the new stadium effect

[mcshane in the 79th]

Why not start with the fact that Withdean only held 8,000....

But we didn't sell it out too often

Naughty!

I have no idea if it's a trial run or if they intend to carry it on next year. Commercially they are losing money by not having the money up front, but at the same time more people have probably purchased season tickets by having the interest free option so they may be in front. Although I still think they would have sold out if the option wasn't given. Will be interesting to see if it is continued next season, hopefully it will be!

1901 members have DD payment plan over 5 years. It would be unfair to withdraw this offer to other season ticket holders if this was only for 1901 next season. A lot of people wouldn't be happy i would guess.

Would renewals hold up next year if prices went up but the interest free option remained? I'm thinking with the demand the club seems to have yes.

The club isn't losing money , the revenue flows into the club month by month. AFAIK we are the first League club to set up a DD system to buy season tickets interest free , some clubs sign supporters up to making monthly loan repayments for their season tickets or payment in 1 , 3 or 6 installments.
