I’m a bit surprised that STs got next season haven’t gone on sale yet. It has always struck me as daft that the club never tried to sell tickets for the following season when fans are still coming to games. The majority of professional clubs up and down the country seem to be already selling STs for next season. It was one of the things I expected to change with the new owners.

Anyone aware when they are going on sale and why they aren’t already available?

I guess the argument is that we don't know what league we will be playing in. I know costs will be increasing for the club but I'm not sure the fan base will tolerate a price hike either without an advance opportunity to beat the price increase.

The accounting year ends this month so perhaps the club want that income to fall into the next accounting year?

If they had been on sale for a few weeks I'm sure there would have been loads purchased after the Stockport game.

I swear some people just look for different ways to have a moan. Does it really matter when they go on sale? I haven’t seen any evidence to show that earlier they’re on sale, the greater the numbers that buy them. If people want a season ticket, they’ll buy a season ticket. For example, do you think that Scunny having their season tickets on sale now will make a blind bit of difference to take-up?

I think having season tickets on sale now would have a positive impact on sales. The ticket initiatives are getting new fans into the ground. Those people/families and current casual fans are more likely to buy now while they are attending matches than in a month when the season is a distant memory.

Wrexham put there’s for sale in February. Notts County have been on sale since April.

We wouldn’t put the next home game on sale a few days after the previous home match was played so why do we do that with STs?

Always thought, that when we are in this position (play off’s/promotion chase) offer ST’s at a fixed price, no matter what league we are in the following season

Wrexham can't be sure what division they'll be in next season, but they've already sold over 5000 ST's for next season!

I'm in the camp that they should be on sale. I don't think a price hike would go down well at all when you consider the furore we had over the badge earlier this season.
