It's impossible for the club to have a system that keeps everyone happy but that's an absolute pisser for me.
I have two sons living in Glasgow who go to literally every game they can but these are not sufficient to have 300+ points. The only game we played when they were down for Christmas was Huddersfield away and they insisted on going. Despite growing up in Glasgow for 12 years they've resisted the temptation of Premiership clubs or the likes of Rangers/Celtic. I'm absolutely gutted I won't be able to go to this game with them and, unless I can conjour something up, they (or me) may not go at all.
At the start of the season, it was pretty clear we were going to have a difficult season and we had many fans rejoicing in telling us they weren't renewing their season ticket. Now, the loyalest fans who renewed despite knowing it was going to be shit find they have virtually no advantage over these people who walked away from the club at the first sign of a season when we were going to struggle.
I can see the argument about why should mates of season tickets get priority but, in reality, many of the +1's will be members with significant points rather than total daytrippers and the season ticket holders have been given sod all for their commitment.
Not saying I won't renew next year but have gone from definite to considering my options.
