Vale hit their 5,000 target

[Arriba]

are huddersfield fans more optomistic?
£100 for a season ticket.maybe things have been done-going to be done in the transfer market?
state of the art stadium.

we have tickets that are cheap but not that cheap to entice imo.
plus we have a manager that many still aint convinced by.ditto the squad of players.
it looks like i'm being negative.but i dont want it to come across like that.i just think people ie real fans like those on here have got a bit carried away.
our sales will rise but not enough to meet 6000 i expect.

like i said i hope i'm wrong

£10 quid a game how cheap does it need to be?

it's still money up front johnny.loads wont do it.the savings for the town end are quite small.so the turn up on the day lot that go in there will do the same next season.

i think if people see it that way we may well be f-----d for the 6000 but i still think we can make it.The family ticket price may swing it , anyway we,ll be on 5000 posts the way we,re going.

Its not even all the money upfront either!

Christ, maybe I'm being stupid....but what have Huddersfield got that we havent? We're a bigger town (are we not?)

Huddersfield didnt exactly have a brilliant season and finish bog standard mid table like us and chopped an changed their manager.

Thus fan they've just signed Kiegan Parker who is best know not for his footballing ability but the fact he shagged Jady Goody!

They also have alot more teams within travelalbe distance.

Ok, so their tickets are cheaper and they probably average more than us last season (what 2, 3k?) but I dont see how they can attract 15,000 season ticket holders and we cant get 6,000.

Is a season as Huddersfield fan than more attractive, really?

[JOHNNY REEVES]

some poeple grab every excuse not to go those people need convincing,a new signing wouldn,t go amiss.

Yup, its actually only £150 up front, not £230. Which is a big difference

[JOHNNY REEVES]

they could stick it on a 0% interest credit card.

Stop making excuses.

If we dont make the 6k then it reflects badly on all of us as supporters. I think we are more likely to make 6,000 tickets at £229 than we are to make 14,000 season tickets at £100. Something has to pay the wages.

If we dont make it, then we need to accept weve got shit home support and theres not a lot of potential in the club.

I don't think it's a question of what have they got (although they do have a fantastic stadium with miles better facilities), but more that with the price at £100 there's a lot more people prepared to just take a punt. Even if it turns out to be a shit season and the casual supporter stops going he's only wasted the price of a couple of decent nights out on the beer.

With our tickets at more than twice that it's less of a casual purchase isn't it?

Sorry Spencer but that is bollocks.The prices are good for US for someone who does not really go it is still expensive that is a fact,not everyone agrees that £10 a match is cheap

To be honest if someone dosnt think that under £10 for a game of third tier professional football is decent value in 2008 then they need to pull their heads out of their arses. They may complian that the football is shite, but compare our prices to Arsenal, Chelsea, Totenham - Even Reading and the Slave Traders.  Everything is so fucking expensive these days and is only getting worse.

6,000 is a very gettable target in terms of the support we already have. We shouldnt need non STFC fans. I remmember going to Peterborough in 2000. It was £9.50, behind the goal terrace to get in and I was well chuffed. That was almost a decade ago! Ten pound for side stands is a bargain. If you dont agree with that then you should move your cardboard box you call home to another Town.

If we were going for 10,000 then I would agree with you. But were not. So you are wrong.

[Arriba]

no he aint wrong though spencer.
people need to look at it from the non loyal fan perspective.
the savings are good for us not for the non loyals.
the manager,current squad etc,etc all come into play.
