Ben Bebbington Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I have. Despite only attending a handful of games last season. I may have to juggle work commitments depending on what days home matches are. Same here mate, I'm already written out of some games I expect, and will have to miss a few Tuesdays no doubt, but I've definitely got the bug now.

NYCOWL Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The sad thing is I know 2 people who went to Wembley when the last game they went to was the play off final at Cardiff, I wonder if they will be taking advantage of this cracking deal. Well clearly they won't. I would have thought that people who went to 5-10 games last season would be a more realistic hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well clearly they won't. I would have thought that people who went to 5-10 games last season would be a more realistic hope It just bugs the f☆☆k out of me, there are fair weather fans and then there are blatant pi☆☆ takers. The thing that really grates on me is one of them is mortgage free, grown up kids and financially secure, absolutely no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlLuke Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's still earlybird price... a good deal on credit too, easy to organise I'm told. Yeah I meant by turning 25 since the last opportunity to buy a season ticket I now have to spend an extra £100, sucks to be me I guess Yeah I'll be looking at what credit is available to me if I can get one this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StowOwl Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Have my NEW ST and they were disappearing on the kop as I watched. Several sections around the ground with low availability according to the colour coding. I'll be honest, personal circumstances meant that for about 5 years, I haven't been able to get to Hillsborough at all whilst I paid off the national debt to HMRC. Try justifying that "going to watch Wednesday" is a necessity to the Official Receiver and see how far that gets you! Did that make me a bad fan during those years? No of course it didn't. Have I tried to get to games during that time - yes, but not as much as I'd like and for a couple of years not at all. I managed to get there Saturday through my brother (cue cries of derision) and realised I couldn't stand it any longer... (or should that be sit? )... anyway as soon as they came up this morning, I bought one with my new found financial freedom. I live in Gloucestershire, so it's no jump on a bus or tram for me... it's a flipping hike for every game, but I will be there and hopefully some of the away's as well. What I'm saying is... why does suddenly having a season ticket make me better than someone who is financially struggling or has other commitments or constraints on their time? It doesn't. We are all fans in whatever way we can support. I totally agree with the sentiment that if you can't afford a ST, at least try and be a member... but it gives no one the right to judge IMO! *Waits for abuse* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I think our highest number of season tickets sold was around 19,000 in early 90s. We could possibly beat this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacock1961 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 pretty sure the i paid £100 for my young un at the early bird price its now £150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Interesting that we only sold 1k or so during the early bird period. Can we really expect any more than that during this phase after missing out on promotion? Would imagine most people who haven't bought one already were waiting to see which division we'd be in. Hopefully some of the Brighton and Wembley crowd are tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaminowl Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Imagine if we sold 20k STs Will we then have 5,000 ST holders who don't turn up for games or will it still be 4,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadzilla Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This would be ideal, but with a 40,000 stadium, an average this season of 23,000, and being able to get a Wembley ticket with 10/20 TPP points (or begging for someone elses on here!), many people won't bother with membership if it doesn't benefit them. Had we won promotion at the weekend, then you would need to be a season ticket holder or member to even get a match day ticket! Didn't Cardiff and Brighton prove we don't have a 40k stadium.
