cb_diamond Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Anybody have any idea what our level of season ticket sales are so far and what they were last season? Asking more in hope than expectation given the watertight ship that is club information Edited July 14, 2023 by cb_diamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there would be much of a bounce . I saw someone mentioning they thought our home gates would be bigger this year but even with promotion I think our average home crowd will be about the same. But seriously, try messaging the club, see if they get back to you. Or if you nip on to collect yours ask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely fair most other normal clubs, including plenty in our own division just actively tell people these numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the drama if I'm honest. If we are thinking it's maybe 500 there's no way the club are celebrating that. Easily one of the lowest in the league, but lets put it out that we are shifting a quarter of some other teams in the league becuase folk on the pie and bovril might moan. Opens the club up to ridicule when you have other clubs shifting 2k season tickets and we're celebrating something that would be on par with mid table league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not for celebratory or non celebratory purposes.

I'll ask , and let ya know. We seem to parkour from "clubs deliberately not recruiting players" to "Strips!!!! why don't we have strips this is tin pot" and now on to "season tickets numbers" See if folk honestly think it's that bad, don't give them money , don't go. This is the best the club has been run both on and off the pitch in a long time , we are In the championship, we are starting the season with a decent squad that yes needs strengthened but we are starting from a good base. If all this comes at the cost of not being told the season ticket numbers then who cares. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am absolutely delighted we are finally out of the hellscape that is L1. Yes, I am hopeful that we will be able to strengthen our team beyond what we have now. Yes, I trust that Rhys has a plan and good ideas. However, I am a bit pissed off, as I was last year and the year before that that we get f#ck all info from the club, about pretty much anything. Year on year we ARE always last to get strips out, season tickets out etc etc. Those are valuable income streams that the club could be maximising by getting their finger out of their arses. So no, I won't be having a temper tantrum boycott because I don't know how many season books we've punted, but by the same token I won't clap my hands and go "la la la this is amazing, I'm so happy" when there are things that are a bit "tinpot" Seems reasonable enough? No? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 To be fair it's not just you. And I'm not wanting to make out like your a dick... I just want people to be a bit more realistic about our position as a club. We have a lovely strip out the now with new home tops touted for the end of July. It's a difference of a couple of weeks ? The club have been bringing in fans reps , did you apply ? Did any of the folk who love a good moan and cry foul play by the club apply ? I get that it's rubbish when things are quiet but are they gonna announce we've sold 350 season tickets 3 weeks before the season starts? Probably not. Are they gonna announce signing targets , of course not. So I just dont get the hate pointed towards the club. Im not clapping my hands and "la la la ing" I'm just calming the F down cause there's not much to get upset about. 11 minutes ago, cb_diamond said: You're trying to make me sound like a dick here,, so I'll bite.

Not to kick the arse out of this but the "difference of a couple of weeks" means less strips and season tickets sold, it also means more goodwill momentum from the playoff lost. If season tickets had been out quickly in the first half of June like loads of clubs do I would have probably bought one, despite the fact I know I'll be working a bunch of Saturdays during the season because I was hyped as you liked after the playoff final. By the time they came out I had realised it was a daft idea and will just buy tickets for the matches I can make. That's what I'm talking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny_m Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Anyway, lets kick off with a win today as any other result will probably end any chance of progression in this cup as well as leading to a social media melt down and I hope everyone is on here later tonight raving about O'Connor and Aiken. I'm not forgetting about Todorov but I believe he's virtually guaranteed to be a success but it will be pleasing if the 2 Hibee's look like they can become regular starters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
