It seems to me that the home cup games are being included as an incentive to boost our cup attendances which will earn the club more money. That's pretty obvious, and I can see why the club have done it, but what's wrong is then discounting the away cup games.
They should either stick to league away games only, or league aways, cup aways and cup home games. You shouldn't lose out by going to Reading away and not Norwich at home. It's not fair doing that, and shows the club are thinking more of the minimal financial benefit they are getting from slightly increased home cup games at the expense of rewarding those who may opt to go to Barnsley or Reading away and not a cup home game.
Having said that, anyone who qualifies for a ticket for any of these reduced allocations via the season ticket route will be a regular away attender (at least in terms of credits gained). The fact that loads exploit the system by selling them on once they've got a credit is a different matter, but you won't get half arsed fans qualifying for a ticket for Bournemouth.
