Sevilla : Other Clubs Take Note

Liga giants Sevilla have shown solidarity with their supporters by offering to pay for a season ticket for any regular who loses their job during the next campaign.

Spain is currently suffering from mass unemployment and the Andalucía region of the city of Seville is the worst-affected of all, meaning fans have been worried about buying their season tickets for the 2011/12 season.
However, Sevilla have announced an agreement with the Pont Grup insurance firm whereby any season ticket holder that loses their job during next year's campaign will be giving a free season ticket for the following season.
The policy covers any person in a permanent employment position at the same company for at least a year – so long as they work there at least 30 hours per week.
The offer does not cover the self-employed, those who are fired for disciplinary reasons as opposed to laid off, people on fixed-term temporary contracts or people who take voluntary redundancy.
Sevilla finished fifth in La Liga last season and have finished in the top five for each of the last five seasons.
The club play at the 45,500-capacity Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

No you wouldn't because you have to lose your job during next season. The offer does not count for current unemployed.

Nice.

Aren't you in college Dean?

Nah man, I left. Still waiting to see if I can get back in my old job (before I was in college) but I haven't heard anything yet, everything's going a bit slow at the moment.

Sevilla is class, putting their fans over financial gain like that.

They have a deal with an insurance company so its not like they are putting fans before financial gain. This is just a business move to ensure they keep their money that they would otherwise have lost.

They still have to pay for the insurance and it's still helping the fans out which ever way you look at it.

Good idea.

Very good of them.

Top club

Good club, top call.

Have you seen the "Manchester United 3 Liverpool 5 now fuck off" road sign?

On topic: It's good of them to put their fans first like that.

True, but this isn't some super generous action by the club to look out for their fans. The area is being hit hard with low employment so this is basically an act to keep customer loyalty and nothing more.

Nice.
