St Mirren Football Club is pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration with Capital Credit Union (CCU) aimed at providing fans with the opportunity to secure ethical loans for the upcoming 2024/25 season tickets.
Keith Lasley, the club’s Chief Operating Officer, has highlighted the challenges facing supporters in the current economic climate and the increasing difficulty of committing to full season tickets. In response to this, the partnership with CCU aims to offer fans a more manageable way of purchasing their tickets, without resorting to costly credit card debt or high-interest lenders.
With the goal of making match attendance more accessible, especially for families, the ‘fair fan finance’ package will enable fans to spread the cost of their season tickets through convenient installment payments. This initiative aligns with St Mirren FC’s commitment to creating a community-focused experience for its supporters, recognizing and valuing the tremendous passion and dedication of its fan base.
CCU, a highly respected and award-winning credit union, has established itself as a trusted and member-oriented financial institution, with a strong presence in Scotland. The success of their ‘fair fan finance’ program with other Premiership clubs, such as Hibernian, has paved the way for its expansion to additional football clubs across the country, including St Mirren FC.
Rory Gaffney, the Director of Operations at CCU, expressed his enthusiasm for supporting St Mirren FC through the provision of accessible and affordable season ticket finance. The tailored flexible finance solution offered by CCU aims to address the financial constraints faced by many supporters, ensuring that they can continue to enjoy the live match experience without the burden of excessive fees or penalties.
The ‘fair fan finance’ initiative has been meticulously designed to provide supporters with a transparent and manageable payment plan, devoid of hidden charges or early repayment penalties. Additionally, CCU’s Loan Protection Insurance serves as a safeguard for the season ticket loans, offering fans further peace of mind.
For those interested in learning more about this scheme and applying for season ticket finance, detailed information can be accessed through the official Capital Credit Union website.
St Mirren FC’s partnership with CCU marks an important step towards enhancing the accessibility and affordability of season tickets, reaffirming the club’s commitment to its loyal fan base and the wider community. With a focus on ethical and fair financial solutions, this collaboration exemplifies the dedication of both institutions to supporting football enthusiasts across Scotland.
