Quoted from Chrisblor
Ours aren't even on sale yet because the club is incapable of forward planning or any kind of innovative marketing. Hope this helps!


I think that's very harsh.

The club could well have ordered some season ticket books as early as February/March time but what would have happened if the club changed name or the two years that the season fall in changed, or even what if the alphabet changed and all the letters for each stub had to be changed?

We would have looked very foolish!

They still haven't sent them out (no surprises there). I can't understand why the club are so slow at organising season ticket sales every year, and seemingly averse to any suggestion they start putting them on sale earlier (or heaven forbid, actually come up with some kind of innovative season ticket marketing or pricing strategy!)

Personally, I'd have reduced prices last year, had people knocking on doors, standing on street corners and added extra incentives for season tickets such as reduced prices for cup matches. If you'd have done this then we would have sold lots more and if we'd have put them up slightly this year and kept the incentives, I'm sure we could be looking at shifting 3k plus this year and getting much bigger gates for cup games.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

How very negative  

Easily solved though.  With every season ticket you get a free (cheepo) GTFC pen.  In the event of the multi billionaire takeover and the change to Grimsby Mariners, or Steven Hawking revealing that the Roman Calendar is 3 years incorrect and Brexit meaning we now have to speak Esperanto and change our alphabet, simply cross out the incorrect information and write the correct information next to it.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

ST incentives would help. I've never had one apart from the odd cinema voucher or bring a friend for £10 from a few seasons ago.

Half price Pre-season entry to games and £2 off full ticket price for cup games would cost the club nothing and would seem to the fans to be getting something back from the club...?

Or every season ticket bought you get a brick named on the wall in the new stadium.....   *** oh

It's only 11 weeks until kick off, cutting it a bit fine.
