On plus side there's only around 13k season tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 17k is great, when was the last time we got that? We have a fairly transient but huge fanbase and being able to capture as many of them as we can is key. I'd rather have the numbers to draw from than not. All big clubs have fair weather fans. If everyone who went to Wembley who doesn't or can't get a ST but decided to go to one or two more games a season we'd have great attendances next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life, kids, family and work all have a habit of getting in the way of football and however smug you want to be with your own TrueFan status, i can guarantee that if you were me, you wouldn't have a season ticket. Acyually, I can't guarantee it, maybe you would have a season ticket if you were me. Maybe you would be happy to miss all the midweek games because the kids need picking up from school. Maybe you would be happy to make a 400 mile round trip for every game. Maybe you would just let your business go to the wall because you decided to go to the football instead of opening on your busiest day. Maybe you would use what little spare time you can make to go to the match rather than spend with your family. Its easy to make special plans for a day which explains Wembley for some of us but I, like many many other people, will manage to make 6,7 maybe 8 games this season at much greater effort and expense than some of the TrueFans who like so much to belittle the rest of us.

I've had a season ticket for years and now have a 3 year one but that's a great post. Maybe a little more empathy with each other's situation wouldn't go a miss. I just want to see Hillsborough as full as poss and the team winning as much as poss every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklord Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 We should all be celebrating more fans getting season tickets instead of lambasting those that haven't got one. There's always some trying to turn a positive into a negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiejohn Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 So far so good and let's hope we can get 20000 as it would be a watershed I can't see us being far off at worst especially as I can see a surge in sales in the last few days But for me the important thing is keeping the numbers at this level and higher obviously promotion, is the easiest way to do this but I hope the club are on the ball in January to keep everyone on bbc n board and growing our season ticket holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hirstpower Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Londonowl where a abouts in London are you based? I'm in Willesden, How do you get to these 8 games? Car or train. If you go by car maybe we could share the expenses. Edited June 10, 2016 by Hirstpower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growling Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 1 hour ago, davey_wells said: Best post on here for a long time Totally agree with that / London Owls comment. Fact is that not everyone lives in Sheffield that went to Wembley and simply impossible to justify an s.t. I would be doing a disservice to the seat if I had an st... meaning I wouldn't be sat in it half the time and potentially denying someone else the seat. I will go as much as is practically possible and I will sing as loud as I can but the season ticket can't be done by everyone or even half who were at Wembley. Thrilled that this many have signed up tho. BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS WE NEED HILLSBOROUGH NOT TO BE A MORGUE. Let's face it last season it was a little bit flat for some games. Rather have 10k who make loads of original noise than 25k who don't. So much to be positive about so let's get behind the best we have seen in a generation. Olè olè, olè awww WAWAW....

Spot on pal my budget will get me a membership between 6 and 8 home games couple of away days and playoff final if we do it all again we'll average over 25K next season no problem.

stocksyuto Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 17k st and we usually get around 6k ticket/potg/away fans so looking at 23k and thats if more dont buy ticket. I am expecting memberships to go crazy this year aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Great effort. Would'nt suprise me if we ended up with 20k. If we make Hillsborough a fortress next season the top two is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
