Support what we do at Same Old City - join the Ultras!
If you want to support our work at Same Old City and get access to more, we’ve introduced Same Old City Ultras - a new membership tier that gives you even more content every month in exchange for chucking a few quid our way.
What do I get?
Joining Same Old City Ultras allows you to unlock:
Two extra podcast episodes every month - these will include mailbag episodes discussing listener questions, interview episodes, retro deep dives and one-off specials.
A weekly article exclusive to Same Old City Ultras members - these will range from opinion pieces to nerdy tactical stuff, retro content and more.
The warm fuzzy feeling that you’re supporting what we do and encouraging us to do even more of it.
What sort of bunce are we looking at?
There are a couple of payment options:
£5/month if you choose a monthly subscription
£30/year (which works out at £2.50/month) if you choose an annual subscription
There’s also a ‘Founding’ tier at £69/year - we don’t expect anyone to take that option (nice though it would be) - it just doesn’t seem to be possible to remove it yet.
How do I join?
Subscribe for free first, if you haven’t already, and then the lovely red ‘Subscribe’ button should magically transform into one that says ‘Upgrade to paid’ - click on that button to join the Ultras.
Why are you creating a paywall?
We’ve always provided our main content for free, and we’re now producing more free content than ever here on sameoldcity.com in the form of weekly podcasts and now written articles including match reports and previews.
While Same Old City is a labour of love, the labour is as real as the love - planning, producing and editing the podcast is a time-consuming business, and this will only increase as we look to do more. We love doing it, but we also need a way of justifying this big time investment to our significant others… Basically, please sign up to Same Old City Ultras to save our marriages.
One option to fund Same Old City is through adverts, but we absolutely don’t want to do that. There’s nothing worse than being halfway through listening to a pod only for it to be interrupted by the same advert for VPNs that you’ve already heard dozens of times, blaring out at twice the volume of the hosts.
The alternative we’ve used until recently is voluntary donations through Ko-Fi - this worked well, and we’re grateful to everyone who donated through this route. But we want to start giving people something back in exchange for chucking a few quid our way.
If you want to take the plunge and become part of Same Old City Ultras, please go ahead and join. And if you’re on the fence, just subscribe for free now and see if you like what we do.
Thanks for reading, and keep the faith.
