Andrew Fitton's mood in this article could be best described as thinly veiled exasperation. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/display.var.2359588.0..phpI hope things pick up. The last thing we need is the man at the top becoming despondent - especially when he & his team look to be turning things around.

Fuck knows where you got that from ash. I'm slightly more optimistic about the target than I was at the start, but it's going to be a struggle if we haven't hit 4k by the end of the month. In fact, not so much a struggle, but full on game over.

I'd love it to be 4,600 but I think the official site gave it at 3,500 or so the other day progress, so slow at the moment.

Am I correct in my assumption that we're half way through the offer period? I probably won't get mine until mid-July and I know plenty more like that. Don't forget the cost of living has gone up a lot - many people are probably trying to find the money as they're used to paying per game and not all up front.
It's going to be close - I think we'll get to about 5500 by the last week then it's just a case of waiting to see if people will take up the offer on the assumption it will happen.

Agree we need to get to 4,000 quickly. Seems to have been stuck on 3,600 for a while now - and the pay day argument only holds water if the numbers start to pick up this week as many people get paid.
The good news, I suppose, is that all of us anecdotally seem to know of people intending to take up the offer in the coming weeks.

Some people who are "on the fence" are waiting to see no doubt how close we are to 6K before committing, sadly I think there are too many of them. Pay day is end of this week, early next. The fixtures are out etc. players will return to training hopefully this will spur a bit more of a ST rush. A lot of people are going on holiday etc around this timne of year as well. OK Perhaps these are excuses for many but thats the reality. I for the record, will get my season ticket on Saturday.

Logically for anyone who doesn't want a particular seat it makes sense to wait until near the end of July. Most would rather have £140 in their bank account than STFC's account for the intervening period. BTW, I have bought mine, but a hell of a lot haven't but intend to.

I have to say I'm quite (pleasantly) surprised that so many people haven't got their's already (on here). I thought most people (who go regularly) would have bought their's ages ago.

As people have said, that unless they wanted to keep their seat, there is really no rush until the end of next month to get their season ticket, a bit like the 'early bird' used to be at the end of May.
I do expect an upturn at the end of the month/beginning of July, and a big rush in the last two weeks of July.
I still think we'll make it.
