Because “Gasheads”, I’ll use that term loosely have been taking the p*$$. Taking up the finance option but not actually paying it back. Hardly surprising finance companies won’t deal with us. I need to close this type of comment down. This is just not true! Please see my orginal words further up this thread.It was made very clear by TG. The finance company they used pulled there support for ALL the smaller clubs. They continued to support lager clubs. We were one of a number of clubs that the have been put in this postion. We at BRFC & Gasheads alike love an urban myth................... In the know "Gasheads not paying the finance company" Actual - From the meeting with as above with direct quotes. In the know - "Rovers not paying catering suppliers" From the meeting....... Actual - From the meeting TG & ALT "Jerk Chicken are really bad at paying for there pitch" & "The Club has spent 150K on catering equipment since the new owners have taken over because the clubs catering equipment was broken" Sorry for quoting you negatively dudelebowski but your words are wrong. If you feel you can counter, you need to do so naming names & times like I have done. I mean the fan base have done worse by passing around tickets and/or getting in for free, but yeh I have no return on this one👍🏻 |

This was a post meeting question I asked TG last night I had been asked by two people to pose. "Why is there no financing on season tickets available?" TG said - Most of the smaller clubs use the same finance company & they had pulled there support for all the smaller clubs but were still trading with the bigger clubs. This had caught the Rovers by surprise as it wasn't expected! He did'nt expect to be able to get anything in place in the short term! To me this isn’t really good enough. If I can pay my son’s music group fees or football training fees in instalments then why shouldn’t we be able to do the same with season tickets? When you outsource this kind of thing the service always gets worse, unfortunately. What football club is going to act as a finance company, as far as I can recall we've always outsourced season ticket loans to a finance co. If we didn't and 100's of fans defaulted the whole existence of the club could be under threat. |

There is a difference between allowing a customer to pay by instalments and paying a third party in advance and then charging interest on that payment. That kind of thing is governed by the FCA. |

That sounds a risky move if true as what happens if we have a poor season and loads of fans decided to stop paying? |

As with any other lender I suppose.. if you default on your payments your debt might eventually get sold on to a debt collector and your credit rating will be impacted 🤷♂️ |

Taking up the finance option but not actually paying it back. Hardly surprising finance companies won’t deal with us. Yeah, not like there’s a cost of living crisis that’s caused people to default on a creditor. 100% it’s cause they planned to take the water. |

Yes, he said that it wouldn't be for this season. It was said in a private conversation after the main Q&A. I didn't ask the question but I wanted to hear the questions people had and the responses he was giving. There was one plonker moaning on about a lack of plan when you know who got sacked. |

Why not allow payment by instalments for a small premium?
E.g. 20% from April to Sept .
Pretty simple and non layers have tickets cancelled

Have not read all the thread about installments and I know it is not the point, but would buying a half season ticket help for those who can't afford a whole ST in one go?
I recall there was talk of something like a eight or ten game season ticket for for local footballers, people who generally work Saturdays etc. Not sure if that ever happened?
