I think it is tomorrow isn't it for early bird Is it me, out has there been very little push from the club on this? on social media anyway. I admit I think I've opted out marketing so don't get the emails everyone else seems to. edit https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2023/march/2324-season-ticket-pricing/actually might be today "Early Bird (Available until Saturday 29 April):" Especially given when the last AB was on they admitted Season Ticket sales had been very poor. I just had a quick scan of the ST details and noticed this as a benefit - "Have your views represented at our regular Advisory Board meetings." I thought all fans were able to have views represented, or have I totally misunderstood what this means. (more than likely) |

That said if we are talking 15 rooms in a travelodge its what, £750 for 15 rooms. Easier to book and cancel?
And that £750, hell even £1500 would definitely come in very handy for a promotion push next season and not marked in the miscellaneous costs folder... I can't understand people saying that saving that kind of amount is beneficial, even £3k wouldn't be a relatively good saving for a professional football club. I would understand it if we were a Level 7 side or even a Conference South team. But STFC aren't and never should be. Seriously, what does it actually get you in League Two...one weeks wage of a top ish earner? Pays for a cleaner to keep the bogs fresh all season? Pays for an intern for a couple of months...oh wait...  #ChumpChange |

So it's probably not much of a cost saving. |

If so a lot of people are more likely to hold off I would think |

I think that is due to an OSC membership being included? You are right anyone can email OSC/Trust though. |

Have until the end of May to keep the same seat, that’s probably more of a deadline for some |

Early bird's just been extended until the end of May. Sales must be pretty grim.

Therefore another "learning moment" for this novice exec team |

I wish we were in the situation where not renewing might mean that you lose your seat due to rush of sales  |

When was the last time early bird wasn’t extended? |
