This isn't directed at you but on the topic of AST...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The thing that confuses me is that there were lots of complaints about the loyalty point scheme (it devalues season tickets) and in particular HSL (devalues STs and allows people to buy their way to the top) but the AST has exactly the same impact and there's hardly a peep. In fact, a big difference between the two is that instead of extra income going to Hibs, it is guaranteed income going to competitors regardless of whether our fans go or not.
For what it's worth I'm comfortable with either but when fan reaction defies logic it really shows what the club is up against.

Loyalty points could, I suppose, leave some season ticket holders with no chance of a ticket to these games, which isn't right (imho).
I don't think there is a solution that ticks all boxes for everyone, and the biggest issue is that folk will complain until the solution meets their specific needs.
I'm not fussed one way or the other, really - I only go to a handful of away games each season but have a season ticket. I would like to think that if I did fancy a derby at Tiny or away to Rangers or Celtic, that I would have a chance of going, though.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

As fans reps they should be pushing for them to be brought back, fans reps are supposed to be liaising with the club asking for what the fans want within reason. They shouldn't really be accepting No as an answer when a clear majority want them brought back.

I rarely go to away games but think a points system should be in place.

They are meant to be pains in the erse for the club to deal with, very much like union reps.

Fans reps get elected then go aw starry eyed as they rub shoulders with the board. Nowt against Frank but he must not be elected again.

Just agreeing with the board and not challenging them can’t be the way to go. In fact I reckon LD would welcome a challenge - any good manager I’ve worked for in the past welcomes it and thrives when being challenged.

Other clubs stagger ticket allocations using loyalty points.
First allocation to season ticket holders with greater than (say) 500 points.
Then season ticket holders with more than 250 points
...
Season ticket holders with less than 50 points.
Then non-season ticket holder with greater than 500 points.
etc. etc.
It would make buying ticket for big games far less stressful and avoid IT meltdowns with everyone trying to get on at once.
The opposition to loyalty points is Neanderthal

And if the news about some poor bugger having their tickets cancelled due to a double booking is true then we surely have to look at the points coming back.

2. The poll question doesn’t appear use any language designed to persuade anyone to vote in a particular way
3. The vote had just short of 1,500 votes. That supporters club will have less than 50 members and not all of them will even have Twitter. Of the 1500 votes you’ll be lucky if 20 of them actually came from members of the supporters club. In other words you could completely ignore all the votes that come from their members and you’d still have an 80-20 split.

I don't get this whole "we tried loyalty points once, you all moaned about it, therefore we're NEVER DOING IT AGAIN and you'll all just have to do the lottery thing" argument from the club.
Some people moaned about loyalty points. EVERYONE moans about the current system yet nothing is done about it.

Why can we not have a ballot system for the away games likely to see out and the club try to ensure they meet as much demand as possible.
If you apply for all 6 you might get to see 3. If you apply for both Hearts games most will get to see one of them. Some of those applying for all 6 may not get to Tynecastle as with some who only appy for Tynecastle might miss out
If you do miss out and apply next season you are top of the list.

For me it has to simply be about season tickets and away games. And as an out of town supporter that would actually disadvantage me as I often use the PATG option for away games.
No points for having a season ticket, although season ticket holders get priority, and no points for anything else (such as HSL, merchandise, etc.).
Don't get the 200 points for this, 50 points for that either. 1 point for an away game - and that's it.
Let the scheme run for a year, to see who goes to away games, then implement it at the start of the following season.

The poll seems to suggest that it's not the overwhelming majority that want loyalty points back that many on here suggest..
