Do you mean sacking Malpas or just lack of season tickets?
I meant season tickets. Whilst it probably isn't a massive financial impact, the fiuture ST sales in next season could be taken into account. That said, if they chose to keep Malpas, despite sustained poor performance, we won't get renewals anyway, especially if we do have to sell one or two players. Oh fuck, that sounds really bleak. |

How many season ticket holders did we lose under Kingy?
I expect they went up in the 04/05 season after the play offs the season before but then went down when we finished mid table and sold Parkin.
Has anyone got any stats about season ticket sales?
To me I think (hope) that the only people who will stop going are the johnny armchairfan who have only started going this season because it was cheap.
I'd like to think we've got a hardcore fanbase of a couple of thousand that always have been and always will be there.
Fitton knows what hes doing so I expect he's been realistic when budgeting future season ticket sales.

I don't think it ever drops below 2000 and normally not above 3500 at most.
Non renewals will lead to a sale, that's for sure, because the seasons budget will be carved up if the income doesn't come as guaranteed.
Mine was paid on the due date. It's my first ever season ticket and I've seen worse, so it's cheaper for my shit watching than in previous years, which allows more pre match beer expenditure.

But we've got 5300 or so season ticket holders and our hardcore fanbase can only be about the same. We've enjoyed decent attendances this year, despite some awful football. I can only imagine this is down to season ticket sales. Like Rob says, it's guaranteed income which will suffer. A player sale will be inevitable. Fitton cannot budget for underperformance, save perhaps the added cost of a mangerial change. I would imagine his realistic budget would actually be three - a best, worst and average case scenario. My point is if we get the worst case scenario we will have to find the money elsewhere. I suspect the worst case scenario means budget cuts elsewhere and/or other income streams such as player sales. I don't think it's good to compare budgeting in previous years, because it was non existent. |

I thought they budgeted for 4500 they said this year, if they want renewals then a change is needed.

I've renewed mine.
Doesn't matter how fucking bad it is (And it's not that bad) if I only wanted to see a winning team, I wouldn't have started supporting Swindon in the first place.
I can understand new people, who took advantage of the price, not paying the 2nd installment, but people who have followed Swindon for years?
If it's due to finances fine, if it's because we're not winning games fuck off then, you fickle fuckers.
your my hero  |
