Proposal for a membership scheme

[BrahimHemdani 1]

Overseas membership and others who cannot attend regularly is a particularly strong reason why a membership scheme would most likely succeed.

 

Partick Thistle have got one for goodness sake (£0 - £120), so why can't we have one too?

 

As examples of other prices: Liverpool £35; Cardiff £30 - £40; Barcelona 88 Euros, Real Madrid approx. 140 Euros.

i'm on benefits so not much spare, but could do a tenner a month. If that was the cost it would put what we pay inbetween Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the same as Partick thistle.

That's the PT PLUS Package! which includes "Access to a dedicated director", now that WOULD be interesting

Cost is important as such a scheme only retains credibility it it's not perceived to be elitist.

 

Needs to be affordable to every bear.

First year free membership to season ticket holders or a nominal amount of say £10 - £25 added; £5 per month/ £50 pa all others?

Could be set at different amounts with different benefits like kickstarter example

My personal opinion is that every member should be an ordinary member, one member one vote etc. It would be possible to add additional benefits for a higher fee but I think that gets into very dangerous territory. This was one of the issues with a share scheme because those who could afford to buy more demanded more in return.

 

I would strongly suggest that for the first two or three years everyone (except perhaps founding season ticket holders as described above) should pay the same and get the same benefits. Thereafter if there was demand for greater benefits these could be considered at an appropriate price.

One main point would be that the club advertises for this. Motherwell and Hamburg et al do that, so the wide "public" of the support has a chance to actually "note" that there is such an opportunity to invest and also become "democratically" involved into the fortunes of the club.

This is really encouraging. Some light amongst the fog.

 

If McColl's team are successful, this could be our opportunity to get something like this in place. Especially if, as Frankie says, the club is/was genuinely looking into it also.

And it has the means to do that at little or no cost principally through the web site, programmes, magazine, match day announcements, score board, the Assembly, Association, Trust, NARSA every registered supporters club etc. etc.
