It may have been carefully thought out analysing what age people tend to stop going, or maybe not? It seems like tempting fate, if I was 70 getting a 20 year season ticket would be something I wouldn't dare dream of doing as I know I would not be able to go after a year.

Leeds did this for general season tickets in around 2004, you added a nought for a 20 year ST (i.e. 20 years for current 10). The fears are if a club is in a desperate position to do it, who is to say it will be honoured in the future.

I think a debentures may be the way forward rather than buy a brick. This is how it could work. I lend Stanley £4000 for 20 years, they pay me £4000 at the end of the 20 years interest free. During which time as a debenture holder I see all the home games for free. It depends how much they need the money now, and what for.
