    What I didn’t ralise when I paid £650 quid for two season tickets, and travelled to Bradford, Accrington. Sunderland, Peterborough, Coventry, S****horpe Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Rochdale Bradford amd 2 pre seasons friendliest was that when I paid my season ticket money, I was going to be behind people who had not been to all the home matches and all these away games, yet turned up for two first round games and merelypaid on the day.
    Has GG not realised the “ Lifetime value of a customer}.......
    And yes, I understand that “ When you are a fan you should got to them all,..... I really do.
    Yet when there’s overnight travel and two of you or a family, then you make a choice.
    League, or cup,
    To me, the allocation for Burnley away is absolute BolloX.
    A fan who merely turns out for the two,FA cup games gets priority over people with 10 away stubs amd a season ticket is just cr@p.
    And before you all jump down my throat, and say “ You should have gone to FA cup 1 and 2 rounds......... What if I had Been on holiday.... ?

    Stinks does this......
    I buy into the club, season tickets, and away games. Yet stand behind a FACUP GLORY HUNTER who attends two games !
    What business people run this club?.. Short sighted idiots
    this has been standard club policy for quite a few seasons now fa cup stubs needed for fa cup games league stubs needed for league games.

    i cant see us selling out our allocation anyway.

    I’ll start by saying as a fan I agree with your frustrations of priority, but suspect as a business decision they have made the correct decision.
    They have probably looked at it as they already have the cash from the loyal ST holders and the majority of them will pay/qualify for the tickets through the 2 FA cup stub policy, but to attract the non ST and potential ST by doing this they are making it easier to attract more customers.

    Bread and butter first.... Always should be but new Shiny hand dryers and a slick Media team are about all the loyal fans have seen from the new owners, Why did I think our foreign owners would be any different from any other clubs ( Leicester excepted ) foreign owners.
