That is a superb offer, well done to the club for offering it. Now it's up to the fans to justify the move and for them to buy them!! I don't know how many you sold this season, I would guess around 8k, but I would hope that that figure would not be for off doubled for next season, like was seen at Bradford with their offer.
Of course the danger is the fans do not take up the offer in big enough numbers and that income is affected as a consequence. The budgets of many clubs in the championship are on the rise, not only to chase the Prem but to avoid the drop and while the FFP limits are changing the revenue from ticket sales are the most vital part of a clubs finances. My club of course chose a different route and put a premium on POTD prices while keeping the season ticket prices fairly static. While this has seen our average drop a few hundred over last season I will bet our revenue has shot up as well. It can be a fine balancing act for a lot of the clubs in the Championship, but I really hope your route works!!
