I think the lessons from the Stoke game is fans will join and pay if it assists them get tickets for big games and in my opinion fans are less likely to cancel standing orders, once set up than not bother to renew membership with a one off payment unless they are purchasing season tickets.

Membership and gold bond are not unique to Wxm FC but they are the life blood for a fans owned club, so we need to go that extra mile.
I strongly suspect membership would be much lower if season tickets did not have the WST discount. Membership, in my view, is driven more by fan economics than belief or any feeling of affinity or otherwise to the WST cause.

Regarding the plan itself, most people would agree the broad aim but question deliverability based on track record.
