Average of £1.80 sits on each idle card.

That's the whole point, isn't it?

But the figure for the nominal value of remaining periods on seasons
would no doubt be a lot more.

Sorry, my summary should have been clearer - the crucial word above is
"idle" - as Recliner states, these are cards that haven't been used
for a year, specifically for the financial year April 2009 to April
2010.
