I'm sure an Owlstalk poll would clarify this? I think that's nail on the head, I just don't think it's going to generate the funds perhaps the club are looking for. It's almost to me a begging bowl. Let's rattle the bowl one more time. But betting 1200 quid (to the normal man/woman on the street) on us going up. Well let me put it this way. Would you go into Ladbrokes and place that bet?? With that money? Sort the commercial side of the bussniess out ffs. Sell cool stuff in the shop, continue with the txt win thingy. Ffs give me a kit during the summer I can buy my kids. Jesus!

Which you get to spend at the club, so you don't really get your cash back. Which is fine, if you want spend it at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Fox, Nuhiu and Keane are the only ones I wouldn't be bothered about losing. All the others will play a part imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersiggi Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Seems to me from the responses so far the only people interested are those that then say something like "but I can't afford it" and them that seemingly can won't touch it. I don't like it. The whole idea seems a bit magic beans-ish to me. Nor do I like the £1.50 text message competitions that seem to be cropping up all the time. Just wrong.

Bing Cosby Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 1 minute ago, Geoffrey said: Them and us? That could be the case Geoffrey. My point was, that Brighton took pretty similar financial action to us in order to compete with the clubs with parachute payments. Its undeniable, that clubs coming down from the Premier League have a big advantage; insomuch as they aren't obliged to make "all or nothing" fiscal gambles in order to achieve promotion.

Quite a big difference in paying for a 3 year season ticket which I happily did. There is a fair contract in place. In exchange for my money I get to attend and see 3 seasons football that I would 99% be certain to do at a discount to the match day price, I get priority on cup tickets and away games and the other minor perk. On balance I assess this as a fair deal as have many others. Happy to give this commitment and it's win win for the Club. However this secondary offer I am failing to see the benefit for me. I pass over money today for nothing in immediate return. Let's dismiss having a plaque with my name on as having little value in the grand scheme of things. So I pass over funds in return for the Club to give me season tickets at some unspecified time in the future, where I can't compare the options price wise, where there might be no legal right for me to pursue this obligation to me. Unfortunately I just see the deal is me being emotionally blackmailed to provide funds where someone has failed to manage the finances properly in the first place.
