Quoted from moosey_club
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.





There's four season tickets in this house that wouldn't have been here had the previous regime stayed in power.

So what did Jason do or say to deserve a red cross?

Well said. Did the same last week. Very cathartic not knowing what people think about your posts.

100%, I would rather someone give me a piece of their mind (I've been an absolute male private the odd time over the 10+ years, I must admit) and give me a rant or positive praise. Try and encourage people to actually use the forums more, instead of hidden 'agree' or 'disagree', with ticks or crosses.

I didn't even know what cathartic means, learnt something new today after googling it.

It's the smoothing on the lines, not the data


No amount of ‘smoothing’ will make actual sales reduce. One week we’d sold 400 and a week later the total was down to 300. The points on the curve are the cumulative totals, not daily or weekly figures.


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.

Believe me. It's the smoothing of the curves, and not the data. There are very few data points in some years, which is what causes the odd curvature.

You are quite correct. What you're looking at there is the pre-season of 2011/12, and Town had just allowed fans' favourite Serge Makofo to go on trial at Lincoln to the anger and dismay of the Town faithful. The graph simply shows the refunds requested in protest at the decision, which eventually forced the club's hand in bringing "Power Serge", as he was known by his adoring fans on account of his lightning speed and electrifying skills, back to his spiritual home.

In time sadly a dream move to Farnborough Town was to prove too tempting for either club or player to turn down and he would go on to light up pitches across Europe including the likes of Gresley Rovers, Edinburgh City and Cypriot Third Division heavyweights PAEEK (pronounced as if you've just stood on a fúcking upturned plug in the dark in the middle of the night).

And if you need a reminder of just how good he was, here's 20 minutes of the great man warming up, sat in various dressing rooms, getting tackled and occasionally completing the odd five yard sideways pass. Enjoy...

Why would you need to smooth the curves? All you need is to plot sales. No jiggery-pokery or fancy footwork needed. Simple numbers plotted. The number goes up each week. Some weeks the curve flattens out, sometimes it steepens. It doesn’t go down unless a lot of people get refunds.

Because the lack of data points in some years make the lines quite jarring and difficult to read which detracts from the message of the graph, which is essentially about performance this year in comparison to others. With more data points it wouldn't be needed as the lines would be smoother anyway.
