Well that's going to be real kick in the oblongs!!
2,150....tinpot allocation!
Well you're not going get a 3,000 away allocation down at cosy, little Bournemouth either.

Would you effin believe it - I have 247 points!
There's clearly something very, very precise being done based on the points distribution - 234 for Leicester and then 248 for Watford.
It feels like it would make sense to set a threshold such that everyone within that first group could get a ticket if they wanted one, wouldn't it, although I would have thought that more than 2,150 have 248+ points.
So, maybe it's just finger in the air guesswork!
Yes I was 3 short and my friend short by 1 point on the last round of Leicester tickets. Frustrating, but hopefully by getting a ticket and going you will bump over this line. I think the change in points needed to buy tickets is ironing out some anomolies and hopefully people will end up in a fair category.
Watford publish how many people are in each category perhaps Albion will do this eventually.

Surprised the points are that low given the allocation. When will points for this year's season ticket be added?!
Really ? So I suppose you want their names and address as well, take it you have never heard of the Data Protection Act ?
Good find, although it doesn't quite make sense. There seems to be some sort of error in the wording of group B I think...
Group A - 3,802 fans:
- ST holder 2016/17 with 6 or more away match ticket purchases under Fan ID record since July 2014
Group B - 709 fans:
- Non-ST holder with between 6 or more away match ticket purchases under Fan ID record since July 2014
Group C - 10,956 fans:
- ST holder 2016/17 with less than 6 away match ticket purchases under Fan ID record since July 2014
....If the wording of Group A is correct and Watford fans are not significantly different from Albion fans, I think it backs up [MENTION=2095]Commander[/MENTION]'s point on the Leicester thread about most fans not being interested in (most) away fixtures, as 6 aways in 3 seasons seems to get you into Watford's highest priority grouping.
If you've had a season ticket since the Amex opened, you will have had 180 points added.

I think he was asking when the forthcoming season's points are added (in this case 10pts for 7th season).
I seem to remember the document saying something about adding them before the first game.

I guess we know that....22,000 STHs and an average away following of about 10% of that ?
Just guessing, but we probably have a hardcore of say 5-600 that go to most/all games, another 1500 or so that go to maybe half of them (bigger teams, nearer grounds, avoiding midweek etc) and a few thousand that go to a handful or less ? On that basis first wave will usually be the first couple of thousand plus a margin for some 1901ers maybe ?

About right. I'm in the second bracket with about 12 away last season (and the season before), all the London, Birmingham and a few further afield (Cardiff). Nothing up north though. I've got 260 points and feel I should be in the first pick.I guess we know that....22,000 STHs and an average away following of about 10% of that ?
