I shall be getting mine next week. Its a great deal.

Exactly.

Weather its well planned, with a short deadline or if its fallen from space - are they really legitimate reasons for people to moan?
If it is because of the "RUMOURED" financial "RUMOURS" so what, the money is going into the club coffersand that may well keep us afloat IF the "RUMOURS"" are true.
At the end of the day it is a ST for £150 for a limited time, if you want and can afford it - get it. If you cant wait until they are £180 and buy one then.
Its not rocket surgery, it doesn't need to be X-Files; it is just a stupidly good offer for a short time.
If i ruled the world and didn't need the dough, we'd all be on the £180 memberships (at least) because the £135k difference would buy a top player or secure the futures of three or four top juniors, and then maybe we might be in a better position on and off the field.

Why, the club are expecting the fans to manage theres for them by unexpectedly releasing the tickets on a date earlier than ever before then giving less than a fortnight to get them in! Why the rush all of a sudden? What do they need the brass for so urgently that the deadline could be until, say, the end of August as would be usual? Surely the uptake would be better this way. I know of 4 people already that won't be getting them in the time frame as the funds are just not there. A little more notice and they without doubt would have.

If they had given notice that the tickets would be out earlier then maybe people could have prepared by not, say, having just put a holiday on said credit card! So if me and the better half get a membership each this year it looks like i'll have to wait til they are more pricey and the gap will be made up by us either not buying a replica shirt each this year or cancelling club 1873. Sadly the club would lose out that way but so be it.

Not everyone has pots of spare cash and credit lying around and if they do they may just have other, more important things that crop up it needs spending on.

Unexpectedly offering a deal!! how can this be in anyway bad?
You have the choice the £180 ST is still a bargain.

Maybe because once you have had something on sale for a cheap price, paying more makes it seems poor value for money so many won't bother. So all of a sudden £180 doesn't seem the bargain it probably is.

Ususally in business companies put offers on to try and tempt as many people as possible to take that offer up and make it as easy for them as possible to do so. We haven't done that.

Anyway i'm done on the subject, time will tell if it works and the club get an early windfall up front. I get the feeling it needs to but have grave doubts as to whether it will.

Like I say, the club obviously doesn't need to do a selling job on you. It's the new supporters and people who may think twice about renewing anyway that could be affected. I'm not bothered either way, just found it strange. I never mentioned any "rumours" but of course it may be a consideration for people that the deal could go bad if some on here are to believed regarding the club situation.

Yes its a good offer, but a "stupidly" good offer it isn't for most people. By saying the club would get £135k extra by putting the price up to £180 just ignores simple economics. By nature the take up of season tickets may fall as the price rises.

I find it strange that the deadline is before the next home game, surely it would have made sense giving fans an option to pay on game day?

"Better be quick these deals can't last forever"
To quick for me I'm afraid! I'm out!
That's 4 less season tickets we will just pick our games 2014!
This deal really smells of a short fall cash flow problem!
To give everyone a chance this deal should be extended to end of August at least!!!
Or maybe we need the £ by the end of month!

It's a great price if people can afford it in the next 2 weeks then get it if you can't then get it later and stop ####### moaning about it. I think some folk just complain for the sake of it

Paid for mine this morning - so what if this offer is to address a short term cash flow problem. All the more reason for Supporters to get behind the Club and fork out. So much whinging goes on on this forum it's depressing.

saying things like "4 less season tickets" won't help whatsoever and shows the true colours of so called "fans".
