What was actually said on this? Makes no sense at all to gain points towards the mens loyalty scheme by attending u23s or womens football. Fine to have their own loyalty scheme but this would be nonsense.

Exactly we cant all just pop down for an U23 game

The answer was that Barber asked someone else in the room to look into the possibility of it - head of customer services or something else it was.
So nothing agreed.

Did anyone mention or ask a question regarding FAB?

Is that the one with Scott, Virgil, Alon, John, Brains and some bird dressed in pink?

It wouldn't be fair - just a form of engineering the system to queue jump.

I hope the Famous FAB don't go along with it.

There is also the vast difference in price between home league games and home U23s and WSL games, You can get a ST for the Women at virtually the same price of a WSL match ticket.

Also U23s home games are free to ST so why should you effectively get extra points when no additional costs are involved.

If this goes through we could be in the position of the Bournemouth cup game for a few years ago, where thousands of tickets are sold and only 83 people actually attend.

The problem is a lot of fans only want to go to the away game in and around London were only 5 points are usually given, and completely over look that those that travel to the likes of Burnley and Newcastle get 30 points just from those two games.

There is nothing wrong with the ST loyalty programme. The consecutive seasons on the ST is capped at 200 points, so those who have not had a ST for the entire Amex period are catching up as they renew their ST, and those that attend the most away games are (mainly) in tier 1.

Personally I cant see this being introduced as it will cause far more of an outcry than the current system.

Agree, I attend a lot of Under 23s fixtures Home & Away, as well as Women's fixtures, because I am interested to see how the team perform, this doesn't make me more loyal to the first team. It will just become a farce if people are attending to get points to go to the games. Some people really have a chip on their shoulders about the loyalty point system. It works fine, Manchester United went to Purchase history and West Ham to season ticket holders. I got my loyalty points through attending away games all season, as well as me and my mates skipping college to go to Reading away on a tuesday night to see us lose 2-1. It would be unfair for someone to miss out on tickets for Bournemouth away who's been to Cardiff Away in the league cup, for someone whos either turned up to Under 23s games for 10 minutes and left or someone who fancies Fulham away because its close. Bournemouth has always been a bun fight for tickets, but it didn't sell out in the 2014/15 season, or did Fulham. I understand people have commitments that mean they can't always do away games, but not everyone can be catered for. Bournemouth is a crap away day as well.

I also think the loyalty scheme is pretty good at the moment even though i missed out on Bournemouth by 3 points . I also think that the club themselves see it the same way though who knows what goes on in their brainstorming meetings ? The thing was that i thought i heard the fan who brought up the subject say that she did not go to many away games , that being the case why does she need more loyalty points ( though i must say at this point that i may not be right about that - perhaps someone can confirm or deny .

I think that’s what she said, she couldn’t afford or make time to go to a lot of the away games but she wanted WSL games included, maybe she lives in Crawley and is often free on a Sunday?
