I see Argentina (or at least their new prime minister/president) is increasing their rhetoric on the Falkland Islands and hoping to use an expert deal-maker to help them get it without throwing thousands of their young men to die like last time they tried.

Anyone going to a game tomorrow? I might go for a local FA Cup tie

I too blame Arteta for breaking Rambo but other managers are obviously seeing something there as well which sees him gradually losing favour and first keeper status.

What happened to Rambo? Arteta really didn't manage him well, did he?

DO - maybe that’s it, I don’t know - but it would be nice if there was a simple way for us to see… for example, why can’t it be displayed and itemised on our ticketing account somewhere?

sorry - 3 fewer, not 3 less!

A4e - possibly you have 69 points and he has 3 less - 66 - as he did not go to Cardiff. Presumably you both went to other away games and/or home cup games which earnt you both points to add to the 46 you'd each have from your STs?

My experience of IT projects and tweaking systems, even if it is just to view data that already exists, is it is far more involved than the end user may think. The current process may involve extracting data from tables and dumping it into something else. Then you have ti categorise that data between the various tariffs the club have come up with to end up at a total. To then turn that into something customer facing and bespoking a ticketing system that struggled to start with is not something I'm holding my breath for.

DO, from the OS. "We are also working with our ticketing provider on ensuring supporters can view loyalty point status on their ticketing account.".

Explain this - if the thresholds are as follows, Priority 1 (68 points) and for Priority 2 (43 points), how come I’m P1 and my son is P2 when literally the only difference between us last season is that I went to Cardiff away and he didn’t - did my Cardiff away trip really create the 25 points difference between us…? Do we get issued with a personal breakdown of how our points were accumulated, and if so, where can we find this information?

It would assist greatly if on each ticket account, it stated the current loyalty points and Tier. Club has this info on the system - surely not too difficult to make it viewable?

I see Ramsdale is now Saints' 4th choice keeper - behind George Long amongst others!

So, if you give the ticket back FOC/as a donation to the club, you keep your points, but on the (very few) occasions the club offer a resale and you take that up, you lose your priority point(s)?

Thanks all.

Afternoon all. TM - I did a Bromley PSF (where they beat Palace 3-0) and to be fair it's a lot neater and less manky than it used to be. Except the away terrace hasn't changed much...

One obvious way to accrue more loyalty points if you are close to a threshold is to buy a few cheap tickets for women's games, whether you turn up or not. The club won't care as they'll get money they otherwise would not have received and the supporter will be eligible for tickets they previously weren't.

Bromley experience was awful. think they're a bit better now and have done fair bit to their stadium

This is how the ticket loyalty season works. The thresholds for this season are fixed for Priority 1 (68 points) and Priority 2 (43 points). There is no intention to change this during the season so that a certain number of people are in each category. What counts towards points are purchases last season and this season. You continue to earn points this season so if you currently do not have enough to qualify for Priority 2 you could later in the season. The only way to lose any points this season is through the ticket resale process, so once you've in a Priority group you'll more than likely stay there. Giving your ticket to someone else or donating back to the club will not lose you points as you've still paid for the ticket. Points are earned on purchases, not attendance. If you had a season ticket last season and this season that gives you 46 points (less any ticket resales you may have received at 1 point per sale). The rate you accrue points is as per the OS article. Next season will be based on this season's purchases plus whatever you continue to buy next season so you'll lose any points relating to 2025/2026 that you currently have.

Go to more away matches if priority really matters. Most games we have enough away tickets. After a few experiences at Bromley and coney hall, im quite happy to sit in the local pub in worcester park and watch the Bromley game Monday drinking cruzcampo sevilla orange beer.

Naz, reading the article here [Link] I think ST holder refers to this season but any extra points are taken from last season. It matches my tally of 55. ST holder - 23 points. Home games - 23 points. Away games - 6 points. Home cup games - 2 points. Women's game - 1 point.

Naz - I was assuming that a ST holder starts the season with 23 points for their ST - though that would suggest a ST holder for this and last season would start with 46 points and in Priority 2 - needing 22 more points to make Priority 1.

Re the loyalty scheme - it’s not clear to me if the 1 point for a home league game is added or not if you are already a season ticket holder. I presume not but does anyone know?

I think I played at West Street once in a midweek game, so that means I might have played under those lights!

Those floodlights ended up at Epsom & Ewell's West Street ground. Not sure if they were moved on or scrapped when the ground was closed in 1993?
