    just seen this piece of news on the web and we have the lowest season ticket sales in the premier league. Anyone got a clue why we wouldn't have sold that many?

    Considering we are ahead of last year's sales in terms of season tickets, I think that might be very wrong...

    Think we will sell around 25k?

    This will be more than some grounds capacity there or thereabouts.

    Approx Capacities for a few premier league teams:

    WBA - 27k Capacity
    Palace - 25k Capacity
    Watford - 22k Capacity
    Swansea - 21k Capacity
    Burnley - 22k Capacity

    I got the feeling that's pretty wrong and out of date!

    Didn't ours go on sale later than other clubs? I imagine it's a combination of that, and that table being a few weeks old.

    The site has taken the article down, it was obviously a total pile of r swipe.

    UPDATE: It is now showing 24,000, previously showed 4,000!

    And another myth is created for ignorant Skates to parrot.<laugh>

    Weirdly, Everton fans seem quite excited about it.

    Probably the worst aspect of the RonKlot move was the sudden increase in Toffee nosed WUMs springing up on the various Social Media sites, they didn't know we existed before hand!

    Can't be too far off. Another 5-7k seats wouldn't go amiss at this point.

    They seem to get excited by a balloon on a stick at the moment.

    Mine arrived today. With a letter from Ralph that I didn't read (sorry Ralph), a car sticker and a fixture list. Just over a month til Watford at home, which I predict we will draw, leading to much gnashing of teeth.

    Saints must have to pay extra postage if they include a message from Ralph. :)

    I think he gets payed by the buzz word. The rest is padding.

    When I was a manager with Royal Mail, we often played "Bullshit Bingo" at meetings, where you got a point for every instance of meaningless corporate babble. Ralph would have delivered a full house with every sentence.

    We did that too at one of my old jobs but it became too easy to fill a card. We then switched to choosing the first to be used and had one word each.

    Synergy and synergistic were always good words to have :)

    "Does it add value" was a favourite of mine. Max points for "adding value to the big picture going forward".

    I'm way out of date, but my eye roller was 'let's put it up the flagpole'. I still use it occasionally myself, but only when proposing a holiday destination.
