It's the big 'Cas Fan' announcement that has been trailed all over the website and in emails over the past month or so, yes.

It's not the big stadium announcement which is planned for 'before the Leeds game', no.

Was not aware there was any announcement before the Leeds game other than the stadium plans been shown.

Wouldn't that be an announcement?

In principle it would be a good idea if it was more beneficial to accrue points.

Paying £10 is sod all really and all the money goes into the club at the end of the day.

However, you then have to spend between £400-£800 either in the club shop or from all of the participating stores just to recoup £10 offer.

It would be better if it was 10 points per pound spent. It would encourage people to spend more.

No different from a Nectar Card really, no real cost in getting one, and even if you buy a shirt every year and a couple of DVDs, you'll make back the money eventually

It's also for use on other shops like Play.com, Comet, Currys, Boots, etc.

That being said, you have to spend between £1000-£2000 in these shops and remember to use your fob when doing so just to get your original £10 back.

I think the idea is horrendous and I can't imagine many fans going for it.

Let's say you spend £100 a year in the club shop, as I assume Season Tickets won't count.

£10 for the fob.

200 points to start with.

1 point per £1 means that it would take 8 years to recoup 800 points and achieve the £10 off which you've already spent.

But obviously that's ONLY if you use it for the Cas shop.

It covers lots of high street brands and if you spend quite a bit per annum, you could probably get a tenner off per year.

Yes but we are already aware of that and I knew it was going to be about the stadium and made at the Leeds match.

On the other forum there is talk of a major announcement that Craig Posskit put on his facebook that was due to be made this week so I presume this is it.
