Will we make it to 6K?

[Berniman]

Either way, we've sold ATLEAST 800 new STs.

If everybody renews by the deadline that is 4,000. And that is assuming no new buyers between now and then. I think people are writing this off too early

Spot on!

[Phil_S]

Sent off for mine today. Officially it's a renewal, as I didn't buy last season until Diamandis had gone, but as it was a "last six" that I bought I imagine it wasn't one of the 3,200.
Will that bugger up some calculations !?

[Bob's Orange]

Going into Swindon today to renew my old man's ST. I am also hoping to pick up some cheap shorts and some footy socks for my bank league summer competition coming up!!

Nah, we can just lump you in the "plastic newcomer" category with Fred

You'll be disappointed on the socks front. We had to take out own to the play on the pitch  game.

And it is too early to tell on the 6k front. We'll know more after renewal day deadline.

I was :evil:  Got a pair of shorts and a new scarf for next season though. Got a free DVD as well.

Might be a bit cold wearing that attire in the winter

[Nemo]

Yeah, DVDs don't cover much.

Do we think the renewal deadline will be that influential? With the flatter pricing structure isn't it possible that people might be thinking about moving seats and therefore not give a toss about it?

It's a good point Lumps. The renewal deadline will have an impact on people who really want to keep their existing seat because they like the view, people around them etc but won't, as in previous years, also have a price impact. So there may be a whole swathe of people who aren't wildly fussed about keeping their existing seat who are planning on renewing in July say.

[Matchworn Shirts]

Yeah, DVDs don't cover much.

Depends how big the hole is

[JOHNNY REEVES]

existing seat owners might want to sit near mates  new to the season ticket  thing,or maybe they have kids and are able to take them at the new price. If the seats around them were taken last season they would need to move wich would mean they have untill 1st of august.will we do it---a big churchill"oh yes"

My old man's just been down (in last half hour) to get mine and his tickets. We've already sold over 3,000 and according to the chap in the ticket office approx 1,000 are yet to renew. Hopefully they're in for a busy few days.

He reckons it'll be close for the 6,000. I'm inclined to agree with him to be honest.

That's encouraging as it means we've probably got about 1000 new sales and points to the kind of scenario Lumps was talking about - that people aren't renewing on the "keep your seat" deadline but you'd assume they will before the "price goes up" deadline. So factor those in and we're looking at about 4000+ already. Another 1000 new STs and we'll be looking a whole lot better for that 6K target

According to Huddersfield and Port Vale fans, sales of their season tickets really snowballed in the final couple of weeks approaching the end of the offer.  We've got another 6 weeks left so nothing to worry about yet
