number of season tickets sold???

[axs]

4,000 sold is already as good as i thought we would get, hope they reach the 4,600 target now.

[Luci]

I think with the new signings they will

[Spy]

Personally I don't think we will hit 4,600 given the fact season tickets are now full price. If we did hit that I think the board would be well happy with it and so would I.

IF cox were to stay I think we would hit 4,600.

See, I really don't think they're going to sign anyone that will persuade people who haven't already paid up to get one.

I suppose if there was a definitve statement that Cox was staying that might have an effect, but I doubt it.

4000 is a really good effort though.

[nevillew]

Yep.

We were gonna get a 3 year one but enquired on a 5 year one.

£1,350 for 5 seasons.

**Reg Alert** That's quite expensive for two relegations and three years of Conference football **Reg Alert**

I'm with neville - the vast majority of people who are going to buy a ST will already have done so, very few buty at full price. But 4000 is still bloody good - we used to average 2500-3000.

[Luci]

Fair enough, I think my optimism might have taken over there as I had indeed forgetten the prices are higher now.

I still think we could get a few hundred more though, perhaps not the full 4600

Me and dad renewed on thursday.

We cut a deal with Nick Watkins on a 5 year one.


Then again that is cheap for Premiership football in two years time!

If anyone can afford it this is now the most cost effective way now, over 3 or more years at £250 per season.

Or really expensive for 1 season of 1st Division football if the club go bust in the next 12 months.

Anyone know what happens to all the money from season ticket sales? Does it just go in to the black hole that is the club's current account, or does it get ring fenced and then paid to the club in instalments over the course of the season?

[Phil_S]

I would imagine it all goes to the club to help the cashflow. Don't forget we now have new owners & are probably mosre finacially stable than a lot of clubs. eg Liverpool, Southampton, Newcastle

[pauld]

It used to be that if you paid by credit card, the credit card companies would hand over the money one month at a time. However, that was a special arrangement imposed by the cc companies at the time as we were in such an appalling state financially and they didn't want to be left holding the baby if we went belly up half way through the season. It may well have been lifted now.

But as Phil says, we're not the Swindon Town of two years ago or the Southampton of today. We're not going bust anymore

[Arriba]

how much family at war?

If you calculate the lost interest on this money (admittedly not a lot at current rates) then on average it's probably going to be more like £275 a season, which I'm sure still works out cheaper.

[Luci]

I'm sure Ralphy mentioned something like £1350 the other day unless I imagined it
