We expected to win last season We are a little more circumspect this Simple really Some haven't got the stomach for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So am i and so do i, but there's plenty who can't afford to and plenty that can who don't go. We as a club need to change that and our commercial/cooperate side too. Until DC learns from his mistakes AND we have a winning side then it will continue to be as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't afford a season ticket this season so forking out that kind of money isn't an option, especially when I'm looking at close to a tenner in travel costs. The POTG prices are a disgrace, and this season I've only gone when the prices have been reduced (Birmingham and Brentford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We averaged 27k two seasons ago, 26k last season and it’s down to 23k this season. 4,000 people who were going every week at the start of last season have stopped going. And it was the first time we’d played them for over 5 years so there was always going to be more demand for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LittleG Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've got a season ticket so will be there Monday, however I have every sympathy with those who have to POTG and don't blame anybody who refuses/can't pay those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday afternoon, first derby in 6 years and we were massive favourites. Makes a huge difference whether it's a weekend game or a night match. There are lots of reasons why people cant make this one.

Did we have more season ticket holders last season? Genuine question as I don't know the answer. All I can say is that I personally know of three people who didn't renew this season. I'm sure they'll be many more people who will also know of others who also didn't renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we had 21,500 season ticket holders last season and this season around 20,000. I suspect membership numbers are well down on previous seasons which contributes to keeping some away.

To be honest I expected us to lose last season they were above us pre match, I think we have more chance of winning this season although they start heavy favourites.
