thetramfixer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Revised dates: Purchase by 14 March for the possible £200 discount. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/revised-dates-for-season-ticket-offer-2996046.aspx great news for those who wanted to get a ST but didn't have quite enough time to get finances sorted!

Stevie_J Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/revised-dates-for-season-ticket-offer-2996046.aspx Fair play to the club. They could have been gits about this and said the offer expired last Friday, but they've extended the opportunity to get the whole £200 off until the 14th. More people should be able to find the cash now. Also says 1000 people have bought STs. It's a good move. One that may allow a few that couldn't take full advantage at such short notice to get on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 If it just lets people get the final one after another pay day then the chance of saving £50 isn't to be sniffed at. Personally I'm glad the offer pushed us to find the money anyway, the finance offer is great but better still to pay up if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegtt Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Call me a sceptic, but will the club have the funds to return back to us if we win a few games? I know a normal business would lump all the funds received into one pot ready to do a partial Credit but we know OAFC is not a normal business. I'm actually considering this for next season if I can get my brother interested. Even if I only made half of the games it would be a decent investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Put it on a Credit Card as previously explained by others (covers various reasons.) NB Not Amex-that is a charge-card not a Credit Card Do not pay off the balance in full. Await the credit! Settle the balance. Any problems then involve the Credit Card Company-insist on it.

Most AMEX cards are credit cards. Not sure the club accept them though. £1 on a credit card and £349 on a debit card gives you Section 75 Consumer Credit Act protection for all £350.

davegtt Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Super, my comment about getting the money back was half tongue in cheek. I'll spend our one hour train journey to Sheffield on Saturday sounding my brother out then. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Most AMEX cards are credit cards. Not sure the club accept them though. £1 on a credit card and £349 on a debit card gives you Section 75 Consumer Credit Act protection for all £350. If I was holding a Amex card I would check that out-It wasnt the case when I had 1, granted a few years ago. I was also talked round by a shop keeper in Stratford-upon-Avon to not use it since it was very expensive for him in charges. I would also put it all on a credit card so that you can make them directly jointly and several liable in full by, if necessary, refusing to pay the bill Edited March 9, 2016 by ChaddySmoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If I was holding a Amex card I would check that out-It wasnt the case when I had 1, granted a few years ago.If you are contractually required to clear the balance in full it's a charge card. If the allow you to spread the cost (quoting APR etc) it's a credit card. I was also talked round by a shop keeper in Stratford-upon-Avon to not use it since it was very expensive for him in charges.Yes, they are. I would also put it all on a credit card so that you can make them directly jointly and several liable in full by, if necessary, refusing to pay the billA good way to trash your credit file.

losesome Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 IF we win the 4 games and IF we stay up then it will have a dramatic impact on next seasons budget. I assume they are hoping we stay up and increase attendances and revenue from the new stand !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 How will it affect us with regards to FFP and budgets, it's great the fans may be set to save £200,000+ but how does that impact on next seasons playing budget and our ability to compete?

Oafc88 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Won't it be that with each transaction going to be £350 to begin with that we will be covered as to how it affects our budget? It's the club choice to then potentially give us back £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Won't it be that with each transaction going to be £350 to begin with that we will be covered as to how it affects our budget? It's the club choice to then potentially give us back £200. I'd be surprised if it wasn't income based which doesn't care about what you paid initially it's about the bottom line income figure. Of course, the money from the new stand will be going through the clubs books so that will make up some if not all of the shortfall. Haters gonna hate.
