Will we make it to 6K?

[reeves4england]

keep your seats or keep your money,if you don,t mind moving there is no rush to splash the cash.8 and a half weeks to the deadline.

I'm pretty sure everybody who wants to renew will do it before the deadline anyway though. Hopefully that should push us up to over 4k and the public might start taking more notice

Depends on what the club owners wants really...do they pump in a million buy some big players that will make the stay aways buy tickets....of course thats a gamble on there part.....but then they do own Betfair after all!

If I were them, I wouldn't be buying big. Having already pumped in approx % million to get the club in the black, & decreased prices to under £10 a match, I'd be thinking "ok, I've done my bit it's up to the fans to do their bit now.

The offers been released for over a month now, and i still haven't seen it advertised outside of the regular channels - website. we've only sold 2,500 so far, unless they do something quick we definatley aint gonna sell 6,000, and it was a tall order to start with

I dunno, usually we only sell 3,000 overall.

Most people I know havnt got theirs yet but say they will. Including me. Getting mine saturday.

The fans have a part to play as well. Dont just rely on the club to spread the word.

[Bogus Dave]

I'd have expected some sort of advertising campaign by now though

[Berniman]

The majority of new ST holders will buy in July I reckon.  The closer it gets to 6k the more will sign.  There will be a few that are not willing to buy until it looks like they are gonna make the 6K.  

Tight arses!

Even though it's a 200 mile round trip and at best I'll make 10-11 games, I'm still undecided and torn between financial sense and backing the new board, so I'm waiting for the fixtures. All said and done if it's at 5998 with an hour to go I'll show faith and get one whatever.

The whole promotion lasts roughly 90 days and we are less than 35% through it yet we have already sold about 40% of our target.

I think that see's us on track, especially as most new buyers will buy in the last two or three weeks, especially if were between 4.5 and 5k at that time.

A really interesting figure woud be how many new buyers have bought so far and also how many season ticket holders we actually had last year (a fairly accurate one) I think everyone would agree that at least 90% of last seasons ticket holders will renew.

Last year it was 3,200 season tickets holders approx. I think i heard that about 800 new had been sold but that was a while ago now and it could be wrong tbh. If it is true though you'd hope we will hit at least 4,000.

[SwindonStevo]

800, where did you get that figure? thats slightly more worrying as that makes us just over 25% to the extra 3k or so about 35% of the time in. but as i said it is almost certain the majority of the new buyers will buy closer to the deadline.

[pauld]

IOB, the 800 new figure was on the OS when we passed the 2000 mark - out of the 2000, there were 1200 renewals and 800 new buyers. We're around 2500 now though so I don't know whether the extra 500 are all renewals or a mix. Nonetheless, I'd agree we should be hoping to hit around 4000 by the 16th.

[reeves4england]

Either way, we've sold ATLEAST 800 new STs.

If everybody renews by the deadline that is 4,000. And that is assuming no new buyers between now and then. I think people are writing this off too early
