Just heard an article on Radio 5 Live - according to a poll among football fans, made up of both season ticket holders and non-holders, one in seven will not renew their season tickets next year (one in five among Arsenal fans) and one in five will attend fewer games next season. What's your estimate of how many season tickets we'll flog next season and given that our average crowd this season has been 15,500, what do you see that being next season? I'll kick off - 9500 season tickets and exactly the same average crowd.
8000 season tickets and an average of 13000. gotta remember, when they said 15000 last year, no one actually believed it (looked way emptier)
I think it'll be roughly the same, obviously dependant on how the season goes. Those who possibly would stop going, would have already stopped going.
9,650 ST's incl. half year ones at Christmas Ave 15,500 as Charlton will finish second to Peterborough
Reckon we'll lose about 1500 - of which 1000 will be s/t holders Av attendance 12,500 -13,000 dahn ah gaff Shockin just shockn
Slightly off subject AllHell - good to see Grant Basey getting 90 minutes for The Posh tonight, even with their attacking flair, can't see them getting any change out of Huddersfield, though.
My season's hightlight was Basey's free-kick for Barnet which was going in at the top corner when Elliott made a fantastic save, save -of-the-season for me.
I think due to the decrease in season ticket prices, promised investent in the team and being able to wipe away last season's disaster crowds will increase slightly but had season ticket prices not dropped then it's likely the crowds would have too
After sheff u and sheff weds we will have the highest average in league 1 may even be second to sheff weds. Our support will be way higher than most of our rivals.
It was either the season ticket or the wife.... I know it was a tough choice but I will miss her..... Will have to make my own match day sarnies and flask now....
