Quoted from pen penfras


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.



Is that a ‘many’ similar to a Fenty ‘few’?

Is that more or less than the Fishy Six?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
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!


Exactly my point though, isn't it? Fans will come based on what we do on the pitch, not based on who is running the club, or some nice rhetoric in the media.

I guess you enjoyed the narcissistic ramblings of an incompetent fool then?

I think this thread can best be summed up in that there will be more season tickets/people attending games now than there would be if the old regime were still here.

The end.

I blame Simon Jordan for all these buzz words like Rhetoric .

Waiting for my pack to arrive, if anyone has theirs yet .....does it include any info  in the event of covid interrupting the season?
Also, have not seen it clarified anywhere but do we know if we are even going to be allowed to "fill the ground " or are we still going to be on social distance and bubble arrangements ?


If there ends up being another ban on fans attending in the next few weeks than the National League won't start.

As someone who, last April , predicted there would be no fans at BP till Sept 2021 (I was 2months out)  i can see reduced capacity come into the National League .
