Barnsley Football Club are launching the ‘True Red Bond Scheme’ this weekend, with a view to aligning fans’ commitment to BFC with raising income for our club.
The details are as follows..
- Each Bond will cost £150. Fans can purchase as many Bonds as they wish.
- Payment can be made as an ‘up front’ total sum or via 3 x £50 payments over the next 3 months – October, November and December.
- All payments to be made before Christmas 2004.
- For an investment of £150 – bondholders will receive the following benefits...
· A £30 discount (each season) on all season ticket applications over the next 6 years.
· If BFC reach the Premiership within the next 10 years, each bondholder will receive a £300 bonus.
· Each bondholder will receive a certificate and badge – plus their name will be added to a Bondholder’s board to be sited in Oakwell (location still to be decided).
This initiative is designed to raise funds for the club, to coincide with the 1st anniversary of Peter Ridsdale’s takeover of BFC and to meet demand from the fans.
The price of the Bond has been pitched at an affordable cost for fans and further cements the club’s policy of being a ‘community’ club. Additionally, it is an excellent opportunity for spouses, partners etc., to purchase a Christmas present for their better halves! If you are a current Season Ticket holder and weigh up the outlay against the return, you are definitely ‘in pocket’.
It is hoped that as many fans as possible will avail themselves of the new Bond holder scheme. This is an excellent opportunity to make a personal contribution towards the club's future success.
