I'd put myself in that category but the timing of the release won't make a difference to me. Neither will any promotion or incentives.


But if the buy this season for next season discount was maybe 50 quid...and announcing that next season on the day sales will rise by 1 quid per game...  ??

That way the club get monies in early, allowing a better prepared forecast of income, giving a clearer budget for the manager to work with starting Saturday evening, which may just help capture some early exciting signings...which in turn may boost more sales...which raises talk around the town...

or....
Hi its July...you must be missing football by now and because you have always bought a ticket then buy another one and because you are so loyally blind to the fact we failed to win over half of our games that you are paying up front to watch, it wont bother you that we will charge the same or potentially increase the price.

That's a fair assessment but it makes no odds to me personally, though i can see it may do to others. What's better for the club:- me buying a discounted season ticket for say £250, or me paying on the day over the season and the club receiving over £400? I'll go to 90% or more of the games anyway. Maybe the club ought to concentrate on getting things right on the pitch, then the rest will fall into place.

I'd guess that any early income from season tickets would show in this years accounts ( Year end 31st May).

That income could increase our profit and potentially mean we have a tax bill that the ex Weaver Wroot grey man will advise against??


If the income relates to the next financial year, then it would be accrued and not count in this years accounts as in essence it's a payment in advance. Or so I am led to believe.

Just because we are GTFC does not mean that we should had the biggest budget while in the non league, during that period, there were other league clubs  (Luton, Wrexham, Bristol Rovers, Tranmere and Lincoln) trying to achieve the same goal.  Then you have the non league clubs being bank rolled (Crawley, Fleetwood, Forest Green, Eastleigh, Barrow) chasing the dream of league football.  The non-league is the hardest league to gain promotion with only 2 clubs being promoted.

We would have had a competitive budget this season, not the biggest nor the smallest.  We need to re-establish ourselves, which we have achieved this season, job done.

Mr Fenty is like Marmite you either love or hate him, but John is a GTFC fan like us. I like someone said on here the other day, with all the going ons at other cluabs (Leyton Orient, Blackpool, Charlton, Blackburn, Cardiff, Coventry, Forest etc) at the moment, you appreciate John a bit more.

Chasing the dream, but at what cost, I know which I prefer.

Looking forward to next season already, why because I have black and white running my through veins.


There is that but then you look at Burton, Fleetwood, Southend, Rochdale etc and wonder what might have been. I would never advocate outlandish spending but long term plans and growth targets are part of proper management and leadership

Fleetwood are a bad example; they have a lot of money.

It invested in players AND infrastructure. Now got a very clear development plan taking on youngsters released from the big NW clubs and giving them an opportunity. They spent initially to get them into the league but not buying players now.
