    Hello my friends.
    I have a season ticket for this year and intend to visit many an away day and Hopefully Europe If I can get there
    I just have a few Puzzling questions you seasoned vets may help with

    1 Does anyone know of a good company to travel down to games with or is it better to travel with my ST buddy would you say

    2 How is Europa league going to work? Is it accumulated Loyalty Points
    Im intending on takeing time off work to visit who ever we pull in the Play off (not a clue where this will be)

    Help a brother out here

    The Back Page (Stowell St) put coaches on for all the away games. Tickets go on sale to Season Ticket holders first, then to Members, and then if there's any left they go on sale to the general public. We have great away support and not many (if any) tickets go on general sale.

    Europa games should probably be easier to get tickets for, especially the less glamourous ones, due to the cost of both the ticket and the travel. Being a season ticket holder though you shouldn't be too worried about getting any tickets you want, barring the likes of Man U, Sunderland, Arsenal and the other highly desirable ones. Have to get in early for those. Europa may be difficult if we get a tiny allocation or are away somewhere like Inter, other than that should be ok.

    What the Loyalty Point system? Is it you need certain points to go to certain games so like. 5 home = a category 1 match or something?
    Im really in the dark I just know im paying 62 quid and cant wait till the 18th

    Loyalty points I believe you get for every away ticket you buy on your season ticket/membership. You get one per ticket. Generally it's used to get priority to buy the most popular away tickets (Such as Man U away may only be on sale to members with 40 Loyalty points, then limit drops to 20, then to general ST holders (with less than 20 points), then to Members, then General sale if any tickets are left.). Unless for some reason or other the match is in extremely high demand, I doubt you'll need loyalty points to be able to get a ticket.

    Starts of at more than 40 for the likes of Man Utd and the Mackems.

    Just an example though, not sure of the exact figures. I'm guessing Mackems is the hardest match to get a ticket for? Shortest travel, low (compared to manure) allocation and obvious other reasons?

    You're paying £62 for a season ticket?

    1 loyalty point per away game. For Sunderlsnd you need about 30 at least, it starts at 100+.

    Europe will be easier but you may have to register your flight and hotel details before getting a ticket. Most English clubs have started doing this.

    Somebody's stolen a sombrero belonging to one of the posters, I don't suppose you brought a spare one back with you?

    A month that should have been. Not too bad seats either gallowgate near the pitch

    The away games I'm interested in are City, United, Possibly Fulham and Maybe Southampton to see the ex (two birds one stone)
    Just got to hope I get weekends off

    Ive only ever been away in the Championship season and to Leeds for last years pre-season

    City and United may be tricky, may have to get lucky and hope they go on ST holder sale before they all run out, and if they do, be prepared to buy them the first day they're available. Other two should be ok though.

    Think it might have been more, I know that I didn't have the original amount, which I was very pissed off with.

    I've been to every home and away game for quite a while so I got one easily enough, but it was just one ticket per person.

    Police escort to and from the SOL and noisy buggars on the top deck jumping up and down and almost caving the foor in, I was expecting one or two of them to drop on my head.

    The atmosphere at the SOL is rubbish on top of everything else.
