All very true and there will always be individual examples where it's not overly "fair". The counter argument is that a guy who started going at the start of the season is in the same boat as the guy who attended virtually every game the previous season if we get a big draw. I think I assumed that they'd just accumulate over (as they did until a couple of days ago). Fair enough I suppose but Reading's loyalty scheme has been going for ages and no points have ever been cancelled. I suspect the majority of the top two divisions are similar but I don't actually know.
Mate at works a chelski fan, pretty sure theirs roll back at some point during the season to the current seasons only. Though theirs is a lot more intricate than our 15 for home/10 for away They get more points for unpopular midweek games than the plum games so if you want tickets to a CL away game you have to turn up for the dire midweek ones. |

Controversial, but there is an argument for cancelling the Boxing Day matches. I mean there is no public transport and surely people can't be arsed leaving their warm food and drink filled houses to go and watch a match in fucking Walsall!

Think that's a bit conservative... I know times change, but traditionally, your average bloke was desperate to get away from the missus, outlaws etc after a days incarceration on Christmas Day....football neatly fitting the bill, although obviously not at the CG for Town fans. |

Boxing Day games are solely for the home clubs, really. Home fans seem quite keen to escape the house |

I'd love to go to Boxing Day football, but this year is my 9th Christmas working in the last 11 fucking years.
Ho ho ho!
