This is seats unavailable on the system and does not mean 4,563 have been sold. It excludes wheelchair spaces and some hospitality, but is likely to include significant staff and other comps. I expect there are also small counting errors in these figures, but they should cancel out. The actual sale to date is likely to be under 4,500.
tied Ricky Holmes to a new, improved contract
sign at least 3 new players (inc the 2 that were in the stands v Swindon)
agreed the contracts for JJ & Bowyer.
Seeing that the only movement we've seen is 1 new player coming in & he only joined us because no-one else wanted him & will have no re-sale value, is not a great advertisement to enhance season ticket sales.
I, for one, will only renew once I get reassurance that Holmes has signed a new contract & not sold by 31st Aug - and we sign some decent players who have the appetite to get us out of this godforsaken league (and I mean upwards - not downwards)
More realistic prices for the expensive parts of the ground PLUS an actual discount for renewing early might have have tempted a few more as well...
Do not be misled by these people, keep your money in your pocket.
Got to admire some people dedication....... no not those who have bought a ticket but those who have gone online and counted up!
If we only manage 6-7k on average, you could fit the entire crowd into the west stand.
idiotsfans out there that would renew in the current circumstancesI renewed, partly because my kids wanted to and at £100 each was worth it. I'm paying less for three (or about the same) as I did for just mine when RD arrived so also sort of justify it on that.
If my kids can see it through the hard times they'll be here for future owners, if they didn't come at this age, with one off to Uni soon they probably never would.
