Can't see it myself. No one we are likely to sign at this level would have the impact of getting another 1500 to sign up straight away.
A few stonking wins might help and top place at Christmas.
As it is I don't think AB is counting corporate and other ST just the straight purchased tickets. He'll correct me but I think we counted both back in the day.
There is good intrest though i will be getting a minimum of 5 tickets for Saturday but maybe as many as 10 tickets for our lot. Last year it was between2/3 and tickets.
had talksport on last night and they had the hartlepool chairman or somthing high up on, and they were talking about there season ticket campaign, the guy said it was during our game with them he thought how the heck is there only 2000 people here to watch the pools play a former premiere laeague team, they went away and came up with this idea, they promised all adult season tickets would be £100 if and only if they sold 4000, if they only had reached half this then the ticket would be £150 but still really cheap, they have now sold over 4000 season tickets at 100 for adults and 50 notes for under 18's. To me that is a pretty good way to do things, i could deffo see us do maybe somthing simular only bigger, if we could get say 10k season tickets sold by august the first then they would be £100 or even £200. I think there defo on to somthing here, although he said they will lose out on some walk up and pay money the revenue raised from extra programmes food and drink and merchindise will more than cover this, plus he said the players and staff cant wait to play in front of full house at home. I think its good otheres may not but could we do this airman? am i right in guessing that if we go up this year the prices will rise again? although there should be some kind of reward for those who had season tickets in league one.
I haven't had a season ticket for 10 years and as much as I'd like to, I haven't invested in one this season for 2 reasons. Firstly, as a single dad of an autistic kid that has no time for football (try as I might), Sitters and not being able to attend midweek matches could make it uneconomical as i'd probably lose any savings made.
Secondly, I much prefer a side on view East/west stand and fed up with having to keep standing up everytime we cross the halfway line with the ball. the problem being that for the privilege of this, i'd have to pay an extra £110, which puts it just out of my reach.
My aim is to make a minimum of 15 games this season.
Due to living in the north-east for 7 of the 10 yrs, I've not really been to the Valley nearly as much as I would have liked. But fuelled by optimism and a ticket in my grubby paw, I'll be there on saturday and most other weekend games.
So, if any of you lot see a lonely looking middle-age bloke sitting on his own in west lower C block, come and say hi.
Apparently £25... up £5 on last season and I think the first season we started down here it was £18
Looks like they are making up for the £100 s/t elsewhere!
Ouch , seriously £25 for Hartlepool Away?
i think it's what we charge away fans.
thinking about it, it's probably part of how they promoted the £100 s/t offer. there's some sort of rule that you cant charge away fans more for a similar ticket to a home fan.
so they are essentially saying if you are a hartlepool fan who will go to at least 4 home games, then you are just as well off getting the season ticket.
something definatley worked as they have shifted 5,700 of them as opposed to just over 2,000 last year (i think).

Id be in for that and I only make 2-3 games a season, it would definitely make travelling up more often a lot cheaper and doable.

I know it might not be possible but I'd love us to do another cheap game early in the season to try and draw old and new fans in early doors.
Great effort by the club so far in getting as many in as possible. Hopefully the Valley will be rocking as in days of old!
Don't believe you : - )
