Re: Season tickets under the new system : Mon Jan 20, 2014 8:32 pm
As long as a club knows it will finish in the top 8 then it's simple.You either get 15 home games for top four finish or 14 for ending up 5th - 8th.
At Saints you know you'll get in the top 8 if not the 4.
Trouble is for clubs ending up 9-12. If they've sold a season ticket for a full season of SL games and then end up with three Championship clubs those ST's won't be renewed in the same numbers the following year.
If they offer a ST for 11 home games and the rest as pay on the day, do they charge SL prices for a Championship game or Championship prices?
We all know what happens to a club's crowds when they play a Champ club in the C Cup. Only half the ground is opened up.
I hope they've costed all this out and know the financial consequencies of what they've voted for. It wouldn't surprise me though if they haven't.
