    Need at least another three zeros on the end of that to equal last season's total

    If we can get 9000 + for a season like this we can sell plenty for next season.. Every season there is a thread like this and every time sales exceed expectations.

    And chatting to customers in my place, 4 have indicated they will not renew including a family (all had ST this season).

    I’d like Park to be right on this and people flock back but I think he’s in for a rude awakening. Our season ticket sales have only gone one way since 2018 and that was before a pandemic that has hit many families hard and unfortunately taken many lives, then add to that our lowest finish in 9 years with some pretty drab football and I don’t know how you can have any other conclusion than the current trend continuing.

    My personal guess would be 8,000.

    You’ve no faith in the current squad, but we replace the squad and manager every season and have been at best hit and miss since Rahic sacked McCall. There is something about recruitment or the club which means players don’t seem to give a shit, their confidence goes or they are just not up to the job. Until that changes I can’t see the fortunes of the club changing and that means fewer and fewer will by a ST.

    Did we not have approximately 14,000 last season.

    If you are actually talking about this season then 12,000 was a big ask when everyone was unsure how the season would pan out due to lockdowns

    There is no chance of us getting anywhere near 9,000. A lot of people still have covid fear and won't entertain sitting in crowds and the chances of attracting newbies went when we decided promotion wasn't something we wanted this season.

    Sorry I meant this current season and my 12,000 was when season tickets first went on sale, so pre covid

    So are you saying that I-follow is a good method to get people interested in getting a season ticket?

    On that basis do you think the option should continue?

    Possibly. I think we all understand that there is some ‘illegal’ streaming of live games. I guess we know that it is likely to continue to occur. However if home games were available through i-follow, then it could reduce the number and provide a revenue stream for the club. As @Park bantam@Park bantam has clearly demonstrated, i-follow is a method to attract potential Season Ticket holders! I guess one way is to market i-follow as an ‘add on’ to the Season Ticket. You buy your season Ticket and say for £10 per game you can get a pass for home and away matches. If you don’t have a Season Ticket, you pay £20 a game for a code. If your Season Ticket is recorded at the turnstile, you cannot ‘buy’ an i-follow match pass for the same game. I think we have gone through scenario’s when people due to health, weather, holiday, work, etc cannot get to home games and that distance/travel and limited numbers on away fans, would be additional reasons for away games.

    That would be hard to police because how do you tell who is away and who is home fans?

    could it be the myriad 'supporters' on here who continually call the [players out as 'dogsh*ite' or worse?
