I don't mind the blue sponsor logo - Newcastle have had a blue logo on there kit for many a year and we do have blue in the club badge - but of we'd had stripes on the arms and under the oxters it would have been nicer than it is. That's four kits errea have supplied so far and I can't say I'm that keen on any of them albeit the red one looked better in the flesh last night (quite a few had that on, at least in the home end) and the green GK kit looked OK from a distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would've been taken after the game last night matey. He's been a really, really good player in the past, one that I've been a fan of. However I really hope he don't sign him, looks done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye would say there is a difference, which is around the off field stuff (there won't be anything on at the Alhambra for Hearts or St Johnstone for example, nor will there be merchandise for either game). On field it's the same thing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the club putting more effort into promoting the match, though. They called it an "Exhibition" to make it sound more exciting than a run of the mill friendly game. There is no actual difference between the two. They could have equally called it a "Warm Up Match" or a "Super Duper Special Challenge Encounter". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Noticed Raith and Falkirk doing pay up options for ST’s, doesn’t seem like finance we used previously, more like set split over 3 payments. Wonder what this is and if it’s something we would be looking at. For me personally, we’ve had a bit of an unexpected car bill this week so doubtful I’ll be paying £300odd for my ST this month. Frustrating that we were told it’s not easy to access a finance option yet two rivals are doing exactly that. Be handy in the current climate.

I do wonder how much Klarna charge their businesses to use it, even PayPal offer purchases spread over a number of payments. I do think the old model of a standalone credit broker is done, was the interest on the last one, 2/3 years ago, not something daft like over 40% so you were cheaper buying walk ups. Last year might have been 0% plus an arrangement fee but can't remember who the provider was or what the arrangement fee is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a good option to have, but I think the Rovers are onto their third or possibly fourth different provider in the relatively short time they've been doing it. Nothing catastrophic has gone wrong, as far as I'm aware, there's just been a bit of a fankle with fees and the customer service aspect of it. The club certainly seem to think it's worthwhile, but maybe "not easy to access" isn't the most inaccurate way to describe it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been an absolute pain in the arse to get ticket on the finance option this season tbh. Was much easier when it was done through a 3rd party in seasons gone by.

parsforlife Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I get why some prefer to get a finance option, but tbh I really don’t see the appeal. I haven’t seen a deal that seems worthwhile taking in decades . Season tickets are already very much in the balance of being worthwhile financially, once you add on interest payments that seems worse, and that’s ignoring the rates always look worse than standard credit card/overdraft rates. I can’t remember for certain but I believe the club mentioned that there was only a hundred or so that took such an option last time it was considered and that funds were only only released after every home game played. Meaning that whilst a few could be prevented from being STs the club weren’t gaining from the major reason for ST sales in having money in the bank early 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
