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

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.

read earlier posts not going through it all yet again

Wouldn't it be much easier for the club to throw the occassional player event where you can just buy tickets?

Either that or maybe have some sort of loyalty card (for a fee) that gives you entrance to passholder events, discount at the shop and 2nd level priority for cup tickets (next in line behind passholders).

Personally I don't have a problem with passholders getting special treatment. They provide guaranteed revenue to the club at the start of every season.

well said and i agree fully

I've got loads of ideas for both fan appreciation and also bringing in new/occassional fans (mostly half-inched from the numberous Torotno-based sports franchises I frequent).

You wouldn't believe how popular the $1 hot dog nights are here. I went to the last one and I'd say it almost doubled the attendance. They had reduced ticket prices also by a few dollars, but the amount of extra seats sold and all the extra food/drink sold will have far outweighed that small discount.

Hopefully then the product on the field is enough to entice a few back. I appreciate that now may not be the right time for FC to put on something like this given the dire stuff we've been churning out. I also appreciate that the quality of the food would have to improve to make it appealing.

Giveaway games are also popular (hats, bags, t-shirts, bobbleheads) and the costs can be covered (or shared) through having the items provided by sponsors.

I've got loads, I'll try and fire off an email with some of the better/cheaper options later today if I have time.

Standee was suggesting opening a card with a 0% offer such as Marks and Spencer, Tesco and some others. So you'd be able to spread the payments over the 9/12months and it woulden't cost you anymore. You'd just have to be strong willed and only use it for your pass and nothing else after that.

and he was also right that the club can't win if they start giving finance, if they don't chase people they get left with the cost, but if they employ a company to do so they'd be criticized for 'sending the bailiffs round' they are best just avoiding the whole scenario IMO
