The McKenna/GC20 revolution and impact on Silver Members & long distance fan 05:53 - May 31 with 1302 views | LegendofthePhoenix | Obviously the change in ownership and management in 2021 is the best thing that's happened to our club in the last 20 years. However, as last season progressed it became clear that more and more fans wanted to attend not just home but away matches. Which is great of course, but it makes it very difficult if you are a Silver Member. I live at least a 3 hour drive from PR. Having been a Town fan since the late 60s, the only matches I struggled to get tickets for were (away) play-off games. But last season, with small allocations in League 1, it became common that tickets for away games were sold out before they got to sale for silver members. For many fans like me, it just isn't possible (or affordable) to buy a ST and get to all or most home matches. No doubt there are some long distance season ticket holders - and hats off to you. But with fuel at £100 a tank, and work commitments , buying a ST for most long distance fans isn't an option. Only Season ticket holders can get the enhanced ticket priority. I really hurt last season when I couldn't even buy tickets with Silver Membership for matches close to where I live as all had gone to those with "enhanced priority". My thoughts are that (i) Silver members should be able to get enhanced priority for a small number of away matches per season or (ii) that the club should sell a points-based ticket which can be used to attend a certain number of home matches and the option to buy a Gold Membership with enhanced ticket priority. Would many fans out there be interested in those? I can't be the only one in this situation. | |

Think all memberships etc will be overhauled for 22/23 season, Ashton said about it all at the fans forum. I reckon they’ll do a points thing. I done something I said I’d never do yesterday and purchased a gold card, as did a couple of mates. | |

My worry this season is that if we are not able to get onto the website at 10am on the day away tickets become available, they will all be sold out. With so many people wanting to go to games now and some league 1 teams offering so few tickets, it’s going to be a nightmare getting tickets even with a gold card! | | | |

I was going to suggest this. I bought a ST but doubt I'll buy a Gold Card, so he's welcome to do it on mine. | |

Surely they will limit the number of good cards sold, you’d hope. | |

I have a ST and a Gold Card. I doubt I will go to every away game (otherwise I'd have bought the Ultimate Card) The issue, I have, is 'lending' my Gold Card to someone I don't know who is 'representing' me. He/she causes an issue and I'm (possibly) penalised. | | | |

Just don’t lend it to someone next to Sitters, they always cause trouble | |

With some of the L1 ticket allocations, every ITFC fan will be sitting somewhere near Sitters... | | | |
