New membership schemes for this season (NCFC) - Jester, Jun 12, 06:21:01

    - yeah, it was pretty shitty to phase out benefits like that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 12, 09:50:55
  - It won’t guarantee a ticket. Only 1500 casual tickets for some homes (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 09:38:41
    - Well so what? (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 12, 16:12:18
  - The club can't know the answer to that (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 12, 09:30:54
    - 750 - "City have ring-fenced a priority group of 750 people that were either away season t (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 12, 09:37:05

        I can see exactly how many away tickets I purchased last year (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jun 12, 10:00:32
        
        yeah, financially it definitely makes no sense for the club to cap it (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 12, 09:43:55
      - "There will be no official cap on the number of memberships sold, although it is believed (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 12, 09:39:01
- so does this mean (NCFC) - Ghost Ship Belly, Jun 12, 09:23:04

      - They are still £50 worse off (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 09:45:00
        
        Ah right, my bad (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 12, 10:00:12

  - Agree - as I posted below, the implementation is wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 12, 08:26:27

      - Yes that’s the thing they’ve added at the last minute apparently if (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 08:45:29
    - Agreed Jim - history should have been built into the new system (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 12, 08:29:06
      - Should purely be done on away points & only points accrued by attending away matches (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Jun 12, 08:35:52
  - A bit in the wrong place there... (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jun 12, 08:25:55

- casual fan who pays £50 priority membership gets away ticks before season ticket holder... (NCFC) - biffbro, Jun 12, 08:05:40

  - Looks like how it is..... (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jun 12, 08:13:21

- Agree with some of the points below but I'm sure the club will have done their research (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Jun 12, 07:43:05
  - Only research they will have done is how many they think they can sell and (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 07:59:53
    - depends on how many games a non-season ticket holder can get to (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 12, 08:06:31
      - The home memberships are not the issue here (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 08:17:56

      - The season ticket priority for away games annoyed me yep... (NCFC) - JD3, Jun 12, 08:19:15
        
        That could have been fixed though quite easily (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 08:28:25
  - Doubt there’s a financial gain with cheaper casual prices? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jun 12, 06:52:44
    - Which they had to do anyway and not cheaper than last season really (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 06:57:28
      - What’s the comparison to a grade A prem club last time out... (NCFC) - loz, Jun 12, 06:58:18
        
        Point is they have to cap prices for away fans. Can hardly charge home fans more (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 12, 07:18:24

        hoorah for our legions of casual fans (NCFC) - Tombs, Jun 12, 07:28:06
        
        the increase in membership will make it more expensive for the more casual casual fan (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 12, 08:02:26
        
        Presumably there was some kind of consultation process ... (NCFC) - loz, Jun 12, 07:32:07
        
        There was, I did a reply to Jim above (n/m) (NCFC) - KentonCanary, Jun 12, 07:41:07
