I think charging for being a mascot will be standard next season. I think there will be a subscription supporters package nonsense before long.

Not in favour personally this is a typical example of the reason football is becoming alienated from the fans everything is seen as making money. I know the arguement is there that we need to maximise revenue to compete with the big boys but as others have said this club prides itself on the community side and this goes against it. I am not against charging a nominal fee but it's not such a bargain My son and I are season ticket holders so don't need the free tickets in my eyes £50 with the free kit would be right.
In these time of financial greed I might think about charging the club for the right to my son as a mascot.

In all seriousness, there needs to be an NSC whipround to make this happen next season!

They said I was too old (after buying the full kit).

totally agree with your points.
for the testimonial i don't have a problem with it - unless as you suggest, it sets the wheels in motion

As soon as Kuiper's testimonial was announced I sent an email to the club asking whether my son could be a mascot for it, as he wants to be a goalkeeper. I didn't get a reply or any acknowledgement, and now they are all sold out.

My daughter was mascot at Withdean,completely made her a fan, but the club at the time were nearly broke...as a pensioner I gave them a £100 when they appealed for fans to help but please don't let us charge to be a mascot....that is so Crystal Palace,we will be charging to go to the fans forum next.

I agree with you BUT I think this is a one off as it's a testimonial and there are 11 mascots...

What about if the smart card was used to pay for the kit and the pie and drink mm? Then you've got to recalculate the whole thing -10% for anything smartcardable.. Shocking that you've not thought thos through Acker.
PS - Being pedantic it's a pie and soft drink for the kid which is £5 or, if the fatboy price rises stick about £5.50

Honestly Sheebo, I hope you're right. But I think this is the sign of things to come. This sort of commercialisation is what Barber does, and what he's been appointed for. We'll have big name sponsors coming out of our arses before long, and I would NOT be suprised if our loyalty scheme is replaced/supplemented by a subscription service for fans.
Maybe someone should link [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION] to this (have I just done it?!) Also pointing out that Ernest is a joke account and he#s not really anti Kuipers
Show some respect. Ernest is not a joke account, he is an absolute gentleman of the highest order.

If this is a one-off for FDM then I have no problem with it. The fact that it hasn't been floated for the Chelsea game suggests it is.
Doing this package for 2 mascots for every home game all season it would only gross them c.£10k for the season (before costs) which will make f*** all difference to anything in the overall scheme of things. I would very much hope that TB values the positive impact of the free Seagulls Club mascot system far more than such a trivial sum.
If they were that bothered then I would imagine there would be some local businesses which would be more than happy to be associated with sponsoring the free Seagulls Club mascot scheme for that kind of sum.

Aren't you too old to be mascot?
Your probably right ... It would have looked a bit odd with me and Gordon Greer walking out onto the pitch hand in hand :safeway:
