A business that's budgets the way they obviously do and want the payments spread over the full year for that reason. I'm pretty sure if they wanted the payment in full then that would be the only option
I'd be interested to know how many paid up front the last time that option was available, I always did so. It'll also be interesting to see how many give notice of cancellation if we're struggling come November/December time.
I’ve been a member all through Covid well ever since stadium was opened. Anyone know how to claim my points in the club shop?
They made a decision (no concessionaries) which was probably amongst the biggest own goals by a football club owner in the history of big own goals by football club owners. Eventually they realised what was immediately obvious to everyone else. At no point did they admit they ****ed up, They set up a ballot, which was always going to have one outcome. They can then tick the 'we have consulted with the riff raff' box. We arent going to agree on this but It just doesn't work for me. And I aren't after them begging for forgiveness, I just want them to show some genuine conciliatory actions.
If there's a saving which is acceptable to me I like to pay for some things up front; gym, insurances, buy my mobile phone rather than a contract etc. Others I pay monthly because that's all that's offered; streaming services, SIM card, broadband. In this case there isnt an up front option, and I'm fine with it. The monthly sums are manageable, and I see that this suits the club's ongoing cashflow needs. The certainty of regular direct debits is so much easier to manage than annual renewal.
