I’ve released my ST on 6 occasions this season due to work and other commitments. I release it a week in advance, it’s next to a non ST seat so an opportunity to have 2 next to each other, and of those 6 times it’s sold just once.


Sorry but if you’re releasing your seat for 1 in 3 home games you probably shouldn’t be buying a season ticket as you are directly contributing to the scarcity of seats.

Are you for real? Supporters like this are what make our Club they cough up to give the Club a decent war chest despite it not really benefitting themselves.Time and again our fanbase have dug deep despite knowing in reality its pretty much a money down the drain exercise. We deserve to see better on the Blundell Park pitch.

I don't think Stockwood and Pettit need any more reminding of how bad the product is. I suspect the loss in the next set of accounts will be sufficient evidence.

When ST's get released, they are usually single seats scattered around the ground. When casual fans want to attend a match they often want to be in groups so they can sit together. This can be hard to accommodate so a lot of these seats don't sell. The club really can't do anymore to address this.

Politely, you have no insight into my personal life whatsoever, and neither should you. There have been times when I’ve been unable to attend for reasons I would never have imagined when I bought the ticket. I’ve been a season ticket holder and regular away attender for over 30 years. It’s my right to purchase my season ticket, and even if I have to release my seat to the same extent next season, then so be it.

I’d be surprised if we sell as many season tickets next season so there will probably be more match day tickets available.

It’s only if we have a good run and are in the promotion hunt that capacity might become an issue. It would be a good problem to have.

Well I'm 99% not renewing due to the kick off times being tampered with but I'm loathe to lose my seat it's a quandary but probably right to chance pay on the day.
