RTV for the domestic Product RTV is 25 points for the season and doesn’t include any games. the international version is 40 points for the season with all the games available but that will work out less then 1 point per game for big outlay (roughly £240 though MyGers gets you a month off). we address the points being less in the webinar. As we have switched from a points on application to a points on purchase those eligible for the points has diminished and where points are more limited in their availability we will be looking to bring the points down so that the reward of getting the ticket is balanced off with getting the MyGers points - that’s why the OF away game is worth zero loyalty as we could sell that allocation 20 times over without any effort. the away euro points being less was something that was heavily debated and I appreciate anyone who holds a different opinion on where we have came down on. in relation to seat sub, that came from the focus groups involving fans based further away (we had a NI specific one for instance). Some games travel is not available or kick off times prohibitive also we didn’t want to punish fans who have further to travel. This also allows things like a holiday to be booked before the season is out and a fan can know that it isn’t going to be detrimental to them. I think personally it’s one we need to keep an eye one and maybe we have to put a limit on the number of times it could be used in a season for instance but I believe in the principles behind it and they were tested in many many focus groups. No really selling it to me tbh mate. I've bought for us 2 but its because what the support do. Disappointed in the club for it but we've been here since forever and will continue to be but the club really need to take the away support who've done this from 2012 and beyond. I hope it works as I hope everything the club does but it's a boot in the balls.

ForeverAndEver 71,480 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Mate, I get your point on the webinar on the seat sub getting the same points, but if boys go at the arse end of the season, similar to the last few when it’s over and others canny be arsed and get the same points, surely that’s shite? @Louden_Greg RFC55 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As alluded to we could set a limit on the number of times it can be used in a season. a good example on that one is the tour - you can only earn points on that once a season.

Aye but why are you rewarding people for monies spent when some of the boys who go that I know spend every penny extra between the season ticket and away games. Mate you're punishing the loyal rather than awarding. Why would UK based guys need RTV when they attend almost every game?

I think that is not fair. On MyGers we had around 20 focus group meetings with fans. You can disagree with the outcome of it but the reasoning behind each decision within MyGers has sound logic. But it will be tested in practise. One Jock Wallace 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
