With a day to spare.  Hope ours isn't going as well because we got ages rather than lack of interest!

the aug 1 deadline takes away any excuse not to get one,the only thing i,m surprized about is the lack of real advertising.It will be a bit embaressing if we don,t get 6000+ it will show there,s only around 4-5000 supporters in swindon who are not only loyal but are not tightasses and want something for nothing.KEEP THE FAITH.

The club has advertising campaigns planned throughout the summer, and we are 1/3 of the way to our target with 2 months to go. I'm not going anywhere near that panic button just yet

What gets on my tits is when excuses are made for the total apathy of Swindon inhabitants, like when people say the reason we get such shit crowds is because a lot of people have moved into the town from elsewhere and already support another team. That is total bollocks, the problem is that they can't be fucking bothered.

If we managed to get to the Play-off final they'd all soon remember they were Town fans then, cunts.

If we don't get 6000 we better get used to be a League 1 team (At best) and, tbh, that's all the town will deserve.................

good to hear,i,m not panicking but when the prices were announced people at work were saying how good the prices were and how they were going to get one but with the deadline being so generous it gives them time to cool off the idea.Hopefully they and others like them are not just full of shit.

The Stoke conurbation is interesting right now....the BNP now holds 9 seats on the local council...it made 3 gains earlier in the month.   However Burslem remains Labour loyal.....maybe this tells us something of PV fans.

Tbh if Vale can hit 5,000 then there is no reason we can't hit 6k.

i think people should accept that all clubs have glory hunters.currently there aint alot to intice people here imo.its a great deal for regulars but thats it.
yes tickets are cheaper, but many wont want to go to every game.and others dont really think we have much of a team worth watching week in, week out.over £200 is still alot for a non regular to shell out upfront.

if we win games then gates will rise.no matter what the prices are.but i'd like to see a reduction on matchday prices introduced once they have failed to get the 6000 season tickets.

Perhaps people are holding out to see who our new additions will be?

I hope we make it, I really do!

[pauld]

I think a fair few people have been holding out till they get paid as much as anything!

Good point.

Wish I had. Lloyds are wankers. £15 overdrawn, for one day on an account that has never, ever been overdrawn in 15 years and I get stung for it.

Time to move banks, when I can be arsed.

People are also waiting for the fixture list, particularly out of towners like myself, as i'll make a dozen games at best  as i struggle to do the midweek ones. I've spoken to my brother today who doesn't drive and he is waiting for another long time season ticket holder in newbury area to confirm he's got his before committing himself (so he can get a lift), so a multitude of reasons. I would expect brisk business tonight and saturday though as payday is here.
