Thanks , that's really helpful now I've seen the FAQ section it seems easy enough.

I scrolled down but couldn't see the answer to how do we get rid of Bentenke and sign a decent striker, that would appear more tricky !

This is what L'pool are doing according to the bbc

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

That's a good point actually. They want to take all of the money upfront in one lump which does equate to an interest free loan as you say, but on the other hand if you want to pay in installments they'll charge 6.25%.

They've got no shame.

Just a couple of points to add here -
a) I do hope someone from the media publishes a comparison of how each club in turn is handling this season ticket renewal / saving seat for more normal times situation -
b) Given that these are far from normal times, people are talking about premier league tv deals being cancelled (China)
c) lower gate receipts have happened & are clearly going to continue to happen, at least for the foreseeable future - we are seeing quite large numbers of unemployment (particularly in hospitality & travel industry) quite honestly none of us really know whats going to happen next -
There will likely be clubs going into administration over this coming period ( obviously the longer it lasts the greater the risk) if any club suddenly finds itself unable to fund itself where does that leave season ticket holders who have paid the full amount ? normally I wouldnt be so concerned but when you consider these are far from normal times I do think its a sensible consideration to have.

Personally I would prefer to see the club making contingency plans & selling what tickets are available to last seasons ticket holders on a month by month basis / assessment of the actual situation on the ground - ( maybe each supporter holding say £150 credit account with the club for ticket allocation rather than the full amount of the season ticket OK that dosent give the club the cash flow it would hope for but it does help prevent individuals finding themselves considerably out of pocket.

The £200 fee feels like a PSL (Personal Seat Licence) initiative.

Owners of football clubs here would love to expand this US-style price-gouging practice in the style of the Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders etc...

Essentially the customer pays for the right to pay.

This could be the thin end of a looming wedge.
