I can't see the point as a business to become less flexible for your customers, sure you may want to encourage people to pay in one particular way, but to make sure you get the business there should be other options for methods of payment, to make sure you get the sale.

The fact they haven't stated this on the promo that was sent out is wrong on all levels.

It should be stated very clearly!

They've done it now because traditionally July and August are the weakest months for income at the club. Merchandising and attendances dip during these months due to holidays and the fact that it's closer to the end of the season now. It's done to try and bring some extra money into the club at a time when it's needed rather than at a time which is convenient to AN Other.

Looking from the outside with a completely neutral view (await the abuse) it looks as though things are not maybe as rosy as Mr. Teflon would have you all believe.

However it'll be 12 or maybe 24 months before we will all know the reality.

Accounts submitted early.
Trying to get cash into the club early.

Why the change?

Just questions?

As I said the answers won't become apparent for 12 - 24 months.

I don't think the is anything to it if I'm being honest, it doesnt hurt to start season ticket promo early.

You're about as netral as the Germans were in the last war.

Why dont you go back to your own board where people give a damn about your opinion. Oh no, that's right they dont want you either.

The accounts were signed off just 1 month early - hardly a sign of anything.

No they are not trying to get cash in early - there is an an early bird offer to the end of the month which offers a half price away jersey. All other renewals are valid to 16th Sept. There is no price difference so no need to renew just yet if people don't want to.

I've not insulted you before but your attempt to make it look like we have cash problems is moronic when we have no bank debt, unlike certain other clubs.

Right, the other warning is that in spite of the letter and leaflet, there is no facility to renew on line yet: "Existing Season Ticket Holders will be able to renew online in the next couple of weeks" The link in the leaflet which says you can renew on line http://www.saintsrlfc.com/seasontickets doesn't exist as such. Note to RG: they don't seem in much of a hurry to get their hands on my cash.

I,m not quite sure but i thiink the club financial year ends in October, so early season ticket sales will off set any current espenditure/losses etc.

Will probably renew my season ticket before the play offs, think we have until end of September to take advantage of the savings, did they say re newing online up and running in a few weeks.

Alternatively he could have told us this years ago when they first moved launching the new shirt till after Christmas i.e. to maximise revenue. Perhaps your view of businessmen has been tainted by your previous owner's behaviour.
