    Have we any news on how many sold so far?
    Really hope we get about 16,000 up there then hope every home game we give as much support to the players to perform and create an atmosphere that fans from over clubs wont ever forget.

    Heard they are selling poorly compared to what the club expected, although I'm not sure what that means in terms of a figure.

    I think many people will be moving to the Chapel with the Free Under 11 ticket.

    I heard that we've sold more than fifty-three.

    That's all I've heard so far, but I'll keep my ear to the ground. HTH.

    There was no fanfare last year about the number of STs so presumably wasn't what they hoped then, but we still had good gates. I think lots of people will buy tickets as required because of economic or personal situations, but if the team does well the gates will be high because there are a large pool of supporters. I hope we sell as many as last year at least because it provides money up front, but an increase in daily sales actually provides more money.

    Judging by the queue at the ticket office the other day it will not be too bad. Have been past on several occasions on Friday and Saturday, they looked very busy. Although granted that is not any indication of a large number overall of season ticket holders. It does mean though that there is quite a few new season tickets being sold at least over those couple of days.

  10. I can't imagine why the club would not experience a healthy level of sales. The instalment plan has been re-instated this year, thus helping to spread the cost of payments and making the option of a season ticket more affordable. This will also help to offset the burden of increased season ticket prices this year. People spent last season carping about the payment plan being removed and now it is a luxury we have again. So why people keep whingeing about increased prices is beyond me. Given that we have the prospect of Championship football and a bright future ahead of us, we should be achieving ST sales of at least 18,000 with average matchday attendances of 25,000.
    Given our fan base, anything less would be slightly disappointing.
