Free season ticket offer

Charlton are rewarding fans for their loyalty in a difficult season by offering them a free season ticket for 2008/9 if the club is relegated and then promoted at the first attempt. You have to buy your season by April 30th to qualify.

On the face of it this looks like a generous and innovative offer by the club, although it could add substantially to the financial cost of relegation. But that cost would arise when the club was back in the Premiership and receiving the new higher television revenues.
