I will not as I agree with your point, however it maybe appealing to fans who are on a monthly salary to budget the costs with xmas coming up as well

Think it has only been put in to appease some people. At least they now cannot say that there should be a DD scheme etc.

It is rediculous, I'd be interested to know how they justify the need to levy such a big charge.

Surely it would be better to spend the money you were going to pay by DD on the stamps they are offering in the shop now. As long as you get enough before the end of the year.
2 stamps a week from now till the 24th december would get you enough for an adult pass.

If you can get to the shop every week, then maybe.

paying £15 extra when you can save up over 3 months and still get your pass at the same time does not sound like a good option for someone on a budget.

If anyone feels that they cannot save, give your money to me each month and I'll only charge a tenner

for getting you a pass

Totally agree, it will be interesting to see how many take up the offer of the DD scheme, I would have thought very few

I only charge £1 for going to the shop for people.

Much better to put it a tin all year round than just October - December. Or use the saving stamp scheme!

Because the payments are december/January/February and not october/november/december

Thus giving families an extra couple of months for it and still get the pass at a discount.
I guess a few will take it up simply because they wont be able to afford the cash in the run up to xmas.

The stamp scheme is great for 2011 passes and something i will probably make full use of, putting £10 on each home game would mean only having to find half of the cash for the renewal at the end of the coming seaon.

I assume these could also be used to buy tickets for Murrayfield etc??

fair point

A couple you missed

£15 at Wigan
£18 at Udders

There are always a couple of cheap places to visit, but at the end of the day i doubt an extra couple of quid is really enough to deter travelling supporters.

I think the fact we have been poor for 2 years has been a big contributing factor along with the credit crunch this season and friday night games.

Exactly the reason we will be using the DD scheme. We have a rough few months what with Xmas, MOT and Tax on our car and the usual pre Xmas stuff whereas January & February and very quiet months for us financially.

It'll be an extra £20 on top for our 2 passes which is less than if we wait until we can afford it in February and miss out on the discount period.

Out of curiosity Karen, will you be taking advantage of the Stamps for the season afters pass?

I can't answer that as it totally depends on what each month throws our way.

The problem with stamps is it limits your options, if you have a complex financial position and a sudden emergency come up you need cash, not saving stamps for FC.

Exactly, however I would like to think that we will be in a position to save a little each month after March. If nothing does crop up, like the oven which has decided not to stay on so we need a new one, then we will hopefully have enough to buy at least one straight away then the other one before the end on 2010.

Karen

Didnt you berate those last year that could not save over the year

Only those moaning about the one off lump sum they had to find. I however haven't moaned about it, I know it's coming every year and find the money if I can, if not I do without like I did this year!!

1st for everything

Cheeky sod!!!

Very very Brave !!!!!
