So 5 is too young for championship but 6 is fine for prem?
Hypothetically let’s assume your ballot system was currently in place. You win tickets to mags away.
Is 6 old enough for that? But 5 too young for Preston away last season?

So why should you get priority over the fans who did go to those games?
As I said, 6 is probs a bit young too. But whatever ages parent decide is old enough to go, there's no way of getting enough points.

Stop using this season as the rule. It’s the exception. Patience. Most on here didn’t do regular away games when they were 6, just odd ones like he’s doing. It’s nothing out of the ordinary

I'm happy if the demand drops, I've said if it does there's not a problem.
The question I was asking, is what do we do if it doesn't?
Am I complaining that I miss out on away tickets because I don’t have enough points? I get to the games I can. Same as you, unless you don’t bother when we’re in league 1 or the championship

Again, as I've said before I can get tickets. It's my son that can't.

I know a song about not getting a ticket
Me auld man was exactly the same, went to every game but never got a wembo ticket
I missed out on the opportunity of entering the 92 cup final ballot. Did I complain to the NHS that they didn’t allow me to attend the games where vouchers were given out? No I was happy to be alive. Maybe I should have complained and died that would have freed up a ticket for a 6 year old to attend games this season.
Again, which games have you attended this season away from home?
This 100%. Society these days thinks you can have what you want when you want it. I was 23 before I did my first away game. Didn't do me any harm, doesn't make me any less fantatical about the lads.

I see this is still going and Moronic is reeling people in hook, line and sinker.
I started when I was 14. My pal and I wanted to start going to away games but we had no points so we had to go to the shit games.
We sat next to each other in every class at school and would have to keep each other awake after getting home at 2:30am and being at school at 8:30am.

i didn't get a season ticket till i was 14, was a half season ticket i think the season that the north stand extension got built. for years i dreamt of having one, there was one or two lads in school who had them and i was insanely jealous. but you couldn't get one in the first couple of years of the SoL being open. we used to go to the reserve games at the SoL and coca-cola cup home games as 10-11 year olds.
i remember missing out on charlton play off final tickets cos we didn't have STs and genuinely crying in my bedroom
thats life. i waited, and saved up, and got a half-St with my mate for xmas cos we'd been pestering our parents and ringing the ticket office every day to see if they were releasing any.
that was during the Reidy days and we used to apply for away games by handing in your voucher from the book and got rejected 90% of the time but went to the midweek away games and gradually built them up. first time i went to mags away was 2005 so i would have been 19 and inside the top 2000ish for loyalty points by then
at 5 years old i'd been to one or two games maximum at roker park
He’s away to dream up reasons why he couldn’t be arsed to go to Bristol City, Preston (twice) both midweek but absolutely doable after school. I assume he’s not taking his child on Monday or a week on Wednesday? Why didn’t he bother with Blackburn on Boxing Day? Another school day I assume? Stoke in the FA Cup? The number of points available to him is endless the truth of the matter is he couldn’t be arsed to go.
Why do you think you should be able to buy tickets over someone who’s 13 or 6 depending on which day of the week it is? You have to have attended a game in 1960 to prove loyalty apparently.
What lies????? The other day your youngest was 13, now he’s 6. Explain the honesty in that.

Also, why is 5 too young but 6 isn’t? I’ll tell you why, Sunderland are in the Premier League.

I've been to several, but binned some off because I didn't want to go without the lad. Why is this relevant?
This is the point though, he is 6. How many 6 year olds have ever gone to away games? I would say the majority of fans who are in the top points brackets didn't even go to
away games when they were 6. Most are teenagers at least before they start doing those games.
He has around 80 years ahead of him to get to them.

Two years ago I mentioned my 13 year old, he's now two years older. I didn't mention my 4 year old in that post who is now 6. Although I did say my youngest, when I meant my youngest going to the matches at that time.
He was too young last year, probably too young this year if I'm honest, but nothing changes unless we turn crap.
