3000 looking very likely, surely?

Fab run exeter, who spend most of their time hovering at the top end of league 2 have only sold just short of 1,700.. So for what we've been through we've sold a greatt amount..... So far.

Where’s the doubters? Is PP kicking about?

Now we all know 3000 is unlikely but after years of abject failure, zero ambition, zero ideas, zero investment and urine poor running of the club…and relegation, again, shifting this many is decent…

Still here, still waiting for these thousands of fans that were staying away because of Fenty to show themselves.

I don't understand why people keep trying to goad me when so far nothing has happened to make my statements incorrect. I guess you lot just miss me

But it has? After seeing us relegated from the league again, and the year the world has just had you’d imagine shifting 2000 would be seen as a big deal…you’d be deluded to think there would’ve been a queue of Fenty was still ruining our club…

The quote, from many, is that THOUSANDS of fans weren't attending solely because they didn't want to put money into Fenty's pockets. We've sold 2045 tickets according to the tweet above. What part of that suggests that people were only staying away because of Fenty? We had 3000+ the last 2 seasons before the covid mess, so not even close to that with more than half of the time gone. Yet we should be expecting huge increase if people were staying away from Fenty. There's been threads where everybody is posting claiming to know groups of people who don't go because of Fenty.

I've said all along that most people only care about what is happening on the pitch and not who is calling the shots in the background. Lots of the new stuff is nice and will have a short term effect on the gates, but I guarantee we won't be getting anywhere near 5000 through the gate if we're not very close to top after 10 games.

When I see average attendance significantly up on our last non league season, then I might start to believe that Fenty was the reason people stayed away.

Blooming heck, we’re in the conference, still trying to defeat a pandemic, would assume quite a few season tickets and day tickets will be staying away for them 2 reasons for a start.

Fenty was the worst owner this Club has ever had and nothing you or he says can deflect from that FACT. The football club I will wager will finish above 14th in League 2 more than once in the next 20 years the new board dont have a lot to beat looking at his record of success.

Re-posting from earlier in the thread

2018-19 - 3098
2017-18 - 2929
2016-17 - 2923
2015-16 - 2426
2014-15  - 2008

The 2014/15 is the best Fenty reference year for Conference Level - 2015/16 had the boost of the feelgood of Operation Promotion. So we are already ahead of the game for this level. I expect to be nearer to 2018/19 numbers than 2015/16 when the season starts.

3 of us will be renewing, but we are not in a desperate rush to part with our cash! I am sure there are a lot more like me and will renew/buy in the next couple of weeks.

I know this is about season tickets, but a lot of stay away fans are not going to jump straight in with a season ticket after all that has gone on, are they? They will probably go to individual matches to see if the new owners really are the real deal, and the product is worth shelling out their hard-earned cash on. If we start well, I would imagine the crowds will increase as the season goes on.

Whatever the final figure on season tickets they would have fallen through the floor under Fenty - my three for a start!
