Some of the comments on the "Fans give ticket scheme seal of approval" news story in the adver this morning are cringeworthy surely some of these posters are just wind up merchants , I really do hope AF and the rest of his team do not read those comments that get repeated on every story by the same people, although I am sure they would realise these views are in the minority.

I saw tht and thought the same. Some of our fans just have to moan about everything! :evil: |

The important time is next month, once the excitement of the offer has worn off. But if we dont back this one then we wont ever see reasonable prices at the CG. Not for a long time.
This is a pivotal moment for our fans.

This is a pivotal moment for our fans. Sadly my quick run aroind people who I would consider as possible purchasers, namely lapsed fans and occasional attendees, has shown no likelihood they'll take the offer...I know its not scientific, but the consensus seems to be we'll never get 6000,.... |

Thats my feeling as well. Season tickets will increase. But it will be the fans who already go, but realised ST's were not value for money anymore. I cant see us getting back lapsed fans. Football's changed, the country has changed. That local pride factor just doesnt seem to cut it anymore. I do think we will make 5,000. Which would still be a great increase. |

All these "lapsed fans" who have spouted any number of reasons why they have stopped going, too expensive, dont like the manager, poor results. Truth of the matter is, they are all a bunch of glory hunting twats who would rather watach a bunch of overpaid poofs on tv in the pub than watch proper football. :evil: |

A town of our size should be getting 10,000 gates when you consider we don't have many clubs close by like up north where there can be 20 clubs in a 20 mile radius.
Football is no longer the working man's pleasure though. You have to be reasonably well off to watch football these days.
This is a good move by the board to get people coming to the CG again.

I'm not poor by any means, but neither am I so flush with cash that I can afford to make the commitment of buying a season ticket - even at the price they are - when I have to factor in a 150 mile round trip, food, drink etc. Especially when its x2 seeing I need to consider the missus as well......I'd love to buy a ST, but unfortunately its a luxury for me I'm afraid. |

Ralph, Swindon is a big town but how many people are actually from here? Maybe in years to come when a 'Swindonian' has its own identity, but the only way we'll attract neutrals is if we get into the Premiership a la Reading.

New ground and winning team will always attract people to go. |

Agreed REG....its up to the people at the club to get to the people of Swindon who dont watch us,my idea to get 6000 ticks sold is to show the people they mean buisness....i,e by some class players,its not rocket science is it!

Personally I don't really give a shit about them that don't want to go....in lots of ways I prefer being in a small but dedicated crowd, rather than a large gathering of plastics. OK, it means we'll always be mediocre, but I've got used to it. |
