I have bags of admiration for people who support the team home and away.

I wish i could do it (as, i'm sure do countless other fans).

This year i have spent a massive chunk of the season shouting at the teletext screen from a dusty shithole in the middle east, when i would have loved to have been there in person with a pint in my hand.

Sometimes i think people dont realise quite how lucky they are to be able to get to see their beloved team home and away.

The people that really fuck me off tho are those that live nearby, HAVE the time, HAVE the finances, but cant be arsed to go until the big games come along.

So, can all the vitriol please be aimed at THEM!!

Thankyou.

it was nowt personal pal

You can't compare your own devotion to the club with others. I bet the you'll have bragged about having 38,000 people there on Saturday and that wouldn't have happened if the fairweather fans hadn't come out. The club needs these people and WHEN we get back into the Premier League a lot more will come back more often.

Have heard nothing so far. Then again there was one match that we didn't buy tickets for this season so part-timers like us probably don't deserve the chance...

I don't think that the issue is that some supporters are more (or less) deserving. It's just that you would think that the club would appreciate those who spend their time and money following the club. I can't blame anyone for wanting to support our team and good luck to everyone who is succesful getting tickets. I am simply saying that any good relationship is two-way.

Totally agree games like this should be done on loyalty points ,i have no issue with someone who has been to every away game getting a ticket before me ,but when someone who has been to one away game then emails on monday morning and gets a ticket before me i find that so very wrong....

No arguement bout people not affording to go but surely something has to be done to reward those first that travel the length of the country watching ,its wrong just my opinion which is bound to be wrong but i dont give a f%%k i am well pissed off by the stupid arsehole in charge of tickets...........

Sounds like they rightly ballsed this one up to be honest. It seems very unfair to go with early emails which only seemed to come about through the bush telegraph.

This is one that I agree with the fans. Loads of people who I've met at away games will not be at the game because of the ticketing policy. It's easy for me to say this as an away ST holder, but how do we know that the away ST rule will still be used next season.

I do agree with Cuppy about "All Leeds fans are equal" but some put in the effort of going to watch games and sometimes when you arrive home at 4.00am with work at 7.00am it does come into your head your sanity. It's too easy to not make the effort until theres a big game.

oh I agree with you, a lot of fans dont bother and only come out for the big games, they dont deserve any priority. Its more the long distance fans or those that really just dont have the money to be able to afford to go often. I see it from both sides

I agree with the arguments raised, im not saying that just cos i have a ticket(only found out 10 mins ago), there will be far more deserving fans than me including Eastyorks. I kept to the rules i believed existed, applied by email at 10-00, oh and 1 second. Confirmation received at 1004, as i say only just found out i had one thought id missed out. I had a second applicants name on the email not sure if there has been 2 issued mind, need to speak with the other person.

Completely agree with the arguments, even though it was me who started it, it would seem! Unfortunately, it shouldn't come as a surprise because it's being the same for a while now since Harvey and Bates decided to scrap the loyalty scheme.

Recieved my ticket through the post this morning, even though i haven't being to the majority of away games, when people like EastYorks has. However, on the other hand i go to as many away games as possible and would have done a lot more this season if it wasn't for work commitments (i'd have resigned if it wasn't paying for my season ticket anyway!). If i could afford to get to anymore games i would, but the minus numbers in my bank don't make pleasant reading as it is!

Still, it seems we'll be kept behind for 15 minutes after the game, making any chance of getting the last train impossible. With no SC in York, it's going to be a nightmare getting back - and i've got an exam the next day so should really be revising instead of trekking to Cumbria. If i can't source any transport EastYorks, i'll make sure i contact you first.

They don't get the demand anymore so only run coaches for the big games now, as i tried to use them for bournemouth away and ended up using harrogate branch.
