TheEnchanter Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Confusing as hell. Hypothetically if they offered this scheme in 2000 when we dropped from the Prem are people still eligible to get a free Prem ticket 20+years down the line. Pretty awful idea once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_armo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We might just raise enough to pay abdis wages for the next month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It’s better than the original idea but you will still have to advance the club a minimum of £455 for something that might never happen. Seniors get a better price but falling well into that category myself I tend not to look too far a head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's basically buy your premier league season ticket now. But who's got the money to pay all that out now and still buy championship season tickets. It might have worked had we been 15 points clear at top of the league.

I've already got a 5 year season ticket extension starting from next season, which cost the same as 5 years of this Club 1867 thing. So they want me to pay the same price again...for what? Your name in a book or summat - what else do you want for a few grand? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you already have a 5 year extension. I havent. Yet if i bought one tomorrow id also get free potential prem season tickets whereas you wouldn't because you bought yours before this scheme was invented.

alanharper Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Did Chansiri draft this scheme on the same night he got pissed and issued that huge rambling "statement"? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i think it means the following. If you pay the 1 year price, then you get 1 years FREE season ticket WHEN we get promoted no matter when that is and until that time you get a 5% discount on the annual cost of a season ticket in the Championship (or league 1 etc) until we do get promoted (if ever). The FREE season ticket however though isn't FREE because the 1 year cost you pay now is paying for it you are just offsetting money against FFP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but at a discounted Championship price presumably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 12 minutes ago, Dave DJ said: So I’m slightly confused. I already bought a 5yr extension to my current 3yr season ticket that ends this season. So what it’s saying is I’ll get a 15% discount off the total price I paid for the 5yrs or is it 15% per season if I then pay another £2275 for the Club 1867 membership? For a “free” 5yr season ticket IF we hit the premier league? I am an existing Multi-Year Season Ticket holder, how can I receive a discount on this or future years’ Season Tickets if we do not achieve promotion before my Multi-Year Season Ticket expires? We will refund the equivalent discount. This will be based on the percentage of what you have already paid for that season (cost of Multi-Year Season Ticket/years of Multi-Year). You would need to apply for your refund at the Ticket Office. From the FAQ's at https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2018/november/club-1867-faqs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 More I think about this the more annoying it is. Pay a massive sum of money on the off chance we might get promoted. If we don’t the club will say thanks for the money and that’s it. DC really doesn’t have the slightest clue how to run a football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What happens if the required number of Club 1867 sales is not achieved? The scheme will be cancelled and all supporters registered will receive refunds. Wonder what the number required is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I could afford to do this I don’t think I would, chucking money down the drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Can we just go back to the good old days of buying an affordable season ticket or paying affordable prices on the gate without all these gimmicks.

OwlLuke Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Moreover this will just exacerbate cash flow problems down the line if many people took this up. If say 10k people took up the 5 year plan, great, huge wad of money for the current season, but if you don't get promoted in that next season, then you have no cash coming in from those 10k for the next four years. Absolute madness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
