Brilliant business sense if you ask me. Have a poor end of season and people may cancel. If they have already made two payments to the club via DD, they are less inclined to do so. :thumbsup:
To be honest, I'm not bothered either way about the gate announcement. Just out if interest, do any other clubs announce their gates over the PA like we do? I have been to a fair few grounds over the years but can't think of many at the moment.
