Great point. Would have been a sensible move especially following relegation and the fact that the free kids offer seems to have ended. Would have shown our support is actually valued and helped keep the fans that will possibly drift away now
Requies a degree of forward planning though. For a scheme like this to work, season books need to be on sale as early as possible, which I accept is difficult when relegation is a possibility, especially via the play offs. A good business will always have a contingency plan though!
The admin and commercial department would need to greatly improve before introducing this.
I have usually paid a deposit then pay the balance before the season starts, which helps to spread the cost. Not been able to confirm if this is possible this year as yet.
I would also like to know if there is only an online means of reserving books. Not the easiest thing to do for the OAP fans. (But a a good option for some) Personally, I prefer to pay via the club shop, is this an option and if so when will it actually be open?
Note to the club - consultation with the fans will generate positive discussions like this. We dont just want to moan, we want to help improve the club.
