Are we sold out for Friday yet ?
62 left - in the whole stadium, Hartlepool have sold the full away allocation. A crucial game for them, but fair play it’s not exactly local is it. Mansfield have sold out the away end as well. If we were challenging strongly these would be potential 10k crowds |

It was partly tongue in cheek and partly a response to the endless times this subject has been brought up, especially by Mr Josse, who seems to be unremittingly negative in many posts, often highlighting perceived problems with the ground, the owners, the manager and the team.
These topics have been asked and answered at the fans forum and in other media. You may not like the answers they have given, but they have said more than once that a new ground is not on the horizon any time soon, and extra seating has been looked at, but deemed to not be a priority just yet, with them pointing out that with an average season crowd of around 6500, there isn't the need.
I have criticised the new owners in respect of not having a clearer and better scheme for the re-allocation of prime match day tickets from non attending season ticket holders, and I think this seriously needs looking at, and could go a long way to satisfying those who complain about a lack of capacity.
Would like a new ground? Yes I would, and I don't think there are many fans who would like to see JSF back at the helm.
I express my views which many but not all share .I don’t make personal comments about other posters. |

I will stick my neck out and give you my reasonably confident prediction of what will happen next season . We will sell 6000 plus season tickets driven in part by peoples fear of not being able to buy an acceptable seat or group of seats on a game by game basis. As a result we will have a high non attendance rate from season ticket holders of 10-15%. There will be even less opportunity for new supporters new families etc to come along on a game to game basis. In other words the current cycle will repeat . The one caveat would be a substantial price increase on season tickets would temper that and I wouldn’t rule that out.
Well...if we sell 6000+ then there will already be new supporters as we have only got 5400 now so new supporters will have already jumped on board. If the club do place a decent buy back scheme in place for STH's no shows, then there would be more of those available but they can't rely on people just being benevolent regards them. |

The key thing is the capacity has to be increased so we can take advantage of big crowds in big games and/or increased interest.
How the owners tackle the problem is up to them but I imagine they will go down the route of adding to Blundell Park. A new stadium seems too far too soon.

I believe there are currently around 5900 season tickets in issue including the half season tickets that went on sale around Christmas .( source Steve Wraith ) |

I’ve now got the pleasure of an MRI on Friday afternoon so one ticket now released in the upper if anyone wants one.

Yeah defo more than 5400, I have heard both 5700 and 5800 as figures for whole season tickets, so it's probably between those figures. |

Yeah this for - a meaningless game (for us obviously, not them) - against a non rival team - with us having just 4(?) home league wins all season - often playing quite poorly -with literally hundreds and hundreds of those sold being restricted or poor view does make you wonder what the demand would be like if we were a good side, winning at home and challenging for promotion/playoffs, and had a new corner section that could accommodate another 700-1000 people and offer a decent view. No doubt demand has been boosted by our cup run compared to what it would be otherwise but even so. |
