The benefit of using scan as you go is you don't have to visit a member of the checkout team and converse with them "How are you today", "What are your plans for today", "Did you find all you wanted today" - that's worth more than money
Membership points are irreverent for STH's
Whatever you had at the end of last season take off 1,000 and divide by 2, that is your away game and home cup game points
If you have been a STH since the amex opened add on 180
If you have 217 then you have 37 from away matches and home cup games...
So the club won't really be too worried who you get a ticket for, 'Stan the Stabber' and 'Knuckles' and you would only do it once if they lived up to the reputations.

I see we have given them 2,967, so less than 3,000, I assume that will be the maximum away allocation all season
