I think the payment plan is a good idea, now that I understand it. A tenner a month direct debit hardly breaks the bank and the £50 lump sum is only the cost of a night out on the town. The problem is that it looks and sounds more complex than it is. Hopefully the club can produce information for 2013 that makes the pricing structure easy to understand.

Wonder how the lack of season ticket money upfront will affect/has affected the clubs finances now it is spread over a full season? Always remember the club saying how much they rely on getting it all in early and then being able to spend accordingly in the past.

They said totally the opposite this year. That was the thinking behind the direct debit payments so the club have some money coming in throughout the year not just as you say at the start of the season.

I'm always amazed that the club have never said if anyone wants to up what they pay on a monthly DD to help out the club they haven't. You'd think that if everyone currently paying £15 pr month DD doubled it then it would make a significant impact on the ability for the club to progress.

Not saying everyone would or indeed should but I'm very surprised the club have never given people that option.

It’s worked out well for me, and not having to find an extra £200 at Christmas was more than welcome.

Was a touch on the complicated side though.
