I have a friend who uses another friend's ST for aways - as initially only ST got credits. The STH doesn't go now (kids).
So it sounds like my friend who does go would be left high and dry.
Early days I know and I support some changes. But I know this is quite common, with many of the flag lads etc gong on others STs. Yet they all pay face value, they are bought through linking on friends and family, and the same people go to many games.
I would really feel for these guys as they would suddenly be stuck and I am sure would miss aways!
I know they have to change things, but I wondered.
Re. closed shop issues - couldn't they have a % for a ballot for each game? I would be GUTTED (having built mine up to 19 through going to all games since 2001/2 if they were taken away from me for a new system. Never sold one on. It has cost thousands, and I know a lot are in the same situation. I hope they still do something loyalty based and not have a ballot for everything like United.
But i know they will never please everyone.....
