So what they could do is offer half or quarterly season tickets with some kind of auto renewal option (which hopefully the vast majority will let renew) That could be a way of spreading the cost for fans and although the club will have to manage the cash flow they would save on the credit facility costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Or, introduce a SAAS / SVOD model whereby you pay X (£40?) per month and that gets you free entry into all home games and other benefits which could be added to spice it up I might sign up to something like that even though I live 200 miles away just to support the club and feel “part of it” they could bundle in “Ifollow” etc I think it would be revolutionary in football and not need credit facilities as it is a subscription rather than acting as a credit broker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Frank has got involved especially i feel that some people would like to meaningfully support the club from "afar". I'm not as far as 200 miles, but far enough, and I've thought a few times about buying kids season tickets for my lads even though they won't come. Just to bolster income/published attendances. Be better if there was.a product to satisfy this. Edited March 22 by trickyrickyholden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a chase because the first person I'd contacted had left DR did to say thanks and they'd shout if needed.

Have other clubs experienced similar problems? I'd be 100% certain that we are the only club to actually lose the required FCA permissions. They were lost because of a failure to file routine returns compounded by a subsequent failure to even respond to the regulator resulting in the club being declared not fit and proper.

Wait for confirmation when season tickets are announced and then follow up again, if you like. The club are clearly struggling to get this resolved and should accept the help.

Shock we failed to file the routine returns given who was supposedly running the club at the time. I'm not talking the Ringley brothers either.

Yes, sounds like woeful negligence/stupidity on the part of the Lemsagam regime - what a surprise. That said, we are clearly not the usual financial services outfit. I shudder at the memory of how bureaucratic the FCA could be, but you would think that a letter from the board to them pointing out the change of regime, with examples of how much better the current set up and ownership are, followed by polite persistence, might eventually get those permissions back.

The rugby are offering finance for season tickets - get them to sell ours . *Sorry 6 monthly installments rather than finance - that'd do for us though!
