Apathy setting in.

Because every year more points are added, such as season ticket purchase, therefore to make it work the bar has to be raised otherwise it comes to the point when everybody has 6000 making the system unworkable if the first option to buy is kept at 6000.

That is plain bonkers. So in effect you believe that our "Super Fans" should continue to have first dibs on every away game?

If "everybody" has 6000 points surely it must then be on a first come, first served basis. The Aberdeen tickets incidentally were sold out at the 6000 points mark.

Burnley Football Club will screen Thursday’s Europa League second qualifying round, first leg tie from Aberdeen live in the club’s Fanzone.

The game, which kicks off at 7.45pm, will be shown via a HD feed from Pittodrie on the big screen on the North East Car Park. There is no charge for admission.

The Fanzone bar will be open from 6pm, along with the James Hargreaves Stand lower tier, for food provision and toilet facilities. No food or drink will be allowed into the Fanzone.

Please note, there will be no car parking available on the north east (main) car park. Car parking will be available on Harry Potts Way and the Harry Potts Way car park.

Those that go to most away games should certainly get first dibs before those who just fancy the high profile games
The points system works without any arguments for 95% of games, I think any company would settle for that high success rate
6000pts? Not the 8000 you were basing your argument on then.. I don't see anyone complaining that they Carnt get Southampton tickets... But come utd away they'll come out of the woodwork complaining they Carnt get a ticket with 4000pts

So you liken any fan with 4000 pnts who wants a ticket for the United game to an insect crawling out of woodwork ? Charming character aren't you.

I didn't call anyone an insect.... But they certainly shouldn't be at front of the queue for high profile tickets

So what are those little things you find crawling out of woodwork ?

It's a well known saying, in daily use, accepted as such by millions, and never in the world have I heard someone come out with such a ridiculous statement as you did. If you want a debate on the points system fair enough, but to be abusive to someone for using that saying just proves the point made yesterday about how new posters are treated by some on this site.

Drama Queens, dummies being thrown out of prams, fans crawling out of the woodwork, cliques, ridiculous statements, oh and moaning about being abused.
Not a bad start Willy, keep up the good work. You did say earlier you tend not to hang around forums like this for too long. Don't let me keep you.

Willy I have heard that idiom a number of times. I’m surprised Sinkov hasn’t as he is a man of the world.
I have got my tickets for Southampton as you predicted. Am working on Man U too, but .... that’s a long way off and I am nowhere near 4000 points.

That’s OTT Sinkov.
