ST Renewals

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

3,500 season ticket holders is impressive for the 4th division.

I reckon we might make 4500 to be honest.

Nah that's a bit too optimistic. We won't sell many after the deadline. That's exactly why the board have extended it.

[4D]

I didn't know it was being extended, but I informed Nick W. that there were a lot of people who had received nothing from the club re renewals.  He told me they were ringing people who hadn't renewed and offering a short-time extension, must be this Friday.






Cue, loads of people saying now that nobody has rung them!!!

Nobody has called me.

[Benzel]

Is it just for renewals at the moment?

[otanswell]

Bit the bullet and sent my form off today...I must be mad

From facebook

With all outstanding Season Ticket renewals now completed, Phase 2 prices will now be in operation from 9am on this Wednesday 6th April. Over 3,300 supporters have already renewed for next season, and the club are hopeful to see a similarly positive take-up during Phase 2.

3300 not too bad all things considered.

[RJack]

Can't see many more people taking up Season Tickets tbh after Phase 1 prices.  I certainly wouldn't pay £299 if i could get it for £259 in Phase 1 unless i was flush.

Any more uptakes will be new season ticket holders or the odd late renewal.

[GoldersGreenRed]

My intake of games will definitely be reduced next season

[Luci]

No contact from the club either...not that it would make me renew unless they fancy paying for my train fare back to Swindon every other week.

I'll try and get to away games mostly I'd imagine next year.  Will be easier.

We wont get anything over 4,000. The only thing that will tip the balance is if the board have a big name lined up to come in at the end of the season. A Wise or a Hoddle type manager that will get people interested again.

I totally agree, assuming we go down we really need something to excite the fans to get them to part iwth hard-earned cash.  Offering Hart a contract simply will not do - or Trollope for that matter!

I've just got my first ever season ticket after following the town for 20 odd years.  I must be mad  . Ince has just left Notts is that a big enough manager or should we stay away?

[pauld]

Ince needs to do his time somewhere at League 1/2. As in 2-3 years with a promotion in there and solidly establishing whoever in the division above and looking to push on. Then he could progress to a decent Championship side and progress that way, rather than trying to fast track into the Prem like he did with Blackburn and getting found out as being totally out of his depth. Not to say he won't one day be able to take a Prem side, but he certainly wasn't ready then.

[blah blah]

I've just had a call from the ticket office, wanting feedback as to why I didn't renew. This is the first direct communication I have had from the club regarding renewing. Maybe if they really wanted me to renew, they should have contacted me before the deadline ?

[flammableBen]

I haven't heard from the club in years blah blah. Pretty normal stuff I think.

Probably a fair comment, but traditionally (and this probably goes for most clubs) i doubt they would ever have contacted you at all. Anyone who wasn't aware of the deadline must have had their head in the sand the last 2 months and i'm sure you have your reasons for not renewing. Lack of contact from the club is unlikely to be one of these reason though.
