This may have slipped under the radar

But it reduces annual operational income. They want paying way in advance for football they won’t play for years. It’s a desperate attempt for a tilt at the premier league & to navigate around FFP.
Arsenal did something similar in the late 80s, offering life time bonds for around £10k a throw, to build the new North Bank at Highbury. Some pals of mine had them. When the time came to move to the Emirates, they made them invalid.

 

And let's be honest the way the sty is going, it'll not be fit for purpose much longer. That ground makes ours (except west stand) look like the Emirates. Leppings lane a disgrace.

 

A bond system might not be such a bad idea for them, if they used it for stadium improvements. But let’s face it, the whole thing needs fcking flattening. It ain’t worth patching up.

 

I meant same rules apply for cash, cheque and BACS.
