This is how the ticket loyalty season works. The thresholds for this season are fixed for Priority 1 (68 points) and Priority 2 (43 points). There is no intention to change this during the season so that a certain number of people are in each category. What counts towards points are purchases last season and this season. You continue to earn points this season so if you currently do not have enough to qualify for Priority 2 you could later in the season. The only way to lose any points this season is through the ticket resale process, so once you've in a Priority group you'll more than likely stay there. Giving your ticket to someone else or donating back to the club will not lose you points as you've still paid for the ticket. Points are earned on purchases, not attendance. If you had a season ticket last season and this season that gives you 46 points (less any ticket resales you may have received at 1 point per sale). The rate you accrue points is as per the OS article. Next season will be based on this season's purchases plus whatever you continue to buy next season so you'll lose any points relating to 2025/2026 that you currently have.

Go to more away matches if priority really matters. Most games we have enough away tickets. After a few experiences at Bromley and coney hall, im quite happy to sit in the local pub in worcester park and watch the Bromley game Monday drinking cruzcampo sevilla orange beer.

Naz, reading the article here [Link] I think ST holder refers to this season but any extra points are taken from last season. It matches my tally of 55. ST holder - 23 points. Home games - 23 points. Away games - 6 points. Home cup games - 2 points. Women's game - 1 point.

Naz - I was assuming that a ST holder starts the season with 23 points for their ST - though that would suggest a ST holder for this and last season would start with 46 points and in Priority 2 - needing 22 more points to make Priority 1.

Re the loyalty scheme - it’s not clear to me if the 1 point for a home league game is added or not if you are already a season ticket holder. I presume not but does anyone know?

I think I played at West Street once in a midweek game, so that means I might have played under those lights!

Those floodlights ended up at Epsom & Ewell's West Street ground. Not sure if they were moved on or scrapped when the ground was closed in 1993?

One good thing about the Monday night is that it does give us three training days after a presumed rest yesterday. We have some time to work on tactics and gameplay in that. We also do not have to travel the day before.

I'm in priority 2 and the purchase was seamless.

That's when I was last at Bromley Meadow and I don't think I've ever left a match as angry as I did that day because of those cheats. Ryan Hall and lobbing Pullen instead of giving the ball back sums that club up. I couldn't get a ticket last year despite the number of games I go to but managed to this time as I'm in Priority 1. Incidentally, in case anyone is unaware, you need 68 points to be in Priority 1 and 43 points to be in Priority 2. You can be "promoted" into a higher priority as any points you earn this year count for this year's priority ranking. Next season, anything you earned in 2025-2026 is removed and it is based on this season and next. I know this as Luke in the ticket office confirmed it to me.

New 9yrspodcast up now with reaction to a mixed week: a first league goal and win against Wigan; some promising recruitment at the end of the transfer window; but then a most disappointing humbling at Burton Albion. Stu and I pick the bones out of both games, and question if our recruitment has left us with more problems than solutions. There’s also all the usual alongside that, including The 50.1% Club, Room 101, a look around results and fixtures in the third tier, and a quick preview of next Monday’s most anticipated return to Hayes Lane.

I followed the Burton match on Fotmob as I was at work. Despite that I booked a Bromley ticket today as I'm on leave next week. I hope I don't regret it.

Lurker - clearly we are not paying the going rate

I would have faith in the team to know whether Forss was a viable option or not and if so to have investigated it if they felt he was a good fit for the squad.

We won't ask

MPH,- good shout, even if it was until January, he'd be in the shop window and kick-start his career again. Nothing to lose as you say, don't ask want yadda yadda

What's to be lost by "them in charge" contacting Forss's agent and saying come train with us and see if there is some chemistry between us that could result in a contract?

Just took a look at the L2 table (I know - only 4 games in) but kinda sad to see Port Vale at the bottom with 0 wins from their 4 games. If my very quick search is right they haven’t been non-league since 1919.

A motivated Browne and a consistently fit Stevens are good additions to the squad if those two things can happen. I keep having to remind myself that we have kept two clean sheets already in a high scoring division. But folding like we did last night was not good viewing.

Six attacking/forward players who were permanent signings have left our club in calendar year 2026. Two attacking/forward players that are permanent signings have joined our club in this period, one is currently injured. Forss would be great, if only. So i suppose we'll have to get by until browne and stevens return from injury to reinforce us and it wouldn't surprise me if we get bugiel on loan in the january window.

Surrey fightback on

Lurker - "Or are you proposing we kidnap players and illegally intimidate them into signing contracts?". Aren't we allowed to do that then?

Forss and Stockley as our front two and 5-3-2 might work

Although I notice Forss is still without a club. If there’s any muscle memory of what he could be at this level left in there he’d be good for anyone in league one.
