Season ticket sales

[DV]

Most people are fucking stupid anyway.

Most stay away fans wouldnt know what a 'big name signing' would be unless they had heard of them.

Only way they would have heard of them would be if they had played in the Premiership and the arm chair fans had seen them on TV a few times recently.

....and that isnt going to happen.


We signed McNamee and Cox in January who are easily up their with the best in this division in their respective positions but the stay away fans we're trying to reach out to wont know this anyway!!

Exactly DV, completely agree.  Unfortunately there are too many people in this town who have a whole list of excuses why they won't go to Swindon Town.  Fuck 'em.

I agree as well, although I don't think knocking the people of the Town is right.  3700+ season tickets with 5 weeks left to sell them is cracking business.  It's not huge in Championship terms, but it's the best showing for many a year as does not come off the back of promotion to a big league or massive expectation.  I have huge respect for the Vale fans as well, another club with small attendances but the fans and probably locals have got behind an idea.

The one downside to this 6000 thing is if we don't hit it.  People will go "see, told you so" or "goes to show the apathy in the Town", when in fact every extra ticket we sell from this point on is a massive step forward for this club.  If we sold no more, it would still be a success, if we get to 4000 that's a huge vote of confidence in my book, 5000 is unbeleivable if you suggested it 3 years ago lets say, and if we do get the 6000 then we coould really be onto something provided people stick with it.

We were never going to suddenly sell 10,000, if we can get 5-7k this year then it's a base to build on, especially if the 'Swindon Experience' continues to improve.

it would be interesting to see how many people on this site are still to get theirs and why they haven,t so far.My reason is the time frame mr fitton gave us ,the money is doing more for me in my bank account.I will be getting 4 tickets on the end of july payday and i think a lot of people who don,t care which seat they are left with do will also.IT has been a very generous offer sell by date but i think we may well still be on track,i hope there is another2000+ people in the same boat like me.6000 no problem!

[Bogus Dave]

theres 4 of us getting ours on friday if that helps

[yeo]

I cant decide whether to get one or not.Works going to prevent me from getting to alot of games so its probably not worth it but I feel slightly guilty about not making the effort.

If I could buy one on line Id do it drunk one night though probably.

[JOHNNY REEVES]

[Simon Pieman]

You're right Johnny, I just can't be fucked cos we're shit.

That a better excuse?
