Reply | away season ticket
at 15:18 19 Sep 2024
I don't have a season ticket but I'm currently on 39 away priority points. This was after deciding early on last season to commit to every league away game, which I've carried on for this season so far.
This suits me on the whole as living a long way from Ipswich it is easier to prioritise aways. Although I do try to get to 3 or 4 home games a season. |

Reply | The whole away ticket points system thing - is it fair?!

It is really only Norwich and London games where a high number of points is needed to get a ticket. 25+ points should be enough for Norwich and that means that you will have attended an average of 7/8 away games in each of the past two seasons (10 points comes from just having bought memberships in both years).
If Norwich away was earlier in the season then it would mainly just be points accumulated in the previous season that counted (so the points band required would be lower).
As said elsewhere, the main unfair aspect of the system is for those that did not have a membership last season. So although they may have been to several games they did not get points, despite the points system and membership requirement only being introduced subsequently. |

It would make it much more of a closed shop if they went significantly further back when counting away tickets. Younger fans would be blocked out because those who went to a decent number of games several years ago would continue to get priority.
The current system does allow newer/younger fans to get access to high demand away tickets relatively straightforwardly by building up points over 1 or 2 seasons only. This does however involve attending the lower demand away games that usually require more travelling.
Only counting the current and previous season means that if any regular away goer has a season not being able to attend matches for whatever reason then the following season they will be back with everyone else on very few points. There is definitely an argument for going back another season, but going much further back would greatly increase the closed shop nature of the system.
A ballot for a % of tickets is a reasonable suggestion. People close to the priority band where the other tickets sell out would however feel aggrieved that they are likely to miss out in the ballot to fans who may not have been to any recent away matches. |

Reply | North West / Greater Manchester Supporters Group

Several years ago there was a Northern Supporters Club, but I don't think that this has been active for some time.
I'm based just outside Greater Manchester and I know of a few others in the Manchester area who are Town fans. There are a number of northern based fans who go to the away games in the north where tickets tend to be easier to get hold of.
I'm not aware of any groups that meet in Manchester for TV matches, but if something was organised I may be interested in attending. |
