A bit of assumption on my part here. We had 22,500 STHs last season & sales are capped at 24,000 this season. I am assuming that we have 1500 new STHs hence the need for a waiting list which is currently at 900+ so if 22,000+ have been sold then so far around 2000 haven't renewed. It looks possible that we could have a STH from last season or someone on the waiting list not able to renew/buy if we sell 24,000.
It wouldn't surprise me if at least half of the 1500 new ones sold were people moving to new seats and then just not renewing their existing seats.

Just over 22k season tickets sold so far according to the article this morning.

Those on the waiting list now able to buy. There were what, 1.5k on the waiting list?

I expect we'll hit the 24k cap relatively soon!

27,600 average this season, 2k more STs, could we hit 30k do we think or would corporate/away/segregation stop that?

27,600 +2,000 = 29,600 even if they were all new so I'd say not ;)

In all seriousness, I'd guess most of those buying attended a number of games last season. Also some away fans on midweek or teams like Millwall/Hull etc rarely get close to selling out so that would be enough of a drop off to take it below. I'd think we could put another 1,000 on the average though to 28,600 which is decent. If we blend the extra between season tickets and matchday as being £20 a ticket plus F&B, then that 1,000 is worth over £0.5m.

I think we will be slightly up on average attendance but not up around 30k. You'd guess that the majority of people left wanting a season ticket will be on the waiting list. That was about 900 wasnt it? There's probably only a couple of hundred more out there on top of that. Let's say just over 23k after waiting list purchases.

We may not hit the cap, we may just get there if there is some panic towards the end or some major signings come in.

You've also got to factor in that a lot of the new ST holders will have formed part of the walk-up headcount last season. So it's likely that the whilst the ST numbers will be record high, the walk up may actually be lower.

Decent???
Wasn't that long ago a crowd of 15000 was deemed brilliant

Too much hubris about City's prospects, I really hope the bubble doesn't burst. We're no more than a mid table Championship club kicking above it's weight because it is currently well managed.

The work ethic Lampard has put in place must continue and the structural changes DK has put in place depend on continued excellence in recruitment choices.

Thus my fingers remain crossed and my expectations remain realistic until and unless results prove otherwise.

Happy days. Two more STs bought this morning by mates on the waiting list. They tell me seats were disappearing faster than they could select them
I noticed the 24,000 season cap was confirmed in the club's post about the start of the waiting list sale period.

Aye, there's always next year!

Yea, supposed to be only for people who paid the tenner. I was number 240 something on the waiting list but can't get on.
I got it straight away. Shouldn’t make any difference but try doing it through the link on the email we got yesterday, or just straight to the site… or try incognito.

Fair weather fans

Club has always had the potential to go big, but in all honesty not had owners in decades that have understood how to tap into it. Every club is seeing increases but ours is very rapid and big number
Its stunning figure and seeing Cov tops and with young kids in them is brilliant, good times we should all enjoy it and encourage more to join in.

Ah yes thank goodness Doug cracked the secret code of “be good on the pitch”.

Need to crack the corporate puzzle and balcony.

Usual corporate is fine- sold out every year and Legends and Club Coventry is essentially a closed shop. That Mahou lounge needs a rethink - £3,500 is taking you into proper VIP territory and a bit of tapas and a perch on the balcony don’t really seem that attractive. The balcony seats should be the cheapest hospitality option in my opinion.

Invest in potential of both players and coaches whose job is to develop a squad will produce consistent performances. This ultimately gets results which fans will follow and importantly back and even understand the project. The need to sell and rotate the squad for reinvestment for fans can be frustrating, i honestly think a very high majority of us see understand it and support it.

Doug definitely understands it and fair play to him is slowly getting it right. Kits, communication can be better but i dont want to hear him, i just want a progressive club that feels in safe hands. In my opinion we are getting that so far.

20 effing years of Your Grounds too Big For You now replaced by Where Were You When You Were Shit from the likes of bloody Watford and Swansea etc

I don't care what the away fans sing. Most of the time you can't hear them anyway. 😂

I’m sorry but we’re not kicking above our weight. We spent 34 year’s consecutively in the top flight. How many teams in the top two divisions can say that?

Don’t let a bad period (20 years) of mismanagement cloud your judgement. We are a much bigger club/fanbase than people give us credit for. We are very quickly recovering the lost generations but the potential has always been there.

You could say the same about most times out of the elite half dozen or so, there is no rightful place for a team
