the only bit that is obviously annoying is that there is no concession between having a season ticket and attending 0 games - i hope to christ if we get playoffs and to playoff final it is not organised like this this season i have amassed 130 points 8 of them being away games.
yet there is no reward why not have a phase 8? of 100+ points would seem a bit fairer, northern based addicks who attend all our matches up that way have no more priority then joe bloggs who hasn't attended a game this season.
thought the points system would work - but clearly no better than last system we had.
The only way to prove if the system works or not is if people who've attended a number of games are unable to get a ticket,the system can be adapted depending on the amount of tickets allocated by the host club.

7 phases does sound a lot (too many?) already, but yes perhaps it would be fairer to have a 100 point category as well, though for a game like this it's unlikely that someone would go without previously going to any other games
Maybe it would be simpler if they shifted VG up to the next level i.e.
Phase1 300 + VG Phase 2 300 or 260 + VG Phase 3 260 or 230 + VG Phase 4 230 or VG Phase 5 100 Phase 6 general
im not doing oxford but my concern is the trip to gills the week after, anyone remember what sort of allocation we get? ive always managed to get a ticket in recent years but this time we are probably playing our best football so interest will be high - was hoping we could possibly relegate them but that does not look likely.
