Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
Just imagine how you’d feel if you had over 11,000 and some one with 5000 less than you got a ticket because in the clubs eyes they were more “loyal”. Loyalty works both ways unless you are Burnley Football Club.BFC88 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:05 pmThis is all a result of Blackburn giving a us a shocking allocation of tickets. There was never going to be a 'fair' way of doing this and loyal, diehard fans were always going to miss out.
I'm on 4500 points and I feel aggreived. I've had a season ticket for 15+ years with a break in between for Uni. My points pre-Uni magically disappeared. I feel I deserve a ticket, but it is what it is.
Like I say all goes back to the scandalous, petty allocation all because they are jealous of our club!

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
Perhaps the fairest way is a ballot for fans with over 6000 points but to restrict how often you can win the ballot. This is give all true fans a chance
The danger is that if you give higher priority to those with 8,10 or 12k points you will end up with a closed shop where membership is impossible. My 18 year old son has been a season ticket holder for 10 years and still has only 5300 points
So to make the qualification higher than 6000 will deter youngsters from supporting the club

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
And the business requires and wants people (customers) to spend. Not a penny more from me other than my season ticket. All the other stuff they can go whistle. Pay for the season ticket up front on a credit card that way they can wait until the season is finished before they get their money.Jakubclaret wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:10 pmThe mistake is thinking that perhaps a business cares about your custom or loyalty any business first & foremost cares about generating maximum profit with little interest in anything else, separating a football club what is essentially a business can be blurred emotional detachment away from reality.

I saw plenty of youngsters at Blackpool who must've been under the age of ten. It would simply be impossible for them to have the required number of points, but there are always ways around these things as we all know.

to this post and others saying the same thing, the club is not entitled to do that.

The only way BFC could have "stuck it to 'em" is if it didn't put the tickets on sale to its fans - but then BFC would have to pay for those tickets as they are effectively sold (just not distributed)...

Whatever # of tickets we got were going to be sold one way or the other.
Those fans who have been fortunate enough to get tickets can still boycott the event if they want - let's see how many volunteer to take the hit to make the wider point - it'll be somewhere between none and zero.

When I saw this pitiful allocation, it took me all of about two seconds to decide I wasn't going and leaving it to chance via a raffle!

Would that affect Blackburn? Maybe the sellers are franchises that pay the club for the pitch and profit from sales.Bfc wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:14 pmTony, I'm sorry you've missed out. You really did deserve to be successful for the hard work you've put into anything connected with Club, be it as a supporter, or on committees.
As I put on another thread, " don't buy a thing from that lot". If they order 1,000 pies, our supporters should leave them with 1,000 pies. It's not much, but but they'd probably have to give them away to the needy.

When I started attending games the Turf was less than half full, now we've got a bunch of PL cling on plastic fans. That is great for our attendances but nonsense if you think they deserve the same priority as someone like Tony.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
I don’t get the boycott thing. Rovers have already shown they want as few there as possible within the rules of the competition and aren’t bothered about the money they lose by doing so. Taking any less than our full allocation would be playing right into their hands. By all means don’t spend anything in the ground but those that are going should make as much noise as possible and help deliver the best justice, a massive defeat for Rovers.ChristheViking wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:38 pmOne of the more bizarre notions in this whole episode is the belief of some that somehow a boycott was ever going to happen.

To attract younger fans the line has to be drawn somewhere that gives all a chance to get in the ballot. Those of us with higher points will not miss out every time if there is a restriction on the number of ballots you can win
Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
A boycott was never, ever, ever going to happen.
File under ‘1000s of Burnley fans in the home ends and 1000s in town’.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
I'm surprised about the amount of dummies being spat out. I missed out but it's not the end of the world. I've loved every minute of this season so I won't lose sleep over missing one game. Shame that an article knocking us has been published when the club were put in a hopeless position, but I doubt they'll lose sleep over that either.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
Points systems that have been running a long time end up being unfair in their own way.
It is a “how old are you” system by another name.
And to me that is not the way to encourage new fans. If allocated on highest first then i doubt there would have been a fan under 45 with a ticket.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
Did they stick with the club during the fall?
Some of the home attendances under Cotterill were sub 10k, now we've had a few years in the PL they're 20k+
Glory seekers is a term I'd use. Now don't get me wrong, it's great the club is thriving and I hope we never return to 10k at home games but this was a moment for BFC to do the right thing by those that were travelling up and down the country when we were sh!te.

Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
Come into this discussion late but the clue is in the title "It's a ballot" One ticket or a hundred doesn't guarantee a winner. My cynism is with historic proof is that people like Tony, Dave Burnley, Leisure etc always prevail because of history. This has proved me wrong. These people deserve to be up front but we all have to play the game. Blackburn has caused this mess and BFC has had to deal with something that is unprecedented. Yes communication is ******** but let's try to be pragmatic here. BRFC are the villains. I would love 2 or 3 thousand ticketless fans to turn and show this up for what it is but that isn't going to happen. I have connections Tony and will reach out. If anything comes of it I will contact you, failing that let's look at Corporate.

Maybe we could have a rule where proof of attendance at certain ‘historical’ fixtures away like Hartlepool on a Tuesday night in the early 1990’s or Brighton away on Boxing Day automatically guarantee you a ticket for small away allocations!
Re: ARTICLE: Clubs should hang their heads in shame over derby tickets
And if you went to every division 4 match, all Mullen games, Waddle, Heath etc., but missed a few years in the past 10/15, you could have well under 6k.

Lincoln away 1 0 Fletcher. I travelled with CT that night. Stafford away doesn't count unless you were crushed by the collapsing wall. Newcastle away in the league 1974 is the true test. Arranged on Saturday night for following midweek, even Dave Burnley missed that.
