Stimpy 0 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Been Zebra for a while it's not new for this coming season. Zebra appeared with Whyte? Not sure if they're connected though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Sorry to see Johnny Hubbard and Alex Macdonald being used to sell this to fans. 18% rise if true will be a major turn off for a lot of fans IMO. How much did the ST prices drop when we entered SFL 3? Wasn't it consensus at the time that prices would go up when we do, and pre-planned and spelled out anyway? Looks like they indeed started thinking about a membership scheme. If the money is ringfenced solely for the team, I can see quite a few people taking a closer look at that (especially if some "goodies" are attached to it). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) How much did the ST prices drop when we entered SFL 3? Wasn't it consensus at the time that prices would go up when we do, and pre-planned and spelled out anyway? Looks like they indeed started thinking about a membership scheme. If the money is ringfenced solely for the team, I can see quite a few people taking a closer look at that (especially if some "goodies" are attached to it). In 2011 my ST in the MRE was £554 + £10 (I think but not certain for paying over 4 instalments direct to the Club, may have been waived though) = £554 which I paid as 4x £138.50. Can't find exactly how it was done in 2012 but as has been said the total was unchanged this season when I paid 1x £102.25 (inc the £10) on 27 June and 3x £92.25 July to September; total of £379. The amounts were charged directly to my CC, so no interest was incurred. So as was stated at the time the reduction (if there was no £10 fee in 2011) was exactly 33.3% (32.2% if there was a £10 fee in 2011). If it is going up 18% for next season it will still be exactly 20% below 2011/12; which I reckon is fair enough. However, it would be disappointing if the only alternative to paying a lump sum meant it all had to go on a CC which might then incur exhorbitant interest rates if it then had to be paid back monthly. In that case I would rather pay the first month direct and put the rest on a CC but doubt that will be an option as it's too messy from their point of view. On the other hand this would demonstrate how desperately the Club needs the money now and I do hope there is no more of this ST trust nonsense. At first glance they appear to be breaking the promise to reveal the plan before the ST's go on sale but perhaps they want to factor in the response, which is also not unreasonable in my view. However on closer examination the wording was "ahead of the season ticket renewal deadline" not the annoncement. So it is entirely possible that the announcement will be ahead of the deadline, which will most likely be end April or some time in May and then no doubt extended.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Why does a business with a monthly cost base (NEED) it's income up front. They don't need it they just want it up front. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have no money to get us through the summer when there is no income but we still have all the wages and other expenses: electricity, maintenance and running costs etc to cover.

That's not the complete picture, of course; but yes we do and so does any club to a greater or lesser degree. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Let's be honest here its going to come down to a boycott at some point. This lot are going nowhere and rangers are going nowhere good under them. We can have it now or in 2 or 3 years when it will stop us beating Celtc. I vote for now. The real reason this lot want it all up front is they are 3 months away from an audit that will never in a million years pass us as a going concern as things stand. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
