Kanye, you already know whyDevil's dick advocaat. Why do you think it's fair?
I drive to Ibrox and park in the Albion so the club gets an extra £250 a year from me for that
Why should I not have as much access to away tickets as you do?
I'm not having a go at RSC'S at all here they are wonderful but I think with the demand for away tickets it's not right that some folk get double the chances cos they choose to travel on a bus.
I really wish we went back to the old way
Start of the season you are given the games and payment dates, then post split your given them.
The amount of times the last couple of years you get an email on the friday with the cash to be out the Monday/Tuesday is unreal.
I also agree with Empire re RSC + CCCS, I can actually see in the future it being CCCS only and RSC Allocations stopping altogether for a variation of reasons which IMO would be the best outcome.
And before any RSC guys start on me, I ran and still help a RSC out, just my opinion.
No offense mate but IMO it should be capped and a waiting list to get in - you get in once someone leaves, otherwise we’ll end up with hardy any tickets eachI’m hoping to sign up next season as this my first season with a season ticket. There’s pros and cons of the system. Pros are it’s giving mostly everyone a chance of going to an away game. Cons are it doesn’t reward loyalty and you can sometimes get unlucky with some of the games you are picked for.
If a loyalty scheme is in place then it makes it near impossible for new members to be able to go to away games and it would be the same folk going to every game.
If that ever happened the backlash would be unrealDoubt it ...
That was with a couple of Kilmarnock games when we had both stands, 2 cup games and a league game with both stands. Now that is cut, could seriously be looking at 2 max. I had 6 two years ago, 4 last season and looking like 1 or 2 next season.3 Mac was 4 last season so increased number could see it 2/3

The only way they can feasibly do that is if a travel club type away scheme is implemented - can’t see it happening.
However, wouldn’t be surprised if RSC allocation is cut to 20% or 25%
SR said it wont be happening last time the RSCWG met with him
Thats what a reckon only 3 this season was told membership went from 11k to 14k this seasonYou will probably get 3 games if your lucky this season. No doubt membership has swelled since last years new Broomy ST holders are now eligible and reductions in both Celtic and Kilmarnock games have fecked everything up!
the points need to be put forward -The main take from this is our demand is too high and we will never please everyone.
On this last I heard they are pushing for the 5% ?Numbers on the away scheme are probably at a record high, coupled with celtic and killie allocations being cut.
It’s already a nightmare getting buses on the road but can honestly see them cutting it.
Yeah I can see that also I’m lucky to be in the position that only game I missed last season was Celtic in March due to RSC, and knowing people in hospitality but it’s a struggle and numbers are simply too bigThat was with a couple of Kilmarnock games when we had both stands, 2 cup games and a league game with both stands. Now that is cut, could seriously be looking at 2 max. I had 6 two years ago, 4 last season and looking like 1 or 2 next season.
the points need to be put forward -
RSC's are the best distribution for it, via a points system for attendance through the bus or another method of travel with the RSC to the fixture.
CCS alone - waiting game and if you cant be bothered you pass it on
( unless its Celtic of course )
" the demand talk " for me is just a distraction from the facts
The vast majority of fans are not in RSC's so it isn't the best distribution for it. You can't say that.
The CCCS isn't perfect either but I'm not sure what else can be done to improve the whole thing.
It's an emotive issue and a minefield for the club.

Difference between the majority of fans and the fans that actively attend away fixtures though.
RSCs on it provide the best distribution method
Speaking from my own RSC we work on a point system that rewards those that go week in week out obviously respect all may not work that way but I’d imagine most do.The club were looking at introducing a fee for joining the Away CCCS. Not sure when or if it’s happening. They feel that would take away some of the numbers. Their words, not mine.
Also agree that RSC’s are not the best way of distributing tickets. There is no traceability of who tickets go to. RSC’s shouldnt be ever in a position of playing god as to who gets tickets or not. That should be the club and the club only.
It is a subject where nobody will ever all agree which is why blanket statements like yours about RSC's being the best distribution isn't helpful.Speaking from my own RSC we work on a point system that rewards those that go week in week out obviously respect all may not work that way but I’d imagine most do.
It is a subject that’ll never get everyone agreein 100% though

Sorry, I respect your opinion on things as someone who runs an RSC but that is nonsense. You are only looking after your own interest and not the wider fan base who don’t use RSC’s and are in the Away CCCS

Sounds like you have a well run RSC where your tickets go to the right people. I believe you but there's absolutely nothing to prove that is the case for you or any others.
Need to chat to Eddie at the TO.That’s a handful of guys on my RSC who signed up to away cccs yet on the confirmation it says they didnt sign up for it.
The ticket office are a disgrace at times

For those that run a points based system RSC - are the points reset to 0 at the start of each season ? If you apply and are unsuccessful do you get a point ?
Same thing happened to my mrs. Signed up to all except friendlies and on the confirmation says she signed up to none. Yet she had an email confirming that she'd already updated her card details.

Our RSC operates in a similar way however that still has problems. The first away game last year was Aberdeen away. We had around 30 members in the ballot for tickets who didn't get one through the CCCS and only 6 tickets to be distributed. The 6 that were then chosen in the ballot got the points and then were able to stay ahead of everyone else as they were pretty much guaranteed tickets for the rest of the games apart from Celtic. Those who weren't able then really struggled for the rest of the season as they were always behind on points, just because they missed out on the ballot for the first game.
