Colchester Update

[smirny72]

I received this email this morning just thought id share with you for information. Fingers crossed now eh

We are in the middle of sorting through our data on season ticket holders and away travelers. We are obviously going to try and sort out as many fans as we can with a fair and straight forward process. We are hoping to make a decision in the next few days on how to move forward and we will announce the news as soon as we can. The website will have the first update of news so if you have access it will be the best place to find the information.



Regards

Cheers.

Spoke to Bryan Shaw on Saturday and he still hadn't been informed of what was going on.

The way that email is written is that people with X amount of away games (10?) on their ID card will be informed they are eligible?

Whichever way they do, there are going to be plenty of pissed off people (i.e. people buying tickets on other people's behalf)

[smirny72]

sounds that way to me too. Unfortunately I dont think I will get one even though I have been to more than 10 away games and all home games which is a 4hr journey each way for me and gang. If it is first come first served I think not living up there will be a disadvantage but thats life Good Luck everybody hope it is done fairly and all we can do is wait now

[knowles]

Good on you for making the effort to so many games. Although I have been to every match this season- the database says I have been to 10. Fingers crossed I'm OK!

One mooted idea which was dismissed was a voucher for all those that attended Norwich away (351). This would have been a good start in my eyes

[fullerlegend]

haven't we got a big screen at brit?

[monkeycat]

Have we had more than 800 at 10 matches?

[smirny72]

Its people like yourself who actually deserve especially going every game. Good luck mate. I hope Mabel and her family get one too they are people who deserve it too. Whichever way they do it there are going to be a few upset people but you cant please all of the peolple all of the time hey.

It says on the system I've been to 9 (I've been to 13), but crucially maybe it says I am not a ST holder when I am! I'm worried that could also count against me!

[RAF]

Don't worry, I'm not a ST holder and I have been told I have got a ticket if I want one.

[robin1302]

on what condition is that? the amount of games you've been too? or because you know someone who works there?

[visunitafortior]

I have secured a deal with an unnamed source and have 60 tickets for sale. Will sell face value to whoever exhalts me the most from now till the match.

[RAF]

Both, that's why I know I can get one.
The thing is I can't go to the Colchester match anyway, so my ticket will be going to someone just as deserving.

what is the required number of games then? because I'm going up to the Brit later to sort it out if I'm lower than it on the system

How would you say deserving? Are people who go to every home game and not many away less deserving than those who go tomore away games than home? What about people on very low incomes who go whenever they can afford to and make plenty of sacrafices along the way. I think first come first served one ticket per person mad rush to the ticket office and a camp out the night before.

I've always thought you were a cracking youth H.

Great golfer as well.

[robin1302]

all my income has been spent on Stoke this season, with being a student and not having much income, I just hope to god I can get hold of one

[Done it for scfcbuxton]

How do you how many you've got on the system. The problem is when somebody buys tickets for more than one person they only register the one ID card therefore whoever buys the tickets gets noted as attending but the others don't. The 4 or 5 of us that go away games will only get the 16 or so games we've been spread between us. The club will get a lot of irate people who are more frequent followers than they think.

In light of this I usually shove my card under to get scanned, little bastard aren't I, but I haven't been the last few games so someone else will be picking up the games.

[RAF]

I have been told if you have been to 10 or more away games this season then you will get priority.

How would you say deserving?

Sorry that did sound a bit wank.
The club are rewarding people firstly who have travelled away most this season, therefore my ticket is going to someone who hasn't done as many , but that is down to the fact they have been extremely ill and are just getting better.

DaveF fucking hell mate I have never seen such transparency! ;D
Anyway you don't deserve it because you missed Watford to play golf you fucking part timer (well that's what Smudge said anyway!)

Although I reckon they should have massive scrap in the car park and the last 800 standing should get the tickets. ;D

As one of the 351 I think this idea is the best yet!! ;D

EDIT: Just read that properly and it's been dismissed. Bollocks.......

[Done it for scfcbuxton]

Just logged onto scfcdirect.com and looked at my account history, thought I'd use my own initiative to find out how you know what the system says and it says I've been to 4 away games when in fact I've been to 11, including the non-ID, non-ticket Carling Cup game at Rochdale that nobody will have on there. Luckily I keep all my stubs so these will be presented if I can enough money together to be able to purchase a ticket BUT there were to stubs given out at Rochdale so I'll just have to make sure they know I went

[smirny72]

scfc direct wont let me view how many ive attended says email not right for some unknown reason although it tells me where i live and im a ST.

I always thought he comes across as a zobbing gayer!

[RAF]

OI DB, you're not having it either, even with those silver tongued undertones!

H ;D

[knowles]

Yeah Prestwich, that would have been the best idea to me. It would mean the 351 were given tickets and then the other 550 or so tickets would go to the other loyal supporters on the database?!

I'd rather be in Belgium! ;D

[basingstokie]

I'm sort of resigned to not getting a ticket, I've been to a few away games this year, but living in South means I can't go everywhere.

If I do get one, it'll be a bonus
