The scheme and all associated benefits will roll over until promotion is achieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch McLovin Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 21 minutes ago, King_Monkey said: 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. I am not sure you know I read it as you get 1 year free IF we go up next year and then it expires. To be honest it has some aspects of what I have said we should do it in - ie the discounts. My theory was if you but a 1 year season ticket if you renew in the first phase you get the 5% discount and so on. They've basically incorporated this into a scheme where you don't get the original season ticket. Hugely complex and I feel for the guy as he is struggling to get money in but I don't think this will prove popular or fruitful. He has too many people already on multi year season tickets. Think we'll need to come up with another way. 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 What happens if season tickets next season go up by 10-15%, wiping out the discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Why are the FAQs dated 20th November 2018? If that's when they came up with it why hasn't somebody realised in the meantime that hardly anybody is going to buy one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought our input in revenue made little difference yet here they go again trying to peddle a scheme that very few will be able to afford. It's Hillsborough not Beverley Hillsborough! It's frightening how out of touch our owner is with the common fan. I fear for our future if he honestly feels that this is a good idea that will have fans falling over themselves to take up.

matthefish2002 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Sort of people who would be interested in this scheme have already shelled out over £1,000 on a multi year season ticket twice in last few years. Think you can only draw from the well with things like this so many times and Wednesday have already done it too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is unbelivable - given I've just got a 5 year ticket, where is the repayment from the club for that? On the back of a 3 year on I've just had and countless years pre Chansiri? Me too I really don't understand this or am I just being thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if chansiri leaves doubt a new owner would honour it. In 15/20 years time. Why not, its contractual? And I doubt DC will be leaving for a few years yet. What happened with the share issue in 70s which gave iirc a £10 or £100 on ST? I'm sure an ex-shareholder could confirm, but didn't that carry on until 2010 and the MM takeover?

Popular Post latemodelchild Posted January 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well this is clear as mud. We're told our input is financially worth nothing. We have players on between 20 and 40 grand A WEEK. Take Abdi for instance. Let's say he's on 20k a week. This means for every 40 people who take up this offer we can pay his wages for 1 week. For him to sit on his arse. If 10,000 people take up the offer, at 500 quid each that's 5million. Or to put it another way, 1million short of a Gary madine. Stop messing about with stuff like this. Sell some players, get the wage bill down, replace high wage earners with lower paid younger hungry players and get us moving in the right direction. Lower season ticket and match day prices to get more people through the door. Lower corporate hospitality costs to actually fill some boxes and generate some income. Get some stock in the shop that is affordable and profitable. Get more people spending rather than getting a few people spending more. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleowl74 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Maths is not my strong point but basically if you buy an adult kop season ticket for say £450 you get £22.50 discount. So roughly we need to get promoted in the next 20 years to get that back??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure, but I'm guessing that this offer isnt aimed at people who cant spend 5 minutes reading the whole thing and the FAQ before claiming they cant understand it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this season is a write off anyway, and we only need about 5 wins from 18 games to stay up, so sell Reach, FF, anyone else still worth a few quid, balance the books and start afresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Perhaps Wednesday could register as a non-profit and these would be charitable contributions. Everyone's got their hands out all the time, my alma-mater seems to write every month asking for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
