Is this for all STH then. Paper gave impression it was only for the elderly.
It is atm, unless you can prove you’re a high risk supporter ( I think it will change again) .

A friend who is a Palace STH is taking advantage of the scheme, missing this season because he feels it just won't be the same and basically putting a £200 deposit on his current seat for the following season.
TBH I thought it was quite a good idea.
That £200 saves your seat for next season and comes off next seasons ticket.
Not that I fully agree with it, but its a DEPOSIT. Important point.

I know it’s a deposit but how many pensioners are guaranteed to be alive next August? How many pensioners can get £200 out of the bank in one go?
Junior ST can be deferred for £100, adults and pensioners for £200.

I’m sure most pensioners have debit & credit cards.

Of course, but it’s still a big outlay on a pension. (Pensioner aged 72)
Fair comment, but one would assume they could afford it seeing as they would otherwise have spent significantly more paying for their season ticket this year.
I don’t know how Palace pay, but I am grateful to Brighton for having 12 month interest free direct debits as it helps me to budget.

If that's the case then it doesn't sound bad. But might have been more 'media friendly' to just tell them their seat is safe this season, and we'll see you in 2021/22. I guess all clubs have to juggle the income in the best way they can though.

I know several Palace STH who really aren’t happy with this - and they’re right - it’s disgusting. Why do you always have to defend the indefensible? We often constructively criticise certain things on our club - you don’t have to always feel cornered.
I’m not defending nothing.
