Following suggestions from supporters, the club is looking at potential ways to introduce our loyalty point system for the 2020/21 season.
As such, we would like to hold a consultation with fans to understand how we can most effectively and fairly reintroduce this programme. If this is something you would like to take part in, simply click here to fill in a form with your details.
The deadline for filling in the form is Sunday, October 4th with the club aiming to host the consultation on Thursday, October 8th.
The club will be in contact with those fans selected ahead of the time to confirm the details for a video call via Zoom.

I hope the Valley Gold committee, Fans forum & CAST are aware of this consultation & will have some input, also anybody else who has concerns about the Loyalty point scheme.

I fell asleep during it for 20 mins so I’ll lose some
I haven’t managed to buy a season ticket this season for personal reasons, but will be watching every game live as I have done so far. I held my season ticket for years, been to many, many aways but circumstances dictate right now.
I am also a Valley Gold member, which I think VG should have a certain amount of loyalty points each season too.
Why can’t people like me have extra points added on so we don’t miss out when we can eventually go back to matches?
Other than buying a lump sum season ticket, which many can’t do in these times, I feel I am just as worthy as the next fan.
We will watch nearly all games, home and away on VP. However as we have 3 sometimes 4, we would lose out if it was only 1 of us who got the loyalty points. Difficult one.
Certainly agree last season should be kept in tact with perhaps small allocation for streaming.
If they were going blue sky thinking, they’d come up with a way to recognise any spending done with the club e.g. in the club shop / hospitality, which would drive ancillary revenues.
i am more than happy if they provide the points from purchasing a stream. I have watched every game to date including the EFL Trophy and will stream every game this season that I cannot Physically attend.
if you were a Charlton supporter why wouldn’t you be watching? If Charlton decide to give fans loyalty points for purchasing a stream we should give those paying the full amount Full points and those designated abroad half.
Whatever they decide unfortunately, it’s going to be a long time before we get to see Charlton at the Valley let alone elsewhere.
The whole point of loyalty points is to prioritise who gets away tickets when the numbers wanting to go are greater than the availability. Buying a £10 stream for an away match at Accrington clearly should be rewarded, but nowhere near the level of someone who had actually gone to say Middlesbrough the previous season (£25 ticket plus travel costs and time)

Did anybody on here get an invite or take part in the consultation?
Has anybody else on here who filled in the form been invited to the meeting?

I got the impression that CAST was invited along with all the other fan groups which make up the Fans Forum so maybe this is in addition to the individuals who were accepted ?
Still don't know what time on Monday afternoon but we are hoping someone from CAST can attend.
It won't be me attending but, if I were, I think I'd take the view that there should be some recognition for this year's season ticket and stream buyers but not to the extent that it overrides last year's points.
There are strong reasons for many people for not buying a 20/21 season ticket so it shouldn't be seen as lack of loyalty. However, there should be some reward for those who have bought.
Very happy to receive feedback / comments from CAST members and non-members and will ensure they are fed in to whoever attends. The best place to do that at this stage is here.
The loyalty points is based around those who attend games so when the demand is greater than the supply those who go more often than those who don't get a chance to purchase. Just simply freeze the points from when we were last in the grounds and use that when it 're opens. Why would the club do anything different?
Is this not enough incentive for you?
Supporters’ loyalty points will revert to points accrued during the 2019/20 season when 2021/22 season tickets going on sale.
With the entirety of the 2020/21 season affected by COVID-19, the Valley has not been able to host a capacity crowd this season, so supporters have had no opportunity to accrue loyalty points other than those who purchased season tickets.
This means that, in the coming days, these fans will see any loyalty points granted from this season removed from their account.
The club’s loyalty points scheme provides fans who regularly support the team with greater ticket priority for in-demand away and cup matches.
