kids and mortgages etc not on a lot of money who one way or another managed to find the cash for next years season tickets, just before Christmas cos our "honest" Chairman promised that there will be players coming in on the income from the season ticket money. Well......................................................
He has to remember that a lot of our fans are only on a basic wage and cant afford it. He really has taken the Piss!!!!!!!!!

I owe my entire season ticket money to a third party. I couldn't afford it over Christmas and I am still in debt now. It's ok though, he's got his comfy car and lifestyle so f**k it. If Riddler's happy, I'm happy!

Personally i think that anyone who couldnt afford this season ticket offer, but went ahead and signed up for it, need their head examining.
Live within your means, if you cant afford something, then dont buy it..

I have been a City supporter for thirty five years, and a season ticket holder for the last twelve years.

I normally take advantage of the various payment plans that have been available , or use my credit card and pay it off over a couple of months.

This year however I managed to put in a few overtime shifts at work before Christmas and was able to renew my families three season tickets, and paid in cash.

The fact that the tax bill had been paid, new investors were imminent, and with the money being earmarked for new players, led me to believe that I would be safe to pay in cash.

If at the time the club had told the truth and said that they needed to use the revenue from the season ticket money to keep the club going, then I would have twigged that all was not right, and would have given myself a bit of protection and used my credit card as payment.

However if the club now go into admin myself and many other loyal City supporters face the prospect of having to pay for our season tickets again.

The level of financial mismanagement, deceit, and lies spouted by the club is beyond belief.

The only option for Ridsdale is to walk now and take his money grabbing cronies, who have never put a single penny into our beloved football club with him.

And here’s hoping that he is never able to surface at another football club ever again.
