On previous pages, I said it's a "fairer" system, not that it's "fair".
Like any system, people will game it until it's changed. If that continues to happen, there'll be an amendment of the process.
I don't agree with buying tickets you're not going to just for the points. I reckon ultimately that'll be tightened up on and you'll be required to prove attendance on the point will be revoked. No doubt that'll raise complaints too.
It is fairer now purely compared to the previous situation where someone who went home, away and abroad went into an open ballot with someone that ticked the "semi and finals" box only and both having the same chance of a Hampden ticket previously. It is now a fairer system with the tiered bands.
You're kinda arguing two points here on top of your "loyalty" thing from travelling now.
If someone has a ST, goes to all the games and buys a few programmes, RTV or the likes, they'll comfortably be in silver and have a decent chance at a reasonably fair split of away ticket allocations compared to previous situations where RSCs hoovered up large chunks and distributed them as they saw fit to their members.
What is guaranteed is that whatever the system, someone would find a moan about it.
People can say it's not fair, or even argue that simply they don't like it but again for XY and Z reasons but
