Still not hit the 6500 full paying members, seems the new regime hasn't gone down too well? A fair few not renewing according to the pod this week.

Just been to pick up the passes. The place was very busy. Looks the appetite for next year is there among the fans.

Took us about 45 minutes to get in and then when we got out the queue was bigger than when we joined! Good to see, good idea by the club. Shop was busy too.

gave today a miss, imo, today was for the younger fans to meet the players, which is a great move by the club, will happily pick my pass up during the week when its quieter and quicker

I thought the autograph sheets were a great idea and gave us a chance to have a quick word with the players while they were signing them. Managed to have a word with Rapana, JC and Andy Last. Some good vibes among the crowd.

Hope you didn’t elbow any kids out of the way..

Not me sir, I was taking my grandson round. I thought the atmosphere was great and lovely to see so many fans there.

Club just confirmed 7.5k passes sold, only the club will know exactly how much the ownership announcement boosted sales but it seems to have kept sales coming in when usually they decline after the price discount ends.

Members double 2 tickets for £10 is back for the Wigan game along with Junior pass holders being able to get another Junior ticket for free.

Anyone who attends has to remember we are in transition, and playing the 4 time trophy winners though. No whinging if it isn't a storming start please

Full ticket prices may get some stick, it's now £34 in East Reserved though I imagine prices were worked out before the takeover (Pass prices are based on getting so many free games)

For reference City are charging £32 for the same seat.

Obviously the Club have it totally wrong when they say, ".....with club chairman Andrew Thirkill covering the cost of all of the junior tickets purchased for the Wigan game as a thank you for the incredible support of our members over the off-season, with the club now having reached the 7,500 membership mark!"
