Also,it has probably not been thought out properly, and we are in a difficult time financially, but what the hell.............
I believe we have over 15000 season ticket holders, and my suggestion is that as many as possible offer the club an interest free loan. My suggestion is that the minimum be £100, and the term would be up to 5 years and interest free. If we are promoted before 5 years have gone then the loan is repayable in full. The gamble is, that if we do not go up, no repayment is made. Obviously, this is for diehards only, as the only real reward would be to see us go up, not financial.
I calculate ( probably wrongly? ) that if 10,000 of us loan £100 it would raise a million, and that should be enough to get the embargo lifted and us signing a few loanees maybe?
If you were to invest £500 or more it would also entitle you to a half price season ticket should we go up. £1,000 or more would entitle you to a free one in the same circumstances.
No doubt some of you lot more astute than me financially will point out the flaws in my cunning plan, but at least I tried!
