Best fans in the world

Note that credit includes the Norwich game, so every league game away plus Norwich.

 

[nikom court]

how can they include norwich but not reading or barnsley?

They want people to turn up for home cup games. I don't agree with it myself but the loyalist fans will still be the ones getting tickets which is fine. To be on 6 credits you would still have to have been to 5 of the 6 league aways.

yeah I understand the reason behind it,but it makes no sense,they could have started at 8 aways plus Norwich.

Thats the main reason I dont agree with them including home cup ties, because they dont include away cup ties in anything. I think its fair enough if they keep Europe separate, like they did last year, because its a bit different and takes a lot more money and commitment to go to most Euro aways than it does to get to most League games. But Cup games are domestic. Its as if Cup aways are worthless, as you get nothing for them. Our only two cup aways last season were midweek at West Ham and Swansea, two horrible long trips, and in the case of away credits, they were worthless. It would be interesting if we got to the semis or the final to see if Reading, Barnsley and Boro count. Fact is, the club hide behind some ridiculous line that they are helping people get on the ladder. They arent, they've made it harder. If you are someone who makes it to one or two aways a season and have to wait for the priority to go down before you can get one, when it got down to say 2 away games, you were maybe competing with about maybe 1,000 people? for a few hundred tickets? Now you could be competing with 10-20,000.

There is no way on earth a cheap home cup tie should come into any equation that decides whether or not you get a ticket for Bournemouth away.

I know what you're getting at, but I disagree TBH

I think the fairest way of doing it is to simply reward people for going to the most games - including cup home and aways.

I think it was 09/10 where we had a credits system and every game was worth a particular amount of credits, to me that seemed the fairest way of doing it as it rewarded attendance at all fixtures - including the League Cup home games where half the time people can't be bothered to turn up.

The downside to the system was that the way the credits were scored was silly. Home games were given a heavier weighting (because the club benefit financially, so you can sort of understand their stance).

The current system is abused by those who are at the top of the ladder already - the number of spares you see knocking about on Twitter as soon as the tickets go on sale is ridiculous. Basically lads buying the credits to make sure they have their pick of games they want to attend and then selling on (which there will always be a market for) the ones they don't fancy.

Its an absolute disgrace to throw a home cup tie in as a credit and completely discount the 3 thousand plus fans who made the midweek trips to Barnsley and Reading.

If they did it right I agree that an overall membership points scheme is the fairest way. But Everton got it badly wrong. Other clubs do it quite fairly, Man City last time I checked have one where you horrible long trips for televised games at stupid kick off times were worth a lot, while United at home not very much, which is fair.

Under our current system where we reward away attendance though, there is no way a home game should come into it, unless it is competition specific (i.e. you get a ticket for a potential semi or final for attending cup games rather than lots of league games) And it seems we do that already with the away games in the cups, so there is no way on earth going to a cheap home tie against Norwich should carry more weight than midweek trips to Barnsley, Reading and now Boro do.

It shouldn't, I guess my point was that the current system was in need of reform. I agree this isn't perfect, but is maybe (marginally) better than not including cup attendance at all.

Essentially though, a credits based system for all games would be the fairest way of doing it. The lads who abuse the current system would find it much harder to shift a League Cup home ticket against Brentford or whoever and hence would either need to attend or miss out on being at the top of the credit tree.

It is also just a ploy by Everton to increase numbers on the gate of home cup ties and make more money, they know full well we will sell out any cup tie away from home.
