Watkins did say it was "very few" who sent back their tickets so it seems the overwhelming response has been positive.

I think most of the season ticket shortfall between last season and now is people that got them on the back of 09-10.
It's a very small (but vocal) number of people who have turned their back on the club due to PdC's devil worship.
4250 ST holders in League 2 is very impressive.

Do you just read what you want to read Gazza?

Some have expressed their unhappiness and sent their season tickets back but it is very few.

If you can find me more than 10 people who have done this then please do mate

Mixed response?  Are you having a laugh?  750 down on last season is incredible given the shite people had to put up with last season.

Get a grip.

I meant more to the point the article says its positive but spends more time highlighting the fact people returned tickest albeit very few.

Not really loads of stuff. A minority of fans have sent back season tickets and murmered about how they don't agree about Paolo's politics but hardly the end of the world.

We've sold 4,250 season tickets in Division 4 after an absolute holocaust of a season. To me, that is a positive response.

Just to counter Gazza'a spin to the article

FFS Gazza, we can all read it.

Because I haven't walked away due to the apointment of PDC. It makes a great story if a long time supporter, who had gone through a lot of shit to get to games, sometimes in pain, a former fan of the year leaves the club, the journos love that kind of thing.

I respect that Mex is a man of principle and miss his posts.

However am i not right in saying he wasn't going to renew anyway this year though? Before the PDC announcement.
