What is a life member and how does one become one?

From what I understand back in the non-league days if you paid like £1000 you could become a life member ie season ticket for life. Purely a guess though

Thank's Sam I have just read Stanleyhouse's post everything is now crystal clear.

But the clean sweep didn't go far enough, I dispair sometimes

I'm finished with all this until the end of the season, I'm concentrating only on the football from now on.

Thanks Redraine for your advice in advising me to get real. I meant the constant stench of bad publicity that has surrounded the club-one financial crisis after another, betting scandals etc.

The football is the best I have seen in 30 years at the Crown.(We have the best manager in England) This is why it is a missed opportunity by people running our great club!

OK, point taken, though the positives have always outweighed the negatives for me - just!

VAT is included in the price of the tickets, so out of the early bird price of £255 Stanley get £212.50 and £42.50 goes to the Government in VAT. Out of the standard price of £285 Stanley get £237.50 and £47.50 goes to the Government in VAT. Out of the walk on price of £16 Stanley get £13.33 and £2.67 goes to the Government in VAT.

Thanks Jeff, but what I was aiming at was the fact that there's recently been a hike in UK VAT, so straight away you've got an increase of 2.5% on the ticket cost without any other considerations.

There's also a 1% Employers NI rise. Quite a lot on players who earn 50k a week

Good point but if you do the sums it's nearer 2.1%.

Also a good point but, because thresholds have also risen, this doesn't really kick in until you've paid someone over about £24,000 per annum. Below that it's now cheaper!
