Respecting the points

Just missed out on Spurs away tickets along with most of my pals, bar Full-Time Matt, as I've only got six priority points. Yes, it's probably the only fair way of allocating tickets, though it seems a bit of a Catch 22 situation in that you can now only get points for away games by attending away games, which you can't get to without enough points. 

We did wonder if the club would start awarding points for cultural events. If my fellow season-ticket holder Michael the Whovian was awarded tickets for theatre shows he'd be off the scale as he has an away season ticket for the West End. Maybe gigs could count? Will WHU give me points for seeing Nick Cave at the O2? Michael's Marc Almond gigs must be worth something as would Matt's hipster outings to the Camden Crawl, while Fraser probably saw Frank Sinatra perform Bubbles. Though my mate Nigel might have to be deducted points for seeing Status Quo.

As it is, I'm booked to see the Ian Dury musical Reasons to be Cheerful at the Stratford Theatre Royal the night of the Spurs game, so at least might get to meet Billericay Dickie. Never wanted to go to Wembley anyway…
