Hirstys left peg Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 They must be on a buy one get one free !!!!! They had only sold 4000 as of the weekend anyway flip the piggies don't care if they get 12k or 25k next season they will still struggle and could even slip through the trap door into DIV 4 UTO WTID FTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 AS far as I am aware both of us have sold just under 10,000. I'd say we are probably going to sell more between now and the start of next season due to finishing the season well, and making signings over the summer.

owls maniac Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Apparantly they've sold just under 10,000 and we've sold just under 9,000. Didn't they have 20,000 season ticket holders in 2006? If so, they have lost 10,000 season ticket holders in five years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TonyOwl88 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm surprised their season ticket sales are so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I imagine they will have similar season ticket sales to last year but it's goin' to be the people who pay on the gate this season that won't be turning up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTavowl Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I hope this gives the stale Wednesdayite a kick up the rear, i will be purchasing 3 ST's before the start of May, i urge my fellow Owls to not give them the slightest thought they would out sell us.

KivoOwl Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm absolutely staggered that they've sold more than us. Really thought they'd abandon ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Who cares really? As long as we're above them and promoted next season I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkus Owlus Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It doesn't matter really, when they start getting dominated by tin pot clubs they'll all flip off back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thetruthisoutthere Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thing is they get very little walk up Where as we have always had terrific walk up This will even things out a little, we will probably have very similar gates until the league table starts to take shape - then I expect our superior league position and continued wins against their losing streak and selling their best players policy starts to effect the fan bases Theyve averaged 20,668 this season and thats with an average away crowd of 2,500 Weve done about 16,905 this season with an average away crowd of a mini bus, 1 car and half a coach every friggin game Wouldnt be surprised if next season we overtake them in terms of numbers as well as squad and league position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Nailed on for next season - More home support, more away following, better squad and promotion - SIMPLES! As above Wednesday have never been a big ST club. There are two reasons 1) there is rarely any shortage of seats at s6 2) the difference in cost between buying a season ticket and wAlking up has been eroded over the years Eg season ticket kop : 90/91 for 23 games £74 Walk up price 23 x £5 = £115 So a season ticket was 64,3% of the price of walk up What is the percentage saving now?

vontemp Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I think that supporters of both clubs deserve a bit of credit in this instance, selling that many ST's after such a poo season for us both is a good effort all round IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....That one team city 30 miles up the M1 only sold 11,000 at their early bird cut off point and look at the season them cnuts have had.

Cersei Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 The football will decide the average attendance over a season i suppose but im very dissapointed they are outselling us after our takeover and there capitulation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I was shocked by the figures, so I had to check with my father in law what he heard when at the lane Saturday (buying my wife's ticket and a free ticket for my daughter!) He is adamant that they are counting free tickets as sales and by his rough maths that has added between 3 - 4k on the total. Edit: He also got one of his other grandchildren a freeby ticket with his full priced season ticket, and with his son's full price ticket another freeby ticket for a friend's underage son. So, if that is indicative, then they are fudging figures at the lane (again) Edited April 19, 2011 by salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
