Starting to think that Evans won't be given a chance. I'd like to see him starting at the moment. And with all the league game plus Vertu trophy we should be keeping him and giving him minutes.

It's certainly an interesting choice

Last season when Tigers were playing at home and we had Portsmouth it meant a 19:45 Saturday evening kick off for us.

It must be soon. I think they will put memberships up for sale soon. Then / at same time put the info on website for sale dates. They wont have them on sale as (1) Season Ticket Holders then (2) General Sale. Plus first home competitive game is 5 weeks away. They usually put Home tickets up for sale 5 weeks in advance of game. But as a cup game they can get away with slightly less time. I'm thinking by weekend for both.

You don’t while you are a STH. But if buy any home cup games everyone still gets one point per ticket. Gives no advantage at all. Unless a STH cancels. Then it may be useful depending on how many points they have as the sale of home games are staggered for members based on points. Would clearly be able to get a ticket this coming season. But would just be able to buy sooner and have more of choice of where to sit. Plus if things improve and goes back to members ballot rather than general sale for season tickets then the more points the greater the chance of successful application. That only probably becomes relevant if we have a couple of good seasons. Here’s hoping.

For away they give 50 points when purchase a season ticket, then 1 point for away ticket purchased. When we were in the champions league for those who bought the package in advance of the draw being made we got 30 away points awarded. For home they give 1 point for home ticket purchased - leave or cup, for people that RENEW their membership they get 10 points. Before the start of the 23/24 season the club offered a sweetener where people who cancelled their season ticket after being relegated from the premier league in 22/23 if they purchased a season ticket before a certain date they got 30 home points. When we them won the championship this in part contributed to the home points needed to be successful in season ticket ballot being as high as 51 points. The highest I’ve ever seen it. The following season only 20 points were needed.

Sadly not. If I was I would have boosted my away points to over 700. Just lucky I had several tabs including that one I hadn’t closed.

Try this. Hopefully it will work. But make sure logged into your account first. Although I could find it, they might still change it https://tickets.lcfc.com/CrmDetails.aspx?dd_referrer=#eSRO_Crm_PersonalDetails

I can see it. I had not closed a previous browser tab. I've refreshed it and the club has added the 50 away points for renewing my season ticket.

Yep. After we won the Premier League there were only 304 new season ticket holders for 16/17. Just over 3500 applied in a ballot.

It’s a start. Hopefully some of the player’s agents will get them out of the club. We don’t seem to be able to move people on.

I looked yesterday morning just before they took them off general sale. In the cheapest blocks A1 had 1 seat left and C2 had 3 left. Understandably people have relocated and bought the cheapest season tickets they could. Lots of empty seats in other blocks as a result. If the club keep match day ticket prices the same as the season we just had it would mean £39 for an adult in C1, or much more in others. If they price them differently to ensure more people go mid week it is hard to see how that will not result in season ticket holders potentially paying more. Last season I think only wo games were classed as Cat D. Preston was one. Maybe two or three were Cat C. Most A and B. This meant easily better value to have the season ticket if going to most. I think I had a point when I started writing this. Not sure what it was now.

Quite possibly this year. Only the home points are considered towards an application though. Depending on your plans if you are able to make a couple more games that may make it more likely.

How many points do you have? I think at the end of last season only 21 were needed. All people that had that many points got season tickets so you would not be competing against them, as they will either renew or cancel. (The previous season about 52 or 52 were needed but that was when we had just been promoted back to the PL). There will be a massive drop off this time. The renewal rate last season was only 89%, previous seasons it was in the high 90s.
