Yes, absolutely, two months to buy a season ticket. But I don't think the time frame is the concern here.
It's the fact that season tickets are the single most important source of income for the club, so you'd think they'd be really proactive - talking about next season, enticing us to buy them, getting them out there before people spend all their money on other stuff.
But no. Every other club seems to be proactive on this, and we're well behind.
There is no doubt in my mind. The longer the club fails to put season tickets on sale, the fewer they will sell.
Also, this topic is clearly a concern for some of our fans and once again the club has shown no effort to communicate with us.

Storm in a teacup comes to mind. Probably as simple as the people who print the season tickets (I imagine it's a specialist piece of equipment ) are just overwhelmed with orders at this time of year. Living with our back to the sea does tend to limit your choices for all sorts of reasons and I think it's likely that they are printed out of town.Just a thought........... personally I'm more interested in any new signings first.

There was a problem last year with this company which led to a delay in season ticket books being sent out. I was about to defend them then by saying most clubs now have electronic cards instead of tickets which you just scan in at the turn style but it would obviously not be financially viable for us if the new stadium goes ahead but then I thought to my self, surely it's not that difficult to print off 25 pieces of paper and put a staple through it. Is it pre season yet, |

It's a fair point Stranger itp. But the printing thing only becomes an issue as the first game approaches. The club could still be taking money off people early or at least taking orders and start generating a 'me too' feeling about the place.

It's almost like the club don't want my money in their bank account asap to aid their cashflow/ earning intrest if in the black/ paying down debts/overdrafts to reduce any intrest owed if in the red/ paying bills due now with cash in bank rather than waiting around..

Quoted from 935
[quote=139740]Are the club taking the urine out of you and I, the fans?
Many think the fact that season tickets renewals are not available yet is crazy. Not top of my list of priorities but as a minimum, shouldn't the club or even the Trust explain why? May be a perfectly good reason but communication seems to.be going back to the dark days again.
Potentially an excellent signing announced at 7pm last night, but many knew he signed a couple of weeks ago. What are the club hoping to gain by these cloak and dagger, control freakish shenanigans? Boost for season tickets sales? Really? Is there anyone who will get a season ticket because we signed an untried kid who wouldn't have been buying a season ticket anyway? If this is the extent of our PR and Marketing set up we are more amateur than the sternest club critic ever thought.
This charging for the charity game crap. The club announced they didn't know it was for charity? Really? It was on the Official website for god sake. The Trust chairman seemed to back up / support the club, which is again increasingly concerning.
Others have said the Trust appear to be just an arm of the club rather than the voice of their membership.
If the club communication on the above, and more, matters is so bad, shouldn't the Trust be questioning, in public, rather than the softly softly in house lobbying that nobody ever hears about?
Enjoy the sunshine. UTM[/quot
Really struggling to understand the point you re making... Theres nearly 11 weeks till the season starts and as the poster above points out you can simply pick up the phone and buy a season ticket, its not a secret as to where they sell them. Just because the club hasnt had a big campaign doesnt mean they re taking the urine out of you. Do you think Mars are taking the urine because you havent seen an advert in a while? you can still find a bounty at the local corner shop...
As for this payment for the charity game, thats even more stupid to complain about. Any way you look at it someone is going to have to foot the bill. If you want the club to pay for the stewards[/b][b], electricity, etc for that day then dont complain when the money for that comes out of the wage budget, because it has to come from somewhere. But people will because everytime anyone is signed or appointed its "boooo cheap option" or i cant beleive the club is being so tight as to release A Player... Or is it that you expect people to give up their whole saturday to work without being paid, cos thats a bit excrement.
It genuinely seems with GTFC, and i wonder if this exists with other clubs, that some of the fans will take every single opportunity going to "have a go" at the way its run regardless of how silly they make themselves look.
No you cannot just pick up the phone and buy a season ticket, that's the whole point, they aren't on sale!!! The Trust lady on here confirmed that the Trust had to pay stewards for the Charity Day I seriously think the club could do anything and some fans just smile and use a little more lube |

What difference does it make? If you have a ticket now what is gained? Nothing, it is just something to moan about. Expect moans about why the fixture list isn't out yet.

Mate, if stuff like this genuinely makes you this angry I really really feel sorry for you. |

Expecting a lot of advertising agencies, TV companies and publications to go out of business this Autumn. Companies will see how GTFC's clever non-marketing policy resulted in record 2017/8 season ticket sales and decide to stop advertising their Xmas goods in October and November as they realise the public know they can order their presents on the 20th Dec and still get them wrapped before Xmas Day.
