I was proud to be in it and it felt like mutually good value.... they got my small payment to cover admin costs, I got my guaranteed home ticket and tickets for euro96 and France 98. At 50 for a campaign it feels like they are ripping the pi$$ and taking advantage.... it used to be called the travel club.... not the supporters club.... the purpose being to help with logistics and safety when travelling with the team and to ensure behaviour. The more I think about it the more I feel they are taking the pi$$... why bother with all the absolute tat they see as value? A membership card and a tenner a year will do me fine thanks.

captain Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The main benefits are for those who travel to the majority of away games and like mass produced low quality t-shirts. This takes us back to the days of a travel club but the reasonable % of fans who want to guarantee all home games without the admin offers too big a financial carrot to not continue as a supporters club. Personally, I make use of the benefits as someone who travels regularly but cannot justify £50 for the privilege when its still upwards of £40 for most match tickets.

While still getting the "week of football", looks like a number of nations (most likely the home nations) have been pushing UEFA to have a rethink on the kick off times, as there was some more details released this week and now there is 2pm Sat and Sun kick off time.

Assuming that's CET then it'll be a 1pm kick aff here. Still better than the 7:45 on a Saturday night we had last campaign Edited January 9, 2018 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much so UEFA can now do 8-9 hours of constant international football at weekends..... ie Scotland v Israel at 2pm, Ireland v Netherlands at 5pm and Italy v Germany at 7:45pm.

A total no brainer for us to get 2pm kick offs if we are at home over a weekend. Know of a fair few lads who would go then but don't for midweeks or the late weekend kick offs.

McFootSoldier Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Another odd email, might as well just said "please wait". Do they not know how much they are going to charge yet ? "As 2016-17 members, you will be the first to find out when the renewal date is announced" Lucky i'm a member, I will know when I have to renew first. Those non-members will have to wait to hear when members can renew ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
