    65 left apparently, including a couple of pairs together in lower covered end.

    Plus an additional 6 singles in west stand upper block R that keep disappearing then reappearing.

    Lower north should be a safe standing area.

    The rake is not ideal for seating and this would be a great development if allowed to happen.
    Both the lower Covered End and indeed the Jimmy Seed show their age in terms of the seating rake and legroom, safe standing would be ideal

    Don't think I've ever known us sell out over a week before a game.

    Really impressive, fiver a ticket or not.
    Must've happened in the premier league years?
    Don't think so - but I maybe mistaken.

    That's me stuffed. On-call for work so can only attend if possible late doors. If we sell out can they provide one of those Valley Pass £10 streams, like you can get for midweek games?

    Generally speaking, Football for a Fiver games are no worse and no better than normal games in terms of net revenue. We used to spend a significant amount on promotion. No idea now.

    We’ve also seen some growth in matchday ticket sales, which in turn moves the revenue target up. I would say it’s a stretch with this game to match the standard revenue but it’s not a significant cost.

    Assume 4,000 home matchday ticket sales and 1,000 away sales at average net revenue of £17 (might be lower) = £68k.

    Replace with, say, 14,000 sales at net £4.17 = £58k.

    There will be growth in ancillary sales but we don’t know how that is shared with the club as everything except the programme is outsourced.

    In any event as I keep stressing the club gets virtually all the net ticket revenue as “profit”; everything else has a significant cost of sale that offsets the revenue.

    The exercise works as a one-off; it wouldn’t work as a regular thing because as stated it would devalue season tickets.

    In an ideal world the first game under ESN would have been good for football for a fiver. In the event we were struggling to get a team out.

    I think he's telling you to buy one anyway, then you've only lost £5 if it turns out you can't make it from work.

    Taking my two boys to this one. Had to get tickets lower west down the Jimmy Seed end to get three together though. It's my youngests 5th birthday on the Thursday, so a little treat for him. COYA
    I'm phoning Esther Rantzen, that's beyond the pale
    Haha....you may have a point @StigThundercock

    I originally bought two then gave to my son & his girlfriend when the call-out rota was confirmed. I'd rather someone attends than an empty seat.
