Quoted from HertsGTFC


If I was asked to move I’d consider it, if I was told to move I’d consider not buying a season ticket.

I just wonder how many people who are going on about empty seats haven’t personally been able to buy tickets for a home game on a regular basis.


I'm coming from the position of someone who can't get to many games, and the weekend games I can get to, I like to take my youngest. For one game earlier this season I purchased the last 2 seats next to one another in the Upper and there was nobody sat on the entire row in front of me, plus loads of empty seats around me.

Lots of ticketing systems prevent single seats being left and moving someone up an extra seat or two to enable more paired seats seems to make sense, and some people not wanting to do that does seem a bit selfish.

If the next seat along is a restricted view then that is different but, in most cases, moving along one or two seats doesn't materially change your view.

Give STHS £5 credit for giving seats up that lasts for a short time e.g. a month or three months for the club shop, home tickets, hospitality etc OR get an temporary stand in one or more of the corners and have them purely for one off purchases. No 1878, no loyalty points etc. It really isn’t difficult and it’s daft that we’re still having these discussions.

You would have thought that Jason would have a decent internet connection but oh well.

I thought it was excellent to be honest and was pleased to see the passionate rant about certain sections of social media.

It was interesting how Andrew answered the questions about capacity/season ticket no shows only for Jason to almost step back from some of it. Definitely good to hear that they at least realise that there is a problem and are looking at options.

We either have 2 massive supporters who want the best for the club or 2 of the greatest actors I have ever seen in charge now.

The future looks very positive to me, even talk of winning the champions league lol.

They are on a different planet to not just our former primary funder but most football custodians  in terms of modern day business management.

I can see them taking us further than many probably expect it's just going to take time and patience .

It's great to have 2 proper fans who get it .
They are no mugs and  I would love to know what their final goal and exit strategy is for their tenure  .

I don't get the beef with the odd social media bod , it's a tiny minority probably a good % less than some (most) clubs and some of them are just clickbaiting . In truth i thought it was /is just Wacca ,his small crew and some ex employees or family members that want Jason to 'take some ' because they want retribution or whatever .

As a season ticket holder for years, I’ve had quite enough stick and am happy for the carrot season to continue.

The season ticket thing is weird to me - I don't get why only 100 out of 1000 are releasing their seats when they can't go (Andrews words ) maybe it's the less digitally able or something .

I just buy one knowing I will only make half the games , no disrespect but i don't want small change from the club if I cant go I knew what I was buying when I bought it ; I can't understand why others don't feel the same really .

Delighted to hear Andrew take the lead on the capacity issue.

One thing that stood out to me in Jason's rant about staff speculation was that he said people have left for a variety of reasons such as criminal reasons. There was a tweet of his the other week that alluded to people leaving organisations for various reasons and he said "illegal activity" in that too.

Here I am speculating about staff which he has just ranted about, but that criminal comment stood out like a sore thumb in his rant about that.

Good interview overall, it is never easy to ask everything in the limited time they have. They do seem to have a knack of arranging these interviews and scheduling a major announcement of some sort for them.

So did I hear that right? A prem club has asked us what positions we’re looking to fill next season?

I know Chelsea need to off load a good few but we don’t want them, do we?
