Let’s face it, all the tat that came with STs in the past was straight in the bin anyway.

Remember that weird DVD with military style drumming soundtrack they sent out in the early Lerner years?

Sounds like a sequel to that 90s mid-season VHS called "Squaddies" with Andy Townshend and a few others all dressed-up in camouflage gear and warpaint.

I've got mine in the drawer along with the stickers, badges and vouchers for pies and coffee or whatever.  Worth a fortune in years to come

how do they pay you? Is it real money to your bank account or is it loaded onto your season ticket to buy pies with.


bank transfer

I suppose there is some admin costs on their end but happy the seats will not be wasted for a sell out game and that i’m getting something back.

That was the "Proud History Bright future" era I think.

I did like the little round stamped metal lion badge for season ticket holders they started doing.  Apparently you got it with your first one ( or if you were existing ST holder got it the year they started sending them ) and those with ten years of season tickets get a gold-coloured one.

No idea if they still do those, though this is my tenth year so will see if I get one!

No Lion token for me as a new (at least this decade) ST holder, so I wouldn’t hold your breath for the carriage clock. It would be a nice touch for more committed fans, even a simple letter to acknowledge?

That's a shame.  I'm wearing my silver-coloured one to Spurs on Saturday as will be in a box with Spurs fans and we are barred from wearing opposition colours.

If you applied that logic to every part of your life your house would be full of badges. From the bank to the milkman. Stick with the same insurers for a number of years and your reward is a price hike.
If a badge is important to you a couple of quid will sort it out.

It’s not, it was a response to a question, though recognising loyalty in a fanbase is rarely a poor move. I do still have an early 80s letter (and complimentary club diary) from the Villa I got when I was ?7 years old, apologising for an unplanned closure of the club shop after my Dad complained I’d obviously been a bit gutted by a wasted trip. I guess that kind of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is the sort of class I associate/hope for from Villa, but no real issue here...
