Apologies if this has been asked before but, I picked my away shirt up yesterday and noticed the woman in the shop looking through several pages of names of (I presume) season ticket holders who have ordered away shirts. Being as slow as I am I have only just thought it would be interesting to know how many names (season ticket holders) are on the list.I can only remember guesses in the past so does any one know the official figure already, and if not will anyone who is picking up a shirt ask and post in the near future?

not at any word from the club that shirt was ready.
as anyone had a post about it?

was on club website and I got a text on 4th January at 15.45

We never disclose numbers because it would look bad. i don't expect to have more than 1,000 full season ticket holders.

We had 1300 season ticket holders last season to give you an indication. Don't know what it will be this year with the membership. You may have to look at season ticket holders and PAYGo members this year.

A large number of those 1300 would be kids, which as an income stream isn't great. (this is different to long term planning and strategy)

Membership only again doesn't produce any income at the point of purchaase but is more about brand loyality.

The current system hits the lone fan (whether a billy no mates or someone who has a disinterested partner) I know someone who hasn't got a ticket this year after 25+ years because of the scheme.

why though? they could of bought the ticket without the membership which would of been the same price as what it would of been with a membership, i cant see how the membership scheme would put many 'single' people off as they could still purchase a season ticket if they wanted to...

i dont know about price but i doubt it would have gone up by much and after 25+ years of loyalty i wouldnt have thought they would of been put off by a few more quid?

My season ticket still hasn't come!!

I did not renew, nor do I intend to! The current scheme is got good value for money. I am afraid the club need to realise that loyalty is not a one way street. I also will not pay the extra to pay on the gate. Clearly, my support is no longer required.

Why is it not good value?

Why will you be paying extra on the gate?
