About 10 years ago they cost £1,000 : it was an offer the club put out when money was really tight for the club. I was left £1,000 by a relative who died so I invested the money in the ticket. I'd guess they'd be about £1,600 - £2,000 these days - a couple more relatives are looking a bit doddery so I might have some more money to invest

never thought you would go as far as nobbling a family member to get a long term season ticket but ..........

I'd like the club to sell 10 year season tickets to raise funds towards the new ground : first couple of years covering the current ground and the rest for the new ground.

Great idea but even better if you offer incentives. Say get a 10 year ticket for the cost of 8. I'm sure also that some "inexpensive" finance package could be put together to make such an offer attractive.

We need to raise money to assist with funding the ground but also to maintain the quality of the team. Remember the quality of your team over the franchise period is also a factor in determining franchises for 2012.

I understand shortly that shares are to be offered for sale again to raise money for maintaining team strength. They will be offered to existing shareholders first but I'd be surprised if they do not go on general release at some time. This is a great opportunity for anyone to support the Club and if your'e not already a shareholder become part of what we hope will be a great future.

Yep - I bought one, but I didn't have a grand then and I don't have 2 now!

I decided to borrow the money on a loan and rang that 0800 2 15000 number for a quote. To borrow the money over 3 years was going to end up costing around £1,300 at the time, so I thought that rather than pay some unknown company £300 in interest, I would approach the club and suggest paying the full £1,300 over 3 years - therefore they get more money and I get the benefit of spread payments. They took it - and I was surprised they did not make some kind of similar offer to others.

It could be done again!
