Give people the option to buy next season’s season ticket on a credit card without a handling fee.
No deadline (as yet) as not everybody will be in a position to weigh in at this difficult time.

Agree to an extent but i’m fortunate enough that I can help the club if they ask. It’ll need to be a multi pronged approach- fans, players and shareholders. If we all do our bit promptly then by example everyone will follow, follow and do their bit.I am a season ticket holder but I would not commit to buying my season ticket until the players took some sort of wage cut.
We are all in this together.
I think after the way the player’s have let us down with that horrific start after the break they could offer to not take a wage and help pay the staff. Not as if they are gonna miss a wage for a few months.Seeing likes of Bayern and Dortmund asking players to take pay cuts how will our own club deal with lack of finances
It’s a precarious position all clubs are finding themselves in with drastic measures surly just around corner

Is it not 80% up to £2500 a month? although every little bit helpsI’m not suggesting it should happen but could the club enforce the capped 80% government pay fund to players?
they already do that don’t they? I’m sure I paid for mine on my credit card without a fee.
I go the T O and pay mine cash, but I’m certain that there’s a handling fee levied on the sale of every s/t not bought in cash.
Looks like it’s only if you choose to pay over the phone or over 4 months.

The Government is giving companies 80% of the wages so they can keep their workforce. It is up to the companies if they want/afford to give the other 20%I’m not suggesting it should happen but could the club enforce the capped 80% government pay fund to players?
I think a lot of ST holders and Hospitality will be sufferingThe issue is going to come in the summer for us. Thats when a lack of cashflow could really hurt us. Could well be a situation where European qualifiers are delayed. That's a significant chunk of our ticket sales and broadcasting income.
We were no doubt counting on selling a few players too, specifically Morelos for a big fee. That's up in the air as wrll right now. Over and above that we are going to see a generational recession and some ST holders just might not be able to afford to renew, corporate business will take a hit, etc etc.
Like to think this would be spoken about, most people in the country are on 80% wagesWe should be considering wages now. We know how the media will play it out
I think this is an important point, We will have to dig deep but hopefully we are now in a position where the club can tell us exactly the amount we need and can explain it, and I think we will rise to the challenge. In the dark days while we were desperate to help nobody knew where the money was going which ultimately must have stopped people contributing.I think we will all have to dig deep again, this time though we are ready for it and know the score. Some clubs don't know the script and haven't been through what we have, so could make mistakes too.
Talk of share issues, advance season ticket is utter fantasy.
Unemployment is skyrocketing, people are worried about ensuring they have a roof over their head and food on the table. You'll get very little appetite for advance payment of tickets. Football simply doesn't matter to most people at a time like this.
We'll cut our cloth accordingly like everyone else has to. We're all in the same boat. Players will take a wage cut, some will probably be made redundant. Everything will come to a standstill for the foreseeable future. If this goes on longer than 6 months, clubs will stop paying players entirely and it will be madness. At which time we'll probably see closed door games just to keep the lights on in football generally.
Crazy times but as worrying as it is for us, there are many clubs worse off.

Why are certain posters persisting in this fallacy?
Why do you think that would generate income?
Why are you ignoring what the PFA statement addresses?
Why persist? Given the volume of these posts, I worry what the answer might be.
I tried to post this on an earlier thread that was deleted.If our club need the money then I'd rather we had transparency like other clubs across Europe have done. This is not the time to keep quiet and act like everything is nice and rosy. If that means our players should be asked to take a pay cut or deffer their wages, then so be it. If that means that our club ask for next seasons Season Ticket money, then so be it.
I would hope that the club is not keeping quiet purely to stop any negative press (because I'm sure that would quickly follow). Let the press have their columns and let the blogs speculate that we'll be going into administration or whatever. Do what is right for our club. Now is not the time to act like the big man.
Sorry @tazzabear not sure if you meant that you tried to post what I posted on a previous thread, or if you disagree my choice of the word "transparency".I tried to post this on an earlier thread that was deleted.
We don’t know if these discussions have taken place.
It’s possible that we don’t want to go public with this at the minute because of the obvious fallout there’d be from this.
The press, to my mind, would have a field day if Rangers announced this, more so, if we’re amongst the first to do so.
The references to 2012 will be plentiful.
Regardless of the unique situation, we’ll be accused of financial mismanagement.
King and the board will be slaughtered.
King will be challenged on his £30m spend claim and his “spending the children’s inheritance” comment.
My thoughts here might be pie in the sky but, I’m not going to slate the board or the club until I know they’ve done something wrong.
This “transparency” word has become a noose.

I didn't say folk would 'chuck' money in. What I said was that this time we would have a clearer picture of how much the club needed and also trust where it would go.Yet here we are in a current predicament of people losing jobs, having no money coming in nowhere near the scale of 2012. Yet we will 'know the score' and folk will chuck money in.
Not sure whether to laugh at the simple nature of your comment, tbh.
The sponsors can't really refuse to pay for matches which they have already televised, or benefited from. If this money is in "limbo" it is accessible.Completing the season generates income for teams because the tv money and the prize pool that is currently sitting in limbo gets released.
The PFA only has so much power. If the league decides to press ahead and the clubs request that their players play games there isn't much anyone can do to stop it happening.
The only way this season gets concluded is behind closed doors imo.
