Exactly.

then tough its their fault!

We have at least one thread like this every season. Why can't folk get their heads around the fact that being a passholder gives you some privileges in return for giving the club cash up front? Unfortunate if you can't afford the lump sum, but that's just the way it is.

The point being that under the proposed scheme, you would get your first pass [ibefore[/i you'd finished paying for it. What's to stop someone just paying until the pass arrives and then defaulting?

Unworkable.

i know and i see your point. but i have emailed the club and gone down official channels with no response let alone anything else. I DO agree fully passholders should get extras, after all as someone said earleir why get one otherwise, but the point is FC could do more for people who arent on 25,000 a year. thats all

The only workable scheme would involved FC teaming up with a credit company, who would then want to make a profit from the scheme, which FC would then get criticised for.

I am one of FC's biggest critics, but there is no way they can make season passes etc. any more accessible than they already do.

then FC block the pass or they can pick up their entry tickets from the shop until the pass is paid for?

no way!!

some people might not realise

so basically your saying people like me are fooked then and its tough. well fc will NOT be getting my cash for a season ticket for many years as i simply dont have disposable cash to splash out on a season pass. my family, bills etc come first so all the time my circumstances are the same, like many many people, there is simply no way i can get one m

0% credit card? (pay it off over 9 months), there are plenty of ways. Unless of course you don't have a credit rating sufficient to get said card, in which case, why should the club see you as a better risk than a credit card company?

Or the savings stamp scheme which is currently run, £20/month will get you a new pass over the course of a year.

2 pints or a packet of fags less a week.

why would i want to get into debt with credit cards? i had them before and paid them off. swore i never would again so what the point in getting one to get in recorded debt again?

as i say i will get the stamps next season for 2011 just wont be buying jack from the shop thats all

How do they block the pass? When you've got thousands of folk going through the turnstiles on matchday, do you really think that the turnstile operators are going to have time to check every voucher to see if it's been banned?

Not sure we have too many Martians posting on here TBH.

well surely they do for forgeries etc or do they just let anyone in with something resembling a pass or ticket?

passholders BBQ, maybe that could link into a protest were we all burn our passes

So you want the club to provide a special facility, at extra cost?

which we, as the buyers, would pick up. Listen the point is there are options and i, for one, would not mind paying extra to get one as so that the club can give the directors more yatchs and houses...i dont really care. I just want them to realise the potential of further options thats all

I believe the club are to introduce a direct debit scheme this closed season which might help. On the general principle I see your point and have sympathy with a lot of folks who are finding it tough to get passes, however it did state that when you buy one you get benifits so I guess this is one of them!

and as i said i dont begrudge season pass holders getting little extras i just want the chance to be a pass holder

you have the chance, buy the vouchers.
