A FOOTBALL club says it is facing financial problems after being told it can not have all the money raised from season ticket sales straight away.
The decision by Barclaycard Merchant Services affects Oldham Athletic fans who paid using credit or debit cards.
It will only credit the club with ticket sales on a match-by-match basis, rather than whole season's amount.
The club's Alan Hardy says it is a result of a lack of confidence in football's financial future.
