That depends on how you are measuring ‘deserving’?

I would say that in my opinion, someone attending 1 game isn’t as deserving as someone attending 23, 15, 10 etc…and that’s the issue, the club haven’t addressed that.

Just like me attending 5 away games last season make me less deserving than the fans who attended 10/15 and there’s a points system to back that up.

Anyway, genuine congrats to those who were lucky enough, certainly isn’t their fault and hopefully I’ll get mine on Monday.

100%

Like I said, I get it, particularly from a revenue point of view and to capture the future ITFC fans. I just don't think that they've quite got that balance right.

Am old enough to have seen us play in the PL and Europe but sadly for my lad, the last 2 seasons aside, he's only seen the bad times.

Anyway, i'll do my best to secure a couple on Monday :)

I understand how a ballot works.

If I am truthful, I just feel annoyed that my lad (more than me) may miss out on a ticket and felt that the club should have done better with how they rewarded members last season. There's a point system for away games, but nothing for home.

Anyway, I understand why they've done it this way (£££) but doesn't mean I can't feel a little bit sorry for myself :-)

Same here. Me and my lad did 23 games last season (21 league games) and nothing from the club so assume we were unsuccessful.

Now a lottery as to whether I'll be placed high enough in the queue on Monday as to whether we'll get them.

I've never had a season ticket, but I have attended a minimum of 10-15 home games a season for the last 25 years and usually 4-5 away games. Not to have a season ticket was my choice so I that's on me and is my own fault for not realising sooner that this might happen should one day we make the Premier League.

I'd love to attend more away games but I am firmly in the camp that loyalty should be rewarded, that's why I've never complained about not getting away tickets to more local/attractive away fixtures.

But loyalty for attending home games should be rewarded as well. Fortunately, I am old enough to remember the Burley Premier League years but I am more annoyed that (the last 2 years aside), my lad has had to watch McCarthy/Hurst and Lambert ball and may miss out on watching the best players in the world.

There's a points priority for away, perhaps they should have considered doing one for home games.

Really disappointed with this set up.

Me and my lad did 23 home games (league & cup) last season and now fall in to the same category as someone who attended just 1 game. How have they not thought to add at least another tier for people that attended say 10+ games?

I get that they needed to do something for the next generation of fans but can't see that this is the answer.
