How many season tickets did we sell this year compared with last year .

That many !

Last word through the rumour mill put it at around 1000. Could be totally wrong mind you

I hope your right.

Can't see many people turning up and paying full price , when they know that 3rd of the crowd have only paid £7.

I asked the club but as yet I have not had a reply.Perhaps there still counting.

Maybe, I don't know if they've counted 6K tickets in a long time

It was in the 800s, which I believe is 300 plus up on last year! Will it turn out to be a good gamble?

Thinking is quoted as saying 1000 was needed or we would lose £50k. This was a quote from that book.

For some reason they dont want us to know. Could it be that bad

I touched upon this in another thread.

Although welcomed ,I cant see how this was ever going to be an amazing financial success for the club.If anything they made it too cheap(£7.78 a game was rather generous).The move must surely have killed off the casual fan in great numbers.Us ST Holders are all payed up and have saved £10.22 a game or a whopping £235.06 over the course of the season if we attend all 23 games.Knowing the bloke next to you got in for £7.78 when you've just payed £18.00 will definitely have a detrimental effect on your future attendance especially if we continue to churn out dire performances.Remember we as ST holders get just as pissed off with it all when we lose constantly and some undoubtedly will not renew if the team don't do the business whatever the price.I think the club have a terrible habit of reacting too late in the day on many things.This desperate measure being just 3 years too late.The horse has bolted.The only thing that will save us from the downward totals in attendance is a good winning team.

Incidently why should I pay more to see us play a team that should murder us tonight when we couldnt beat one Saturday that we should've been able to match ? Kids for a Quid tonight,what about adults for free as a sort of apology for being so poop the other day LOL!! (For those that don't see it,I am being sarcy rather than making a serious point in my last sentence)

my season ticket number is 610 and i got mine one day before £179 deadline day...

anyone out there with 800 and somthing? i doubt it.

We sold between 800-850 half a dozen were bought the day of the fans forum 60% increase on last season, info from the MD at the fans forum.

I know someone that got their season ticket for £179 2 weeks ago..
