I have it on good authority that when we offered ' terms ' to pay for season tickets a few years back , we had people cancelling their DD after receiving their ST , so unless you can guarantee payment or come up with a cast iron way of de activating a ST , it probably is a non starter

I suppose they could "NAME AND SHAME " have their name put up on the big screen ,let everyone know who they are

Idea is 10 months at £20, 50% in the bank before a game is played, issue tickets to the first half of the season and do the same later on for the 2nd half. DD only makes it easy to administer. You belong to a club with an exclusive shirt not available anywhere else and socialise with like minded fans before/after games.

Sounds like a plan , apart from the ' Retro ' shirt bit , unless you bring out a new ' retro ' every year

The database of membership will be available to the club to do with it what they want , be that a membership scheme , Trust , or whatever they decide

I would do a retro every year, have a great contact to get shirts from - Coat of Arms embroidered and maybe a 'Proud Leyther 2012' under it.

Well I hope they do it ,its a great concept ,plus it would look great with all the shirts being worn too

Personally i think it's a great idea. I didn't get a ST this year because I can't get to every game. If I was paying £20 p/m I would get to see all the games I can get to plus I would get a shirt and would gladly pay £20 per month. And about people cancelling Direct Debits - I've just checked me dad's ST and there is a barcode and Client ID - miss a payment and the ''scanner says no'' at the turnstyle. Turnstyle operator - '' Please can you go round to the Ticket Office where they can help you sort it out.'' With modern technology it must be possible to have the ST's deactiavted.

I know someone who has a pretty good idea about such implementation

Like the idea, but isn't it better to work it to have that seasons actual shirt?

Many will also buy that seasons shirt, but the exclusive shirt will have some pride value.

Maybe some would prefer a retro type shirt, but how many variations of cherry and white hoops can you do? Bare in mind that they have been done over the years already.
All you do is when people sign up in advance you then specify retro or current season ? You still know the numbers for each.

Quite like the all red adidas one myself, or the red v shirt, or the all blue one

no votes for the Harlequin one?
