United do it so they can get round the Premier League rule of away fans being charged the same as home fans for a similar spec.

I know this happens but it isn't the reason why. The membership came in years before any discounted tickets. Although you could get in the Stretford groundside with a membership and it was 20p cheaper than Stretford Paddock which was open to anyone.

Fair enough. I've obviously been in the away end at Old Trafford a few times though, and I pay £27 a year for my "Light membership" (which gives no benefits other than access to tickets which is all I want) at Liverpool because I've got no choice in the matter. I reckon I've therefore been ripped off by both clubs membership schemes. That's the reason why I'm not a fan of them at all, which is the primary reason for my disdain for the Wires one!

As with football, the only thing I really buy from Wires is entry to matches, so unless the membership starts to offer a benefit there then I see no reason to join it when access to all games is easy.

have you not noticed? there's been no speak since the survey of changing matchday, this membership has been dressed up as this great thing, we're all going to be one big family etc, You wait till it's announce we're playing home games on friday, or when the fixtures come out, backlash, BIG TIME.

Trust me on this games will not be moving to Fridays (apart from Sky matches, of course ).

I would like to suggest that the club start addressing the issues on the pitch. Start getting the right results on the pitch & gimmicks won't be needed.

Can't understand what's so great about the membership scheme. I don't see the point in it at all.

It is to do with building loyality points during the season to get discounts off the shop/food and drink etc. I think its a good idea and supports the club.

Re: Membership 2016 : Mon Sep 14, 2015 6:59 pm  

If this is the case, as a season ticket holder. how will this be of any benefit to us, other than maybe given early information of signings?

Re: Membership 2016 : Mon Sep 14, 2015 8:35 pm  

Previously you were either a fan who bought tickets match by match and received no benefits, no priority on tickets, or a season ticket holder that did.

Even at the £15 membership level you will soon get that money back;

£10 off a home league match ticket, £5 off selected items, loyalty points, and if you go Magic Weekend 50% off your ticket is a big saving.

As a season ticket holder I will be glad to not be carrying around a full ticket book any more. I'm sure there will be information on loyalty points, and any sponsor offers soon.

I don't buy any of that stuff. I still support the club.

So maybe worth it if yo go to the magic weekend and buy a load of stuff from the shop. It should say what these selected items are likely to be. Also, I'm sure it's not difficult to get 50% magic weekend tickets without having a membership/season ticket.

Is there any information on what how the loyalty points work and what they can be spent on? Also what are the sponsor offers?

I don't think I'll be getting a season ticket next season. I've missed too many games through kick off time changes for it to be worth it. Match by match for me next season I think.
