Season tickets sales are vital to clubs but you have to get fans to agree to the payment method

Direct debit will not be an option for any fans wanting to buy season tickets for the newco version of Rangers. A number of supporters who cancelled their season tickets this week reported that new direct debit instructions had been created in their accounts by the new company. Charles Green's Sevco group, which had bought the assets and business of Rangers, said that direct debit instructions had automatically been set up for all those who paid the original company that way but no payment would be taken from those who had cancelled. However, the new company have now responded with confirmation that plans to take season-ticket money vias direct debit have been shelved.
 
Finance director Brian Stockbridge said: "All direct debits would have been paid to the new company from July 6 and all season ticket funds are to be used solely for the benefit of the club and its supporters. However, it is clear from feedback from supporters that there remains some concern about the transfer of direct debit instructions from the old company to the new company. The uncertainty resulted in some misleading media coverage which only added to the confusion and caused issues for service providers. For the sake of clarity and to give reassurance to fans, the club will not take any direct debit payments for the forthcoming season. We are working with our bank, Metro Bank, to ensure those who wanted to pay by instalment are still able to do so."
