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. In my head thats kind of why we have stalled now. It was over the last 2 years that a bulk of supporters have committed to the longer term tickets. Therefore our current cashflow is lower than it should be. Don't believe that tge club will have banked the money and accessed it when needed each season.

swfcjack27 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) The core feature is a picture book with your name in and a free prem season ticket which isn’t actually free and might never happen.

My reading of it is the free season ticket would roll over until the club is promoted. Eg if we don't get promoted for 5 years then you'll get your free season ticket then. However others seem to be reading it differently to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So, we pay hundreds of pounds for a book, small discount on seasons tickets for the duration of the membership and possibly a free season ticket at some point in the future? Think I'll be keeping my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. But I've got my next 5 years of STs secured whatever division we're in and am protected against any price rises - whereas for the same cost you're getting a promise of a Prem season ticket if we ever get there, if we stay in the Championship for 5 years you're still having to buy yours every year on top of the £2775 for this club 1867 thing less a small discount. Or something like that. I don't know, I'm confused. Can't we just scrap this scheme and sell Reach instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's like paying thousands of pounds, for a brochure, advertising an holiday on a make-believe Island. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 We need some outside investment or have to hope we get taken over again. If this is the master plan to rescue us from FFP we are fooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. If as im sure was stated in the recent disastrous meeting that ticket money is a drop in the ocean. Surely then wouldn't DC be better targeting more affluent fans/businesses and filling the executive boxes and gaining more sponsorship rather than finding more complicated ways to rid the working man/fan/family of their hard earned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what you're doing right now, it's just there's a huge possibility that you're paying 2k for something which you may never get. Either way you're still paying for all your season tickets.

i used to be sc_owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I wonder how many people were involved in putting this membership scheme together? I would love to know what the club’s projections are for income from this membership scheme as well.

SWFC making things difficult for themselves since forever The most sensible thing I've read in a while, this is just so complicated & daft. Just accept mistakes have been made & say we need to sell players. You can't have it both ways Chansiri, say at the forum that our money contributes nothing, then next minute beg like this with worthless schemes, I dread to think the people who can't afford this who are doing it because they think Chansiri's emotional blackmail means that they should.... Do your job as an owner & sell some assets, not one player in our squad is irreplaceable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chansiri is hoping there's enough uptake on this to solve FFP for another year, sell the club within that year then its someone elses problem.

No. You get 5-15% discount on your season ticket every year until we get promoted. Then you get a free season ticket. Then all benefits end. So discounted season tickets forever, if we never get promoted, or just for next season if Brucie takes us up. The question to ask is, do you feel 5-15% off plus maybe one free ST is worth the outlay? At the moment, I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
