Forgetting the premiership and play-offs over the years, I've never had that problem with my beloved STFC!

I guess many on here will say its OK - I sat there against Forest last season for the first time in years and was soulless.  Good for a different view.  

Prefer Nationwide if anything


Title: season tickets....
Post by: STFCere on Tuesday, May 23, 2006, 09:23:36
are the facilities underneath the same crap they had before the premiership? so long ago now i cant really remember. and yes, the arkells is crap for atmosphere! but the nationwide these days isnt much better

I might be getting a season ticket in the arkells, but I have to see whether I can afford it yet. Whatever happens I know I will be at every single home game, it just might work out easier if I pay on the day every weekend. Same seats, behind the wall near dave the steward or whatever he is called  8)  He's super wickid. My sister and dad have already got theirs.

I wanted to sit in the nationwide this season, just for a change like but No one else wanted to move stands with me so I though feck it  :(

Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 23, 2006, 12:18:36
Got mine today. Yipppeeeeee. Always was going to get one but now Power, Wise and Poyet are on board it's even better.

Also picked up a yet to be rearranged 'fans forum' ticket (just in case :)) and put a tenner deposit on the £32.99 priced Away shirt (more expensive because it has '100 year anniversary' on it???).

I'm skint now.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, May 23, 2006, 13:06:03
I'm planning to get to every game once I start working but I won't be getting a season ticket. Unfortunately I don't start work until 24th August so I might have to get a temp job or borrow money from a loanshark


Title: season tickets....
Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, May 23, 2006, 13:47:11
i'm intending to get one for the arkells, which was my intention pre-wise but it's looking unlikely due to my car slowly falling apart

Got mine last week in the post for the Town End, for cheapness as much as anything.

Might even go the whole hog and buy a new home shirt to replace my blue/black halves away shirt from '96.

Me too. I'm hoping because everyone on here already goes to as many games as they can/want to, and that 'casuals' may be tempted that we don't know about.

Well according to the official site it because of Option 2 that they're opening the ticket office on Saturday and Monday

Title: Season tickets for fans who live further away
Post by: shortswhite on Friday, May 26, 2006, 10:04:37
Hi

I lived in & around the town and watched Swindon for many, many years. I now live in London so coming to a home game costs me over £60 minimum in just travel & ticket, hence I go to more away games, new grounds and all that. I don't know if any of you travel far but I reckon that home fans who want to come and live more than a certain radius, mileage (and can prove it) away from the ground should be able to buy slightly discounted tickets, season tickets so it is more feasable for them to come and support the team Surely a small discount is worth it to get bums on seats and people behind the team?!


Title: season tickets....
Post by: Piemonte on Friday, May 26, 2006, 10:38:10
No personal offence to you but as a Swindon resident it would piss me off that I have to pay more to support the local football team than ex pats.

There is also the question of how far away you would have to live to qualify as large sections of our hardcore support live in O*fordshire, southern wilts tc.

Nope sorry mate that wouldnt be fair and would be abused to fuck anyway.

Post by: shortswhite on Friday, May 26, 2006, 11:02:20
fair comment people, just thought I'd open it up. I like us all want to see more people at the county ground, and I'm just trying to come with ideas ways for people like me who live in london to travel to home games, that's all, we all know how great western trains charge the bloody earth. anyway I'll still be there suporting!


Title: season tickets....
Post by: walrus on Friday, May 26, 2006, 11:10:44
Whereabouts in London are you travelling from that means it costs £60?!   :shock:

I yoyo between living in West London and Sussex so I'm still debating getting a season ticket.  I'm very tempted, but if my funds run low I've still got the vice of "having" to travel down to Swindon to watch a game, which costs me on average about £20 in petrol.


Title: season tickets....
Post by: shortswhite on Friday, May 26, 2006, 11:13:46
£60 with train, tube, and matchday ticket is what I mean! You're right I should get a car again probably!
The vice is always there!

There used to be a london Swindon supporters club or something I think.Why not post a message for a lift /car share on the various sites, theres loads of Town fans up there that would be more than willing to share travel costs.

Got mine this after....the ticket office was busy...loads of NEW customers...had both men in there working through lunch and club shop staff answering the ticket office phones.

Also while I was there they were abouts to put a note on the web site saying you can fax because phones are busy.

Also the club shop was fairly busy as well....

I'm renewing my season ticket in the town end. Will miss the early bird deadline now because only just got some money in but still only works out an extra £1 per game over the season. Really optimistic now about the new season. Sounds like there will be reasonable attendances.


Title: season tickets....
Post by: my-velocity on Saturday, May 27, 2006, 19:06:19
When a team goes down normally attendences drop, haha looks like it's all looking good for the club and hopefully promotion next season.

Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Saturday, May 27, 2006, 20:01:17
The attendances should be fine as long as we do alright, only need to worry if we struggle. A winning team attracts fans back whatever division you're in, with cheaper tickets as well hopefully the average attendance will go up.
