 of 17 have been midweek games due to the pitch fiasco and Qatar world cup which definitely makes it harder/expensive if you prefer not driving.
Actually , I was initially planning to go to Swansea but something make that impossible just before going on sale. I like Shepherds Bush area near QPR but decided it just wasn't fair to spend money on that when going to 3 other Coventry games in April already.
I will have been to 7 home games and by end of normal season and 9 away . Last year 11 home and 9 away (would have been more but couldn't get a ticket!)
hopefully this ends this conversation.
Think we've reached the ceiling of how far we can go with the current one.It does need looking into as there’s definitely floors in this system.
Note to me … read before pressing sendThink we've reached the ceiling of how far we can go with the current one.
The same supporters clubs we were assured met all points criteria.. surely notI’ve missed out many of times for away tickets even though I was a season ticket holder at Brum 890 points. I managed to get hold of a Blackpool ticket of a mate . But what pissed me off , I was sat next to a couple of lads that only had around 100 points but got them through one of the supporters clubs . So how’s that fare ? It does need looking into as there’s definitely floors in this system.
Any chance of more?
£20 ticket
2000 allocation fair to say think this will sell out
It says initial so I would have thought soAny chance of more?
How many are we allowed in a seat?Any chance of more?

I absolutely agree with you as a fellow AussieOne thing that’s good that they do here in Australia in the AFL is have ex pro’s of the club call up fans asking if they’d like to renew their memberships and having a bit of a chat with them on the phone. They act as a bit of a representative of the club, albeit there’s less transfers over here so the players stick around a bit more often. But it’s quite a nice touch each season getting a call from an ex player who listens to your moans and groans, tries to give you a bit of reassurance of the direction the club is heading in, thanks you for your support and basically says we really hope to have you back next year.
There’s things I’ve seen over here from different sports that we could really learn about with football to make it more inclusive, entertaining and an overall greater experience

I am definitely up for this one. Lets hope all the posters on this thread are there too.Initial allocation
I agree without a season ticket the additional points given to season tickets in Birmingham wont impact me, I will always be behind season ticket holders and vulnerable to not getting a ticket . However that isn't my point of principle , Its not about me it's about everyone. Also genuinely unsure whether 2019/20 season ticket holders receive those 270 points.Yes but again, what difference does the points allocation to those seasons make to you, when you didn’t have a ST to any of them?
Points are only based on 3 most recent seasons so in a year or so, no ‘bonus’ St Andrews points will be factored in… but that still won’t change your predicament of not being top priority until you buy a home ST.
The only season ticket I have bought in the last 20 yearsThose who bought a season ticket in 2020/21 with no prospect of going to games deserve all the points they get.
Glory supporters and Coventry City?The biggest load of bollocks re. the points system is those hardcore few of us that went every week in League Two get no reward. Nonsense. Bunch of glory fans.
How many points you gotThe biggest load of bollocks re. the points system is those hardcore few of us that went every week in League Two get no reward. Nonsense. Bunch of glory fans.
The earlier the divorce the cheaper it isWedding anniversary, could offer the good lady a night out in Blackburn but divorce is expensive. May have to go to lunch as a happy compromise
He never has a point to make.How many points you got
Typical Tory responseAbolute bargain. Fans are never happy. Last year they were all moaning they wanted a points system. This year they are moaning that some have too many points. We got those points for going to Birmingham and we deserve everyone of them, particuarly for the season when we didn't get to see any football, yet still shelled out for a season ticket.
LOLTypical Tory response
