2023-2024 season ticket numbers

I can only imagine that the numbers will go down next season.  Last year we finished on a real high and people in general had more cash available.  This year has had its high points but hyper inflation and end of season mediocrity will surely impact?  I think we’ll be below 5k.  Below 4,000 would be a catastrophe.

I think it will still be quite high, I would say a lot of people didn't bother buying a season ticket due to John Fenty owning the club. A lot of people work outside Grimsby, and/or live outside Grimsby so have a decent income, I think this comes partly into the reasons we have an above average away following compared to other clubs.

A lot of people who live in Grimsby also have a decent income of course, and certainly decent enough to afford a season ticket.

The question is more whether they will willingly part with their money. A lot will depend on ambition with signing players.

It was a good sign that Hurst said today the clubs hierarchy recognise they will have to pay the modern day rate for the better players. Interestingly he also said he thought a lot of players were paid too much but even he, albeit grudgingly had accepted the need to pay the going rate for wages if we are to get a hearing.

I suppose that confirmed what a lot of us suspected- we miss out on a lot of players  even considering us because of the hitherto refusal to pay the going rate.

I was always a bit unsure of hurst I could never figure out if I liked him or not …. Move forward to second time around i fooking love him he fooking gets this club and being from a similar downtrodden place rovrum I’m convinced he’s almost a fellow cod head …
Sorry I replied to the wrong post I’m 5 double vodkas in 🤣

Burnley population around 73,000 yet around 10,000 minimum League 2 and around 20,000 in Premiership and 13 to 20,000 when doing well in the Championship.  North East Lincolnshire population has shrunk to around 157,000 so maybe a few thousand of uptapped potential fan base?

Might not reach the highs of this season but still think it will be decent.

Well thank you to those that took the time to offer their thoughts rather than just red cross through lack of basic human communication skills.  The respondents have given me multiple perspectives that I hadn’t considered, every days a learning day.  Oddly enough the majority have voted where my vote went.

Interesting that Lincoln have an early bird offer and to date have sold 4500 season tickets for next season and you do wonder given the continued high(ish) crowds at BP, despite the poor home form, and feel good factor if we shouldn’t have already had ours on sale.

Think early summer recruitment and signs we are buying to compete next season will dictate numbers .Obviously cost and how much prices go up .Think we also have to factor how depressing watching town at home has been this season .  Think the majority in the poll will be there or thereabouts but nowhere near this year's 5800

Haven’t they done this previously too?  A further discount for early takers must have a cashflow benefit, seems like a logical progression to me.
