A great idea by the club to relaunch the early bird offer, but I do think it maybe could have been timed better. Whilst the release of a favourable (in my opinion) fixture list may have encouraged a few extra fans to commit at the reduced price, surely this ALLIED to an influx of positive new signings displaying an ambition to improve on what was a dreadful last season would have been better.
As it stands, we may well see one or two added by the end of this week (Friday anyone?) when the players return for Pre Season Training but with the offer set to expire on Sunday, it leaves little time for fans to " react" to this news by taking up this offer. As things stand, those that are waiting to see some ambition from the club, by way of new signings, have had nothing at all to encourage them to sign up, but have simply seen us lose 2 or 3 of our better players and release 1 or 2 old favourites.
The "news" that we MAY be in for a 28 year old Right Back released by Rotherham, decent player though he is, is hardly likely to inspire anyone to get themselves up to Plainmoor and part with their hard earned cash.
Great idea, but (unfortunately) poorly timed in my opinion. I would have preferred it to have been relaunched for perhaps the first week or two in July, when hopefully things will begin to warm up ..... in more ways than one!
