Just an idea I am sure may have been thought about, In the present crisis why not ask season ticket holders to buy next season now to give the club som operating funds

The suggestion of selling season tickets now, whilst understandable as a suggestion, is a last resort option at the moment.
We don't even know when the next season will start as yet, yet alone the current one finishing. We await further details on that one.
What we do need to do is to fundraise everywhere else other than season tickets for the time being, and then once we know an indication of when next season is likely to be, we can start to roll out season ticket details.
Whether that is launched on a direct debit scheme or one off payment remains to be seen and again we need the National League to really represent the club's wishes on the existing season right now to enable us to at least put a plan in place.
As I said, it would be a last resort to launch season tickets right now as it could actually lead to more problems than good in the near future, until we know where we stand going forward.

It’s so much easier than faffing about with forms and post etc.

Just a reminder that the Seals Lottery Draws have been suspended due to the Coronavirus lockdown meaning that those who administer the lottery scheme cannot access the systems

Just a reminder that the Seals Lottery Draws have been suspended due to the Coronavirus lockdown meaning that those who administer the lottery scheme cannot access the systems I'm sure there are strict rules surrounding the lottery, but with the agreement of contributors why not cancel the outstanding draws and donate all prize money to the club? I'd be happy to support that.

Click here for more details cityfansunited.com/claim-your-turf/ or email fundraising@chesterfc.com Can the official club twitter and Facebook tweet about this? Not gonna get that much attention and traffic brought to it otherwise. Also can we release this funder for the budget already too... Darlo have raised over 100k and we’re sat here doing nothing. Stuff needs to be sorted now before everything gets too late

An idea
For price of say £1500-2000 1 fan gets to design a shirt from which the first team wear for a fixture The shirts are then raffled off after the game with all proceeds going to the budget

Jeff, Aware of the apprehension re season tickets but why not offer for sale now to existing season ticket holders only at last year's price(to allow for those who paid Early Bird rates)with an offer to reimburse/increase pro rata if number of home games reduced or we end up in higher league? I'm sure most existing season ticket holders would buy now to help with funds help retain/obtain players for next season. You could then offer season tickets to potential new holders once final arrangements for 2020/21 known ? Just a simple email/letter to all existing season ticket holders would suffice. May be possible after today's NL meeting?

What are the major changes in the Lottery pipeline?
Will existing members be consulted prior to any final decision made?
