We'll get 3000 before the weekend is up no problem.

It's the hardcore 3,000 that will or have renewed. We won't get much more on top of that unless a big name or 2 arrives over the summer like Wise did back in 06.

What was this seasons ST figure? 5600 or so? If we get 4000 that would be remarkable. 3000 is a massive decrease in "up front" cash  |

But how many of the 5600 took up the offer only because there was a chance of Championship football at a very low price?
Look at it historically over the past few years and I'd imagine 3000-4000 was the norm.

This season was 5600 ish admittedly with Wembley goundswell, last season was circa 5000 because of the "get to 6000" promotion and cheap prices. Fitton & co were getting more of our fanbase to buy season tickets.
3000-4000 seems a backwards step, though obviously getting relegated does that so what do I expect!

This season isn't even over yet (I know we're down) and people are commenting on ST sales. |

That's what happens when early bird discount ends 4 months from the beginning of next season!

Oh right, assumed you realised that earlybird ends on Sunday. There may be a last minute rush after then I suppose....

According to last year's thread as of April 12th we only sold 2500, and there was disappointment that the £199 tickets didn't sell as well as expected. So I suppose it's hard to call based on current figures. http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,37373.240.html |

I think our 'core' is bigger than it used to be. If we do challenge next year (by which I mean remaining in the top 10 for most of the season), I would expect our average gate to fall only by 1,000 or so.
I know that's a big if.

It doesn't really matter how many season tickets we sell. If we're near the top and winning football matches we'll get all the casuals coming back anyway. We'll average around 7,000 at the start of next season. Fans are a fickle bunch.
