Have we ever had better communication? Not that I can remember in the 40 odd years I’ve been supporting the club.
It might be cool aid but fuckit.. I’d rather be talked to while I’m fucked

Doubtless they will give full details shortly on what perks this membership package will give you and perhaps offer it to previous ST holders first.I don’t get how the membership will work tbh. Previous years you could buy a membership, but that was separate to actually buying a season ticket.
Sounds like they’re making the best of a bad situation.
Think this is time for me to float my “club as a service” idea again:
Tired monthly subscription like a gym membership. Exact details to be worked out but something like:
- £5/mo: discount on store, match ticket after x months paid.
- £15/mo: basically the current iFollow deal, maybe throw in a discount
- £25/mo: 1 match a month plus discounts and iFollow
- £35/mo: Full ST
- £50/mo: ST/iFollow/discount in shirt
- £100/mo: Cup and away tickets too, maybe meet and greet special session or access to special events
- £500/mo: The Grendel Tier
Would give the club guaranteed income over the year and could throw in all sorts of basically free to do perks to make it more attractive. Maybe have a six month or year contract to ensure people don’t take the piss.
One of the festivals i go to has done this and they have had a very good sign up rate for it so far. Normal attendance is around 8k and they have had a good 500 people sign up for different tiers ranging from 100 quid a year to about 500
I didn't know there were that many people into dressing in PVC mate.
If you build it they will come
Football is light years behind other industries in capitalising on its existing customer base. I started going in 1986 and what's on offer today is practically identical to what was on offer then. You can either buy a 'normal' ticket, or go in corporate. The same old shit for sale in the club shop.Sounds like they’re making the best of a bad situation.

Look at the range of options you get these days if you go to an event somewhere like the NEC. No reason at all football couldn't do the same.
Agreed. As much as I hate to say it as a fan, clubs don’t monetise their appeal anything like enough. Fans will pay for all kinds of silly stuff the club can offer and like to wear their “fan status” as a badge. Currently it’s corporate, ST or not basically. There should be ways to give the club money, I mean show your support, for every income bracket.
Literally, it seems.
Oh dear, would not buy a car from him with a name like thatCall me Honest Dave
Think football in general takes fans for granted - maybe this pandemic will makes clubs rethink.Football is light years behind other industries in capitalising on its existing customer base.

Really like this thinking. Most business are moving towards a steady revenue model. You would need like mobile contracts to ensure people were locked into a specific package to ensure gave me streams were secure.
How would you avoid the bad press of CCFC needing to get their money from a fan who was defaulting on payments? Not a great look for the club.
