Also this is generally something called for by people who have little appreciation of the set up costs and no appreciations of the horrendous cost in time and money pursuing a level of non-payment significantly higher than most people would estimate. Defaults can run as high as 40% or more.
There's little chance of recovery as a club which litigates against its own fans is in big trouble. Worse than that the person who defaults in season 1 almost certainly can't be legally restrained from buying and defaulting in season 2.
If we truly want a debt free club then we have to accept that such a scheme can never happen.

Agree with this. It's too risky. What happens if the majority of our ST holders did this? We would lose that initial surge of income to boost the club. What happens it some refuse to pay it (not everybody cares that much about the club) and we can't get the money.
The only way that it could he viable to mitigate risk is with a high APR, and even then it isn't worth it. Not to mention the backlash the club would get for ripping fans off.
I don't like saying it. But if you can't afford a season ticket now it's tough. You'll have to start thinking ahead to next season. I say that as someone who as a student in the past would have liked a monthly payment option.
