Does anyone know when prices and details etc for season tickets are coming out?

No,best wait and see what league we are in...

They better be cheap else I can't see many renewing !

Unless they do a deal similar to the £199 of recent years I will not be renewing!

I would rather pick and choose my games after that shite on Saturday.

Due to my wedding next year I dont have a season ticket but wish I did, Becuase I dont have one, I have been spending money on bits and bobs and giving some matches a miss, I have missed probably about 5-7 games this season which i normally wouldn't.

From what I can remember have missed...

Southampton, Rovers, Wednesday, Bournemouth and Yeovil

Nice story.

Cheers, I get that from reading to my step-daughter, Do you want to hear the one about Humpty Dumpty??

She has no hope if you can't even spell it.

WTF happened there?

Wow, you're committed to buying a season ticket for next year already?

Have you actually watched them play this season? I'd imagine 99% of current season ticket holders are still in the "no fucking chance of me buying one next season" camp at present. Me included.

Loyal supporters!

More importantly, how much does a Reading season ticket cost?

Doesnt cost anything to read a season ticket  :gay:

Unless something remarkable happens I can see sales slumping to around 3000 for next season - back to the levels of the Diamandis era

Which could be averted with a change of manager, even if performances don't improve much. Needs to be done now though as it isn't long before tickets for next season go on sale, not many people will be buying them whilst Wilson is still in charge.

The prices etc etc won't be released until end of April I would imagine when we have rocketed up the league and have overtaken Brighton at the top

I'm just going to take some more pills...

Talk Talk looked lonely in the County on Saturday.......and pissed off after the match....long drags on his mini cigar.....

Is he still about I thought he had taken his deck chair and was chained to Coate these days

99%? Really? I think you overestimate how many people think exactly the same way you do.

im a current season ticket holder and il be renewing mine.

It depends almost entirely on the price.

Based on the number of games we miss, as we struggle to get down midweek, if the price can still be justified the three of us will renew.

Same here and i think a lot will renew aswell, It's not the manager who stops a majority of renewing it's usually the board and now we have a decent one people will still renew.

Exactly if season tickets are at the current cheap prices then the vast majority will renew all the comments from Jonny crack me up, yes the majority of the fanbase will desert the team because we are having a poor half a season.  What a load of rubbish, we have seen much worse times than this season.

Best thing that could happen is the fickle few that don't renew end up paying full price on matchday next year when our form improves.

If our form improves.

I've been playing the odd game on saturday nows and have seriously debated whether i'd rather play every week.

Last season all away games I wasnt at I was glued to the radio, now I play football for most of it, dont listen and in truth dont care. Maybe thats a this season thing though.

I'll say I'l' debate it but we all know I probably will renew anyway, I'm addicted to this shit.

However, as I said last time - I'm not doing L2 again.

I'll renew as well. My way of putting my support behind the board. I've only been to 2 home games so far this season, but I'm still glad I bought one.

I'll definatley renew because, as much as I may whinge, their's still nothing else to do on a saturday afternoon

If 199 comes round again then i will sign up.

I would but I won't be living locally next season so I won't be.

Lots of us don't though, unless not locally means Canada or Fiji of course?

I just dont know

Exactly. They might rape my emotions, but it's my club and I love it.

I won't stop going because we've had a good season followed by a bad one. It's not like we haven't seen countless worse seasons. We have a board who need backing and a club that, for the first time in about 15 years, has the impetus to do something.

Anyone who feels this season is the straw that broke the camel's back is being overly dramatic and needs to get a fucking grip.

Already got mine for next season.

Loyal.

Spot on.

 :clap:

You, sir, are a giant. I'm throwing a virtual hat in the air cheering you right now

I have sat through much worse stuff at Swindon than this season, although I do think Fitton needs to come out and reasses the current situation in regards to the 5 year plan or whatever it is. Promotion will not be achieved with his current strategy.

Well said.

 :nod:

I already have one for the next 3 seasons so there !

I'm a more loyal super mega tastic fan.

I won't be renewing due to logistics... i've only used mine for 50% of the games this season so it's been a bit of a waste of money. I think my current situation lends itself more to picking and chosing what games i bother to turn up to.

I'm not yet sure if I'll renew, but it's not performances dependent. Depends on where I will be living, most likely I'll be buying one though.

Same as mate, ill miss bennets abuse

Give him your number, it works equally well over text... or Twitter.

Hes got it, doesnt text though

His twitter is amusing though

I'll be renewing (That's my masochistic tendencies).

I'll also encourage my son to renew (And there's the sadist coming out to play).

Unless the prices go up loads then I will renew.

My shifts change in the summer...no more work on Saturdays so seriously considering getting one for the first time

Do it. Now that your fat lipped cunt of a brother has decided to fuck off we need a new perma(nent) Tans about.

I am setting up a new business that will mean me working most Saturdays, so unless it takes off enough allow me to pay someone else to cover for me, I won't be getting on.

Need to sit down and work out whether it's cheaper to drive or train it from London plus I'll only be able to do 12ish games a season but I suppose it would be worth it Steve

This season is the least enthusiastic I have been about Town since I started supporting them some 20 odd years ago.

Of course I will buy a season ticket (unless my job situation changes...). Otherwise it shopping with the Mrs. That alone is enough to buy a season ticket. But I still kind of enjoy it too, even this horses arse of a season.

I will be renewing regardless.  :)

I am a supporter therefore I will renew

Id rather go to the Pub or watch Soccer Saturday.

To be honest Id rather decorate the bathroom or do the washing up than go to football 8)

Think I will be buying a season ticket for the first time next year.

Get to as many games as I can anyway, but if I get a season ticket it will probably persuade me to go on those saturdays when you wake up hungover and it seems like too much of a ballache. (Yeah, part-time plastic fan etc...)

I also feel the least enthusiastic for going to games for ages (probably even less than under Malpas). However I will still get a season ticket for next year. It'll be the last year with the current town end so that's one reason to renew.

Yes but I'm not a super fan like some and don't want to spend every other weekend coming back to Swindon.

just because he's not going doesn't mean you'll escape me

Plastic cunt :D

Probably will, might move back to the DRS though.

When are they ready for collection/post out?

Has anybody spoken to Jockanory?

I think I remember them saying they post/you collect them on the 23rd July.

I've consistently forgotten to purchase mine since whenever they went on sale. I'll set a new reminder (to likely be ignored) now.

Correct although Jockonory says most of the turnstiles will be electronic and they were having difficulties getting the cards in on time for 23rd

Usual Swindon fuck up then...it wouldnt be the same would it?

i ordered mine on Wednesday (and got the reduced rate still) and he said we'd all have them by the end of July as they were still waiting to install the card reading technology

Gary Rose just twittered that we've sold over 4,500 season tickets so far not bad for league 2 footy

Particularly given our spectacular flop of a season. Wonder who has more ST holders than we do in Div 2 (not that its a dick waving contest).

Presumably Bradford, as they still work in old money and charge sixpence. Doubt Rovers top us. We probably have more ST holders than Crawley have seats in their stadium.

Can't be too many, so we shouldn't be financially disadvantaged on that front, particularly since we got rid of most of our liabilities and started again.

Bradford have sold 8,000 but other than that no team has come close to 4,000 by the sound of it.

If you're talking seats, then about four times as many- they only have 1,150 seats. 4950 total capacity isn't far off either...

Judging by last season that puts our season ticket numbers at basically equal to or better than 17 clubs' average attendance for the season...

http://www.emfootball.co.uk/attend.html

Bradford's adult ST price was £195 though

Morecambe got 10,691 for their game against Cheltenham! Must of helped their 2,646 average.

Hopefully we'll get vocally behind our lot. Bradford proved that 10,000+ doesn't always inspire.

Elsewhere, Plymouth are closing Blocks 15-18 (closest to the away end) due to economic and safety reasons. That's where the must vocal supporters were located.
