[Albion] Man United away tickets

[dazzer6666]

Strange loyalty points allocations for games this season. West Ham 10 points, Man Utd 5. Odd.

Same as usual…….essentially we have Cat A, B and C games at home, the reverse fixtures get 5, 10 and 15 respectively don’t they ?

I’m hoping there’s still some left on Tuesday

Set by people who are out of touch and absolutely not paying fans of the club. They don't get it.

Any decent (recommended) hotels in Manchester centre ?

The Lowry is quite nice

 

[albionfan37]

Any idea how many are left currently?

76.

76.

Gonna be tight come Tuesday morning, what’s the likelihood of another section opening?

I had hoped to get some on Tuesday but it’s not going to happen and I’ve decided to give it a miss now. If there are 2 left on Tuesday then good luck to whoever gets them but it won’t be me. I’ll watch it on tv this time.

I went there during a rain interval at a recent test match. Highly recommended for an hour or three!

What don't they get, the points allocated this season:

Burnley 15
Cardiff City 15
Brentford 5
Crystal Palace 5
Swansea City 15
Norwich City 15
Leicester City 15
Liverpool 5
Aston Villa 10
West Ham United 10
Southampton 10
Manchester United 5

Cardiff/Swansea/Leicester all League Cup mid week games
Burnley and Norwich lower level teams and distance
Brentford and Palace, Local
United and Liverpool top 6 teams

The only one possibly to moan about is West Ham, but then they have allocated 10 points rather than the expected 5 for London games.

So if you have secured tickets for all these games, 125 points.

But no doubt some will be moaning as the game(s) they go to away only get 5 points allocated.

The longer you have has held a season ticket and the more away games you go to, the higher up the away tiers you are, seems sensible and accepted by the vast majority of fans.

Maybe Southampton being 10, when really should be 5 points. Doesn't effect me as I have 328 points but can see the issues.

West Ham 10 points for a London game is bonkers. It's the cost of a travelcard.

They haven't factored in that we've played at most of these grounds 4 or 5 times now. 5 points for United a Saturday lunchtime on TV a week before Christmas is bonkers.
5 for Liverpool when it's £80 on the train compared to 10 for Saints is crazy.

West Ham ? Evening game, won’t be home till midnight, shit place to watch football. 10 points is about right IMO.

Perception at least is loads want to go to OT and Anfield, and not so many want to go to Saints. Man U and Liverpool will be Cat A games for us at home. It all makes logical sense really.

West Ham kicks off at 7.15pm and costs bollocks all to get to compared to the Northern games.

As I said, points totals set by people with little understanding of the challenges of getting to games, rail replacement buses, booking trains or trying to split a tank of fuel between 4.

Nah. Easy drive to Burnley and 15 points in the bag.

Train to West Ham will cost me £25 (ish) - and it’s 7.30 btw. The stadium is crap.
Car to Villa - 4 sharing - maybe a tenner each (plus £6 parking)
I usually drive (apart from London) because trains are usually shit at weekends

Fair enough. I'd argue Crawley is an easy drive rather than Burnley but I'm a train man to be honest

Also, some advice, get a railcard

After 30 years commuting to London, last thing I want is to get on a ****ing train

 

[Luke93]

Agree 10 points for West Ham is about right. Longer travel time than most London games. Awkward mid week time and as mentioned a terrible away ground. Over priced bars and the upper tier is a joke.

Pretty certain travel is only one aspect taken into consideration. That said, bearing in mind WHU's position they have probably got this one wrong and should be 5pts!
