Other Clubs Transfer News

I thought this thread was about other clubs transfers not all this balderdash lol

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I'm not saying we should have achieved Lincoln's ST sales. I'm saying it's no good sitting back and moaning that they got all the breaks. And I bet they didn't just expect the tickets to fly off the shelf by resting on their laurels.

The Lawrie Mac example is a poor way to run things. You can't plan on the basis that once in (how long has it been now, 46 years!) 2 generations the appointment of a manager can have that effect. Talk about Micawberism!

I may be doing you a disservice but I think you may have missed my point. Last season Lincoln got the whole city buzzing. The need for any special action for season ticket sales for this their first season in seven in the Football League was entirely superfluous. They sold thousands in the first few days of sale.
At no point was I suggesting that the club waits for its next turn at a game changing series of events but people (not necessarily you, your post happened to come at the end of a series) suggesting that somehow we show up badly even for last season's approach to selling season tickets when compared to Lincoln are in my opinion off the mark

I'm not bothered how many season tickets Lincoln have sold, the more the merrier or the more disappointed when we go there and beat them.

Last comment from me on this thread re ST sales. Below is the price for the Early Bird offer for the Upper which is still running BTW with just under 2 weeks before the first game. Prices where frozen from last season even though as everybody points out the wage bill is higher due to the amount of pro's on the books. Numbers on the left is the offer price, middle number is the full price and last number is the percentage saving.

Adult (Over 21)            £340      £420   19%
Junior (1-14)                 £70             £105   33%
Senior Citizen (65-74)     £230     £273   16%
Senior Citizen (75+)     £140     £273   49%
Young Adult (15- 1       £140        £273   49%
Young Adult (19-21)     £190     £378   49%

Feels like the 65 -74 saving is a bit low in comparison to the others and there should be something for shift workers considering the local production based economy. Worth noting that the discounts are bigger in the other 3 seating areas for home fans. Looking at the percentage discounts it feels like they just need to should about what you could save rather than buying week in week out. The Early Bird feels like good value  

Lets open another can of worms ,the majority of clubs in this league count over 60's for age concession.

And they let you take flasks in (Shock horror)

When we get our new 14,000 seater stadium would be a good time to make some really great offers,

We could double our normal  ST sales at least with the right sales pitch.

"I may be doing you a disservice but I think you may have missed my point".

Ditto!

But I don't think I did miss your point. You seemed to be suggesting they had good luck, as did we in 1971-72. Should we be waiting for another bolt from the blue? Do you think the Club could be doing more to boost ticket sales? Or are you happy?

I don't think it was about good luck more about performances igniting an interest way beyond the norm. With Lawrie it was perhaps more about an extraordinary ability to understand the fanbase backed by performances on the pitch. In those days though season ticket sales weren't the big issue they are now.

So Mansfield haven't signed anyone then
