Sounds to me like they think the manager appointment for next season will attract fans, as they make a specific reference to it in the statement.
Town CEO, Nick Watkins, said: “Given the fact that our position in League 2 for next season is now confirmed, the Board has taken the decision to extend the Phase 2 Season Ticket window for a further month to Tuesday 31st May 2011. This extension will allow fans time to adjust to League 2 and also await the outcome of the managerial appointment.”
Great decision either way. I doubt many would have bought STs at full price, so may as well mop up any undecided - even if its just the people who will now buy because Hart has gone. He has another good point too - some may have been wavering at the thought of league2 football, but i find the more there are football-less Saturdays the more I want to go.
