I live in Stretton half a mile from the ground..

 

5 min walk from ground on derby road - Beech pub is a designated away fan pub.. usually a food wagon outside too.. decent enough boozer

McDonald’s  is also next door if need be.

 

plenty of pubs in the town by the railway station also that serve plenty of ales..

You can park in the industrial 

estate just before BAFC if early enough…

some park on the grass on the edge of the roads also..

also beech pub, they charge a small fee as does a car park just on the island.. (usually a steward there at the gates)

It was more about people who have held a season ticket since 2014 vs someone who picked one up in say 2018. They are 200 points behind by default. Virtually impossible to make up that gap. And I am someone who has had a ST since 2014 and I think it's wrong but as above, the club just refuse to change it as it works fine for most people apparently 

I'm something similar and had to "work hard" to catch up over the last 5-6 seasons.

But the Away ticket situation smacks a little of the Premier League, Football didn't exist before 1992

Aways only started in 2014!!  Well what about all the new younger fans that don't have 450/500 STH "Home" Points.  So only chance is games that go All STH's.....which may be 25% or less, is that fair?

Hundreds say it every season, its time to look at it again?  Additionally never understand WHY your ST gives you 50pts WHEN its AWAY priority points or you make an Away 2 or 3pts, so that going to ALL aways carry as much weighting as renewing your ST if not slightly more, an away is a much harder, more expensive, more committed process, so be rewarded for it.

I went to 11 Aways out of 24 total last season, so that should be worth about 45% of 50/55pts, its worth 11.  Mr Home STH goes to 1 Away game gets 51pts, thats wrong.

Don't even know what Home priority points are and mean to me an STH.

One for the Foxes Trust to be asking the club to be transparent and explain the thinking about the Away scheme and the points weighting?
