Loads,you're wasted

 

Please don't try to apply common sense here....

let the chaos theory rule....OK?

 

I agree except for away tickets.

Why should season ticket holders get first dibs on away tickets?</p>

 

Loyalty?

The only reason that I can think of really.</p>

The club made that decision, not me, I just tried rewording the bottom part in order that it made sense which the club's own release doesnt.</p>

 

Perk of having a season ticket for 10 years in a row i guess

 

23 home games on the gate pays nearly twice as much money as an ST

They show more loyalty as they put more money into the club.</p>

 

Still doesn't make sense for away games,

 

I don't think that hold weight,we put our money up front before a balls been kicked

Anyway i do at least a dozen away games a season as well so no question of lack of loyalty over this way

 

RE: Still doesn't make sense for away games,

i suppose the view is you put you money up front before even knowing how the season will go. I can see what you mean though if you go to a lot of away games. But i agree with that policy to be honest. Perhaps season tickets holders with so many away stubs first. But time is a factor here
