The Wookiee said:Does anybody remember that scheme a few years back when you could buy, i think a ten year season ticket?

I can understand the club doing this, although I maintain we're paying £300 for a season ticket and £100 plus charitable donation to the club...
balloonboy said:....buying a season ticket will REALLY help the club. Look, we're not Merchandising United - the owners are real supporters, and they're NOT trying to rip us off, just attempting to work miracles by keeping this club out of administration.
Stop being logical, and follow your heart!
TELF said:your right but would you go out and buy £1200 of cd's for your listening pleasure for next few years
Which is exactly the reason why the singing section is full of goons, gimps and grannies and there is no atmosphere at games.balloonboy said:Where are the best seats in the South Stand? Blocks D, E and F (imho). Which means these are the seats almost definitely going to be allocated to season ticket holders - even if we only have a couple of thousand next season. Which means if you don't have a season ticket, you'll be relegated to either end of the south stand

The 3-year deal is excellent value, for those that can afford it. For those that can afford it, I would urge you to take the offer up as a big gesture of support for the club.
Tom Hark said:Basically if you commit to a three year deal at this stage in the game then it's an act of faith, pure and simple. If the club was to register with the Charities Commision as a bone-fide charity then, yeah, maybe.
London Irish said:Tom, you should try and educate yourself a little better about the club you support (after a fashion).
The Albion was set up as a non-profit making organisation. The original Articles of Association adopted in 1904 state that if the club ever foundered, its assets would not go towards enriching shareholders, but to other Sussex sporting organisations and charities. This fact should be burned into the soul of every Albion fan because that was what Archer "accidentally" changed ten years go prior to the sale of the Goldstone, a fact uncovered by fine detective work by Paul Samrah and Argus reporter Paul Bracchi.
So the Albion does operate in the charitable manner you pine for.
The club was set up over a 100 years ago as an act of faith for the future of community sport in Sussex. Now that the club is about to go through another seminal moment in its history, perhaps none bigger apart from the actual founding of the club itself, then, yes, it is more than appropriate that today's generation of Albion fans should be investing in the club as an "act of faith." This will secure the future of the club for another 100 years or beyond.
If you have that mindset, the 3-year-deal is excellent value. There is not a hope in hell with our revenue streams that ST prices will go down, they will only go up as we approach the construction of Falmer.
If you view youself as a consumer of what the club offers rather than as a supporter, someone who might f*** off at any minute if something a little more attractive comes along than watching Albion games, then I can see why you might hesitate to invest in the future of the club.
But my original posting was directed at the TRUE fans of the club, the ones who will be here in the future come rain or shine, South Stand roof or no South Stand roof, Falmer of wherever we end up.
