I see Motherwell are giving free season tickets next season to those who bought one for this season. Great gesture by the club.

That’s amazing. Got to question how they can afford it though. Unless only a handful bought them. |

The theory of a 25 year season ticket sounds reasonable, however you also have to live for 25 years which I doubt I will. But you never know!

Good point. I can't see in the report how many they sold. |

I think 1878 said they were looking to make an announcement this week regards those who bought tickets last year.
As someone who bought one, I've written this off as a very expensive iFollow pass. The offer of a voucher for a calendar was an insult from the previous regime, still also waiting for the 'thank you' that Day mentioned those who wrote off the remainder of the 19/20 tickets.
All in, completely written off as money that's gone. Any expectation I had for something/anything back laid with the previous ownership. I don't expect anything from 1878, anything they do come forward with will be seen as a fantastic gesture in my eyes.

In the Wimbledon scheme can leave it in your will. [for the avoidance of doubt, I am not advocating Town do this, merely that it is an interesting idea for saving money on expensive commercial loans, and shows fan-owned clubs can come up with novel solutions] |

I'm expecting a carefully thought-out pricing structure to get bums on seats without cannibalizing revenues. Lower-priced season tickets for Pontoon and Main Stand to try and near fill them. Day trip exiles like me will be happy to pay the same as the matchday League 2 price for the Upper or Lower Young's so apart from discount for those that bought last season Young's ST prices could stay the same..
No away team is going to fill the Osmond - Notts couldn't fill it when they needed a win to take them to the verge of promotion. At the most we are talking 5-700. Chesterfield travel ok if doing well as will Stockport if not promoted. If ST have sold well the Osmond can be opened for unreserved seating at a keen matchday price with away fans in the Osmond / Main corner.
Can BP be licensed for standing? Why not offer 200 adult / kid combo tickets for standing against the fence line in the corners at a £10 a pop?

I think we're still covered by the all-seater rule that came in when we were in the First Division.

Can we make a licence application to have some standing? Other clubs have done it for safe standing with stadiums that are otherwise all-seater. A couple of hundred standing in the corners would sensibly be treated as de minimus, unfortunately, common sense often doesn't apply in these cases. AP mentioned that redevelopment of BP might be an option. Be great to have a new rail seat Pontoon that wrapped around the corners. Manchester City are installing 5,600 rail seats (might be the biggest standing area at any stadium in the UK now?). The Kippax at Maine Road used to be the biggest all standing at 35,000 (26,500 in 1980) in England after Charlton closed the Valley. We could probably get 4k at the Pontoon end and corners with safe standing. That would take BP to 11k plus. Enough for now... |

They don’t have a £5m hole in their budgets. It’s just a cheaper way of covering a capital cost than a commercial loan.
Obviously it will impact on their revenue down the line but they have allowed for that in their planning.
They’re expecting a £1m loss this season.
£1m loss this season, must pay £4.1m loan back before April...that's £5m hole isnt it? |
