I thought the cut off date for reserved seating was earlier than the 31/12 and this was the end of the discount period?

There would be the usual DD charge, but I am hopeful the club will implement something like Hutchie mentioned, but with differing options.

1, 6 month DD scheme pass only X amount per month
2, 6 month DD scheme pass & home shirt X amount per month
3, 6 month DD scheme pass & home & Away shirt X amount per month

4/5/6 same options but over a longer period.

Not only should this boost season pass sales it could also be a massive boost for shirt sales.

AFAIK they sell savings stamps, so people can do this for themselves. Direct Debit etc. is complex to manage on a scale as you're suggesting (and can prove expensive), what if someone has paid 5 installments and then loses their job, does the club keep the money, offer a refund??

What would be better would be an FC credit card (again, administration is expensive) where all purchases in the FC shop are at 0%.

I'd have another go at the edit mate. I imagine the club won't wait until the end of next season to allow people to claim seats for next season

But they don't get a seat. If a seat is available then it is worth the £50 each season to make sure they will have it in the future especially if it is in a much sought after area.



Stamps are fine for those who remember to buy them but the last thing I feel like doing on match day is popping in to buy a savings stamp



I think the club need to look at ways to tempt fans back and new signings alone are not going to do that at the moment.

has to be worthwhile for the club though, and if people wont pay a fee for a service it becomes expensive.
