Membership scheme

Insane that mind. Billionaires exploiting local government and regular fans and the people just take it.

When a franchise moves thousands of miles away, are the locals just happy to have a big league team and instantly start supporting them and do the original fans stick with them or look for another team? It's such a weird concept to me that a team isn't intrenched geographically or culturally and people are willing to support what is basically a corporate entity with some branding.
 

The only membership scheme I vaguely have any knowledge of is the Man City one.

Its £35 to have access to tickets but that does get you tickets for u21 games (which I know we give to STH but you wouldn't need a membership if you have a ST anyway), £15 to spend in the shop, 10% off in the shop and discount on womens tickets

You also get £5 off each match ticket you buy and various other discounts

In my opinion if we go down this route it needs to be something like this. If you buy a couple of tickets, a kit and some other bits in the shop its a net zero cost

That seems like decent value.
 
All the membership schemes I've looked at require everyone to be a paid up member to receive, for example, a match ticket that a season ticket holder wants to forward to a mate for a particular game.

At the moment if you can't go to a game (in the majority of instances i.e. where no purchase history is required) you have 2 options, option A to forward your ticket on to family / friend at no additional cost providing they're in the same age bracket = no benefit to the club or option B to put your ticket up for resale where the club makes the difference between the credit refund they apply to the season ticket holders account and the adult price that the resale is bought at. Option B is very beneficial to the club financially if an under 18 puts their ticket up for resale as the club make £20-£30 depending on the location in the ground.
