Robert N. LiM 4,432 Posted April 4 I don't recall this last year but maybe I'm misremembering. Quote In addition, non-adult season ticket holders will be able to purchase a top-up membership for £15, which entitles them to access for away tickets, and the further benefits of a being a member. Not entirely sure why that benefit is only available to non-adults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essex canary 504 Posted April 4 Aside from the points that have been made many times, shouldn't shareholder entitlements be made clear in this announcement otherwise there is a risk of purchase when unnecessary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essex canary 504 Posted April 5 Priority for a play-off Semi Final could go to someone who has attended NIL matches over the past 2 years but has simply paid the Club a one-off £25. Maybe that is their intention for the Final too albeit there is then a fresh opportunity to pay £25. If Leeds ran such a scheme Wembley would need a capacity in the millions.

If memory serves me correctly, for the last play-off final, the first round of sales was for season ticket holders, then members. There was then a second round of sales, again for season ticket holders and members, who could buy additional tickets. There were no general sales in 2015.

The original concept of course being that shareholders are 'ultimate members' therefore cannot be members twice. As junior members can't be shareholders it must also be a mockery to be charging them £15 for the right to attend away matches. Why not invest in the Supporters of the future?

So where is the consultation process this time round? Is it not the case that existing ST holders and current year members could potentially exhaust the allocation thereby leaving no scope for an 'opportunity to purchase' based on a 2024/25 membership?

Actually, under 16’s can be shareholders (there’s numerous examples in the shareholders register) however, they are listed under the name of the parent, with a/c of with the juniors name.

So therefore, presumably, under Article 8 of the Articles of Association (appended to my earlier posting) any such junior, like any shareholder adult, is entitled to free full membership of the Football Club and doesn't have to pay an extra £15 for the right to attend away matches? £25 in the adult case.

The match allocation seems to be around 37,000, sometimes nearer 36,000. Given our marketing material claims 22,000 shareholders and 14,000 members the available headroom must be very low.

You have been banging on about the membership was not needed as apart from Scum away tickets went to general sale but now all of a sudden it appears it will cost them £15 for the right to attend away games so which is it, needed or not needed ?

The figure includes season ticket holders with away memberships, plus members who hold both home and away membership, so, no, there’s plenty of headroom. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shareholder Members are doubtless not being counted at all and I suspect even the Club don't know the duplicate tally there given they are in a different database. The Club doesn’t know the headroom and could be inundated. If its claims about the worldwide diaspora is correct they should be even given that we are someway behind Leeds in this regard.
