Said it before, chance that players who have got themselves organised for a corner can switch off.

Is there any reason that the lineo's can't work the other half so the one nearest singers corner is able to see if the ball legally over the quadrant.
Not sure that's quite right. Pompy brought nearly 3K on a Wednesday night last season. QPR will bring a decent following if not sell-out being a Saturday and at the start of the season. Even Watford brought 2.5K last season.
Agree with Blackburn & Preston, Swansea might bring a few more than normal being on Boxing Day. Even Hull is not usually great but being the first game will see more visit. I reckon the away average will be higher than last season.

I thought the same regarding Pompey, always had a good away support.

It has been mentioned. Several times by several people in this thread!!
That’s why they’ve stopped selling in the south stand to limit the number of moves and not released the majority of the remaining seats for general sale as they’re needed to guarantee those ST holders a place.

Yes. Confirmed that it has been mentioned several times, by myself, by scrolling up.

4 of our last 5 home games sold out. I do agree with your point though, way too early for that talk, but we have a decent season and they'll be fairly regular I think.

Can somebody tell me why we put such a low cap on season tickets?
If the demand is there for say 27,500 why don’t we allow it and then leave a smaller amount for general public sale so we are more guaranteeing and securing bums on seats.
I swear I read somewhere on here they cap it at like 24k

we have to allow for cup games, where we have to give a fixed % to away fans. this already means ST holders in the south stand have to move for those games, so we also have to allow for them to move somewhere.
6/8 of the capacity of the stadium seems reasonable for a ST cap.

You cannot have a closed shop.
The rules say that a certain amount of tickets must be available per game for general sale
Otherwise, the ’occasional’ supporter would never get the chance to go.

Also walk-ups pay considerably more per game. Extra revenue for the club.

Season tickets are crucial for cash flow after the summer when there has been no income.

The 23k ish season tickets will have covered that gap!! Also the fact that we put them on sale later than a lot of other clubs shows a reasonably good cash flow position.

That is a very good point that I hadn’t thought of.
I suppose the same can be said about us in recent years never being in a hurry to get the new kit on sale

I think 24,000 is the realistic maximum number of season ticket sales possible. At least in terms of big round numbers.
It’s been pointed out above that South Stand season ticket holders have to be accommodated in the main East/North/West bowl for FA Cup games which limits the total number of General Admission season tickets to the total available in that area.
There’s about 23,200 General Admission seats (including family and premium zones but excluding hospitality) in the East/North/West stand bowl and at least 200 of those can’t be sold because they aren’t available for live TV feature games. The club also choose not to make Block 5 available for season tickets, presumably to give options for segregation, which is about another 200 seats.
Hence to sell 24,000 season tickets requires about 1,000 to 1,200 hospitality seats to be sold as season tickets which is pushing the limits of what’s likely. Club Coventry, Legends Lounge and The Mill is about 1,000 seats combined.

Just remembered I was able to sit in my seat in the South Stand last season when we played Spurs
Obviously a club that size would have taken and easily sold the extra tickets so does the increased allocation not count in the League Cup?

Spurs were allocated 3,142 tickets for last season’s League Cup game. The rules require 10% of available tickets to be made available to the away team.
It’s just about achievable in the current away end set up at a push.
