the annual season ticket sales thread

Truth is......as we are not comparing eggs with eggs then we wont ever know, the gut feeling is that if JF had have stayed on we wouldnt be near the figure we are at now, how much lower ?? Pure speculation, how much higher is it now he has gone ...again purely speculation.

I know my own two household  S.T's for this season are the first in a number of years and that is purely down to JF going.

The newly announced 500 total of "new purchasers" could be argued are a result to the JF factor, but what we dont know is how many of the other 2000 renewals would have passed up renewing if JF had have still been here.

We are now at a figure that I would have expected with everything still ongoing currently   so anymore from now on for me would be gravy.

Did I say that? Because I said thousands and we're still nowhere near that being the case. There were at least 10 people on here claiming that everybody knows groups of people that won't turn up until Fenty is gone and some were saying 5k season tickets were realistic. So we're still absolutely nowhere near a significant difference yet.

It is however a fantastic turnout and looks like it will be better than I expected. But that's because of the current optimism, not Fenty going, although I realise that the two are very much entwined in this case.

I wouldn't put it that way myself, it's more like at opposite ends with total opposing views on how to run a club.

See where you're coming from but it's not a fair test after we were relegated and with Covid. All conjecture but were we still in League 2 and without Covid, that figure would be over 3000 already I suspect.

1)without being anal and going through your posting history i get the feeling there's a bit of repostioning and rewriting history going on here
2) don't remember anyone saying we'd get 5000 season tickets on the back of Fenty going
3) you still haven't told us why the new owners aren't quite what they seem to be , and what the negative rumours about them are
4) PH seems quite happy, and i'm struggling to remember us going away to comparative facilities under Fenty

I'd be interested in the ST sales from '90 onwards. I imagine there aren't many years over 4k?

I’d bet no one on here has said we’d sell 5000 STs. Looks like PP has added 2k to the optimistic forecasts of people like me, because 3k isn’t that far off now.

It really isn't. By my maths, we're currently tracking to hit 3,000 on 7th August - a week on Saturday. Given it's payday on Friday, that may well come a couple of days earlier.

Honestly, I've gone from thinking that 3,000 was unrealistic, to thinking we'll get close but not quite hit it, to thinking that we're absolutely nailed on to do it. I'd actually be shocked now if we don't break that figure, and in fact I'd go so far as to say that I think we'll surpass the figure of circa 3,100 sold on the back of Operation Promotion in 2015.

We're tracking very closely to our 2015 sales, yet we're a further two weeks out from the start of the season than we were then:

I'm sure that the 3100(?) from a couple of years ago was the highest ever total

I think there might have been more in 98/99.
