Bit like the gigs this summer then I suspect. Wonder how many tickets they've sold. I reckon about 6/700 at best.
FB events are of course not representative of ticket sales, but on there the Moyles event has 1k interested, 251 going and the tribute act day has 424 interested, 71 going. They've been pushing the former much harder, which makes me think there's a chance that one might sell enough to go ahead. I'd be shocked if the second one does.

I wonder what the capacity of the concerts are. I assume that 3.5k figure is for both days, so (guessing) 2k on Saturday and 1.5k for the Sunday.

Difficult to say about capacity. I'd imagine that they wouldn't use the stands (apart from VIP & hospitality maybe) to keep overheads down. Could maybe fit 6-8k standing on the pitch bearing in mind safety cert etc. The pricier Moyles thing looks to be selling better than the other one based on the buying options still available.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

That is surprising, but I assume that is combined rather than each day, so more like 2k max for either. Still surprised its been that many though to be honest.

That sounds more like liquidation than sale to me, only loose potential positive is it might prompt the vultures to make themselves known

I can't prove things for or against this, but some random twitter account referencing an unnamed source doesn't really prove anything does it? How many former players are there that work at the club? I can think of two off the top of my head. While they are likely to be aware of some of these things given their roles, i don't see that they would have a clue about Arkells ready to pull the plug as an example. So while its easy to get angry about these things given the current climate, we need some evidence or proof.

There's also the disagreement over the club shop sign, which if we are being unreasonable about Puma might think fuck this.

I don't think the poster is a bullshitter. But I do think/hope he's been passed gossip as fact and just passed it on .
Wouldn't be surprised either way tbh.
At least I renewed on credit card

A 4-year deal was announced in summer 2021, so yes there should be another year.

I’d heard we were trying to get out of the contract, but would be the most Swindon thing if puma said fuck it, and we end up with nobody

Its been widely reported, and Sam Morsehead mentions it in his most recent Ink article, that there have been multiple approaches by other parties interested in the club. Given that is the case, how can Clem liquidating STFC be remotely beneficial for him financially? What doesn't tally for me is that it certainly seems Clem doesn't have the cash the run the club, the costs are being cut, and that we owe more and more people money, yet he's seemly not interested in selling the club or getting additional investment.
