To help our club financially through these difficult times would you consider buying a voucher now, to be use for a game in the future?

Prehaps the club could offer £10 or £15 match vouchers in exchange for any home game in the future. This season or next.

If people want to put together ideas I can send them through to Dave Boddy.

How about a meet the players day for the kids, i know my boys would love it and would give them something to look forward to when this is all over. Leave it open ended date-wise but buy tickets for it now to help the club

I mentioned in another thread that I'd be happy to put up £200 now as a deposit on a season ticket next year (irrespective of location or division).

Just think there are thousands of us who were preparing to spend lots of cash following the Club over the next month or two. I understand priorities have changed massively but surely the majority of us can still spend £15/£30 on a voucher?

Obvious one for all clubs, stream all remaining games on ifollow, as games will be behind closed doors.

Clubs dont make that much from iFollow. I would suggest increasing the price for one off users.

Of course I and many will help our club any anyway we can but it needs more openness from our owner not just Boddy like it or not sisu have previous and keeping their heads below the parapet not acceptable in these trying times.

Have we been paid for McCallum yet do you reckon? That will obviously help with cash flow.

They make 70% IIRC, so not much less than average ticket income which is around £10(?).

I would go so far as to charge £10 per match for STH and £20 for the rest. They could sell it as required to keep the club afloat and if they can sell ~10k per match they won’t lose out too much.

I’m sure the same ones that want a refund on their season tickets will moan, but fuck then. It’s about having a club to support once this all passes IMO.

The transfer money recently received and the finance package announced yesterday and maybe more to come should be plenty to see us through the next three months sounds ironic now but having no ground to maintain looks like to have become a bonus with little overheads apart from players and officials I wouldn’t think are that many other employees.
The academy side of things is financed through grants and sponsorship from an individual.

The way the club could help itself is to reach out and agree with Wasps that we are returning to The Ricoh and put season tickets on sale . No matter what league we are in.

I am not stating it is in the clubs hands but in these difficult days for both clubs reaching out for the benefit of both may illicit a different response.
Just a thought!

Fans could help the team by actually paying for iFollow instead of buying someone's dodgy IPTV or watching on Facebook.

Exactly, there are over a thousand watching that stream sometimes.

First to moan about no players being signed though.

Its just over 100 for a season ffs.

I'd stump up £200 deposit towards an 'early' season ticket, if it helps the club's cashflow.

I d happily pay £100 for ifollow on top of my season ticket but I m in the uk so can nt get it legally.
Pretty much the leagues fault for the restrictions on uk based supporters, a loss of income to the Club, but Im sure more would pay if they were allowed.

What makes it worse is that he asks for donations for it to make money I think?

Only have to look at social media to see people who are watching it as it has a city badge in the corner and a number of viewers.

Nick would you think it wise to try and test the water regards to asking members/supporters on here to buying next years season ticket in advance and sort out the seating as and when we know where we are going to be?

I know money is likely to be tight for many, but for some, the lack of going out is bound to save some of the outgoing. Maybe put that money towards a kit (this seasons options are great!) maybe for one of the kids to help them cope with the current situation? I did dry January and saved enough to by the 3rd kit (which has finally been dispatched!!)

A whole month dry and you only managed a kit? That’d pay for my season ticket!

We've just gone to a 4 day week, imagine it's only the start of things. Happy to leave my season ticket money in the pot for behind closed doors games, cancelled sky sports snd a couple of other things, away games missed would've neen next if still on I guess and we'll holiday at our caravan this summer, but I'd like to think I could watch the live streams without having to pay again and certainly couldn't commit to a new season ticket at the current time until we have more detailed info on timescales. Also the feckin boiler's packed up just when it's all going so swimmingly!
