Albion Rovers Hail Success of 'Pay What You Can'

We've spent lots of time here on Affordable Football discussing Albion Rovers over the past few months, firstly with their 'Pay What You Can' match and then the subsequent decision to extend that idea to season tickets.

And, with the deadline now reached, the club have hailed both the financial and social benefits of the initiative which has seen a 500% rise in ticket sales, a 250% rise in revenue but, equally importantly, a heightened and more positive awareness of the club both locally and further afield (where a lot of sales have come).

Chairman John Devlin can tell the full story better than me and his statement can be read by clicking below.

We also looked at Scottish Lowland League side Spartans FC back at the start of the year and the Edinburgh club, in addition to freezing season ticket prices, are offering 50% off to season ticket holders of any SPFL clubs who fancy following two sides in 2014/15.
