Prem, EFL & NL should introduce a ruling where clubs are only permitted to sell tickets from the start of the new season… I.e. 1st July.
These EBSTs are effectively just pay day loans to get clubs through the end of the season / summer.

Either you’re a viable business or you are not.
Wickes don’t ask me for money up front this year for a kitchen refurb I’m going to do in Jan 2026.

Years ago Hull brought in their membership scheme where you had to pay monthly by direct debit. I’ve always preferred paying in cash up front, they eventually listened and gave us the option of paying in full again. I again pay (actually Mrs Two buys me it for Christmas, the rotter) up front again.
