Wish they'd be more clever. Could have been a great opportunity to give people a cheap ticket to bring a friend and fill the place.

Either way, it's a sizeable cost should everyone use their voucher. Not going to lose my head like some on twitter.

A voucher that doesn't even cover the postage amount. Thats embarrassing that its taken so long to announce that.

Like others a bring a friend free or something would have been a better idea

My only issue with it is that it's not in the form of a cheque clawed from the cold dead hands of Wasps.

Can’t win really can they. Think most people had given up hope of getting anything and now they’ve announced this the comments are full of people moaning about it

Laughable.
They were stupid to promise anything then offer a fiver off the end of season clearance stuff from the shop.
There's virtually nothing in there for women supporters. Check if you dont believe me. 4 items it is.
Five minutes after the voucher runs out everything left will be sold at a lower price in the sale.
They think we're stupid, and some of us clearly are.

Hard to figure out which is the lamer response between “My free gift I didn’t ask for isn’t good enough” and “Please sir hit us with a price increase, we deserve it”

It might cost him (the club) £67,500 but if you use the £5 on something you'd probably no get otherwise, the club make money. Loads will probably buy a £20 training top they'd otherwise not get.

In the same way it works when a supermarket sends you a fiver to spend and you go in and spend an extra few quid.

The lack of merch for women really is ridiculous. A shame, given that supposedly we’re looking for ways to maximise our revenue - or maybe only hiking ticket prices counts when it comes to that.

A few things with that post. It's not going to cost him that. As to start the £5 will include VAT what is deductible.

It's effectively a £5 promo for the shop. again the mark up on products means it doesn't cost "him" £5. Also not everyone will use it. plus some will buy more. No different to companies offering discount vouchers when shopping.

Also he hasn't offered a gesture the club did.

What a load of shite, they shouldn't have bothered.
Should have kept the money and put it towards Boddys redundancy package.

It's a basic discount voucher scheme.

Fair play for the offer, But people don't need to wet their pants its going to cost Doug 65k

Agreed. Hopefully it will be better with the new partner and new ownership at the club.

Feels like we’re going to have to sell Gyokeres now - Doug, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry I ever complained about not getting a voucher, I take it all back.

We need to set up a gofundme to repay the discount vouchers

It costs the club very little in reality, certainly not as much as £67,500

That would be ideal. If there was enough people willing to donate and the club agree we could buy ST’s which would also allow free Children ST’s .

If everyone who receives this £5 @67000 that’s 150ish ST to fans in need

I expect a lot will go unused. £5 off isn't likely to tempt me because I don't see much in the shop I tend to want, or will use enough to justify the cost.
