    I understand that players have been told over 9000 tickets have been sold.

    LOL! The players have also been told they are playing for a club that is moving forward under a progressive and well-liked owner, has a much admired Chief Executive and a loyal fan base that stands full square behind the management.

    Anyway, the players will soon realise they have been told a pack of lies when they run out in front of about 6 or 7000 people for the second home game of the season, a Tuesday night visit from Shrewsbury!

    The players already know that KM is a liar and none of them like her.

    No way will that be the amount sold!
    That's roughly the same as last season!
    No I don't believe it for one moment either, not that I believe anything that comes out of the club, but that's what I was told by someone who knows few of them. He was equally astounded by the comment and I don't think the players in question believed it.

    Or is that, only 2% sold?

    It has {...} in front of it so I think it's the official figure from Roland.

    CAFCTickets have just put it out on twitter so I would say it's pretty reliable.

    Are they the same people that tell you there was 15+k in the Valley when it was nearer 10k? ;)

    5,368 season tickets if true is a significant drop.

    Back to the early 70's historic level of 7,000 to 8,000 attendances.

    It's not the official account. It's a new parody one I think that has been started by a poster from the Facebook group.

    No idea if he has heard that figure genuinely, or he has simply gone through the blocks and added up the non availables, in which case it won't be completely accurate. I suspect the later

    5k is closer to what I had heard than 9k or 3k.

    Suspect will reach 7k or just under by kick off but that is just my guestimate

    Thanks.

    An excellent victory by the fans in showing our contempt for the Belgians, all pointing to advertised gates of less than 10k next season.

    I'm so sad the club is now in this position, where and when will it all end?

    Bolton less than 8k to see the glorious 2-2 draw.

    7,000 is a lot more than I expected. Given what happened last season and the culmination in the Burnley game, I'd be doing cartwheels if we achieve that number if I was Katrien.

    Just got in from Welling and seen this.
    It surely to goodness didn't happen, the players being told that. I need a lot more convincing.

    My understanding is that North Lower has sold a lot of tickets, but overall the season ticket business is very bad,

    Understandable due to price

    I really really really hope they give me a call. I would love it, love it, if they did.

    In revenue terms the split of ticket sales is looking pretty disastrous - around a third of all sales are in the lower north where the average net ticket revenue from season tickets is going to be well under £6 a game (the adult ticket only generates £140 net and there will be a minimum of 25% of concessions in there, which itself is low compared to the ground as a whole). Leaving aside any other issue, it was always going to damage revenue to offer seats in the lower north for half the price in the upper tier, which has been largely abandoned.

    I suspect there are many waverers elsewhere in the ground, waiting to see how the transfer window progresses.

    If we reach the end of August with a good squad for this division, and start the campaign well, then more people will renew

    Ah, that's how they're managing to get players to sign.

    Based on a quick check of the online system, the number of seats "in use" is certainly around the 5,000 mark - I think we can disregard as nonsense any claims they have sold much over that at this stage. The total number is currently under 1,000 in the east stand and fewer than 600 in the upper north.

    I wonder what sitting in the ground with even less vocal support will be like.

    Yep the guy who told me the 9000 story asked around and I spoke to him last night and he said was in fact in the region of 5300.

    Still think 5,000 is too high but I understand people buying them when we signed ajose et all

    Will be a bit overstated as there are hundreds of comps in the lower west - block B in particular. But equally wheelchair spaces are not shown on the online system.
