Those cards are looking nice!!

Very professional! ;)

Some nice ideas there, very impressed.

Just a quick question, the PR doesn't mention anyway of getting the season tix posted? I won't be able to personally collect on those dates as I don't live in the area.

What is the situation with this?

Don't worry they'll be posted to anyone not local anyway and any not picked up over the two days next week will have them delivered/posted from next Friday so everyone should have them in plenty of time for the new season.

What is the deadline on ordering season tickets? I want to purchase mine at the end of the month when i get paid if that is possible.

Ditto, its all very professional and the 6 pack idea is very good, I'm going to be away for most of the season at uni, so it could be perfect. Though I'd prefer to be a ST holder, and at £80 I may just buy one anyway.

And very impressed at having swipe cards, is it going to be difficult/expensive to have a swipe system, as I thought it was something only bigger clubs had. Not complaining though as it will certainly be much more convenient than having a load of tickets. And as far as I can see, no spelling mistakes in what is a very well put together form as well, unlike some clubs ;)

No deadline, order when you are able.

The swipe card system came about after one of those 'wouldn't it be good if' conversations that Ralph and I had and thought nothing more of. But Ralph went and did a bit of research and spoke to a work colleague I believe and pointed out in a subsequent conversation that actually it would be a lot cheaper than you'd probably think and he was right.

The system itself is basically ready and those at the last members Forum would have seen a nearly almost working perfectly demo.

The swipe cards will make it convenient for the fans (you'll only ever need the one card as Season Ticket/Six Packs etc can all be added to one card or your membership card), it should streamline administration and save us money, I believe it should pay for itself by the beginning of next season, so there are solid financial and administrative reasons for us deciding to introduce it.

And yes, I spellchecked the form before uploading it ;).

Are we the first club in the country to have a swipe card system?

I know Wembley has something similar, and Man Utd season tickets are similar aswel..


Normally, I'd get a concession now (whilst I still can) and save myself £40. But because I know where my moneys going I'll be more than happy to fork out £80, when I can afford it
