Season ticket sales

A big name signing might help.

Or any new signing for that matter (and no, Amankwaah doesn't count).

I don't think 'big name signings' are the new consortium's way of doing business though.  They clearly want to build steadily from the bottom and take things from there - an approach I completely agree with.  But whether this approach excites 6,000 of our fans to buy a season ticket at the beginning of their first year in charge is another matter.  I also remain hopeful though.

absolutely agree.
currently we have little chance of meeting 6000 season ticket sales.
gives me no pleasure in saying that, but it has been obvious all along in my opinion.

How big does it need to be to have an effect?  

Is there a set £ figure?

Money doesn't even come into it. Just someone who is capable of improving the current squad would be a good start.

Thorpe and Cureton?

[magic8ball]

Equivalents names would do. Lets face it, we were the ones who were shit, not Cureton. Although he is a complete tosser.

And Thorpe was just years past his sell by date.

I understand we can't go out spending big bucks on wages or transfer fees, but some transfer market activity will add numbers to the season ticket sales.

Thats a fact.

the squad and manager is what alot will be looking at.even with the reductions for tickets that wont be enough as it stands.
over £200 for a season of nothing aint great value for a non regular to stump up.i'm not saying thats what it will be,but alot will see it that way currently.

[jayohaitchenn]

I got my 2 today. We're up to 3750 apparently.

I see it differently. Our team is a lot stronger than at the start of last season, and the club is settled and progressing in general.

The board have already invested big in STFC terms for Cox and Macnamee.

I want us to sign some players as well, but good young players, not just "names" out for a pay day.

[Ardiles]

Absolutely.  To be honest, if we only hit 5,000 this year, it won't be the end of the world.  With the right set up off the field (which, now that Diamandis is history, we have at last) we'll be moving in the right direction.  We would very possibly get 6,000 season ticket holders for 2009/10, maybe 7,000 for the season after that.

I'd be happy with a steady rise up the ranks.  Confident that after years in the doldrums, things are about to pick up.

[McLovin]

I just find it sad that Port Vale can hit 6000 in a matter of weeks and yet we'll struggle to get that in 3 months. I thought we would have done better.

i agree with you.my comments were regarding non regulars

And that's with a Premiersheip team up the road.

Are they not offering them at a much cheaper price though? Although £229 is quite cheap, it's not jaw dropping, headline grabbing cheap is it?

We only stand to save £40 if we reach the target. If they had made it £199, and £299 if we didn't reach the target, it would have encouraged more people who have bought one to persuade those who haven't, and the price is obviously more appealing and newsworthy
