Just been and bought a season ticket after making my mind up and there are queues outside for people buying tickets for tuesday. Its a great sign but lets hope we dont do our usual and get a decent crowd after a good run and then dont perform

Sorry for spelling but im sure you get the idea.
Shows the potential of our fan base though when you give the city a little success

I think people realize sisu arent going anywhere fast and with them team preforming might aswell go watch and support them, if we win tomorrow night it only attract more people back to games in future.

Really encouraging. Every time I went into Gallagher there was no one in there and went in against Wigan opening day and rammed queue with everyone buying a shirt. Must be making so much more revenue. Was so encouraging.

Don't they just sit in the aardvark all watching soccer Saturday either side of the PL games whilst Hugo from Dorset wears his retro 80's Liverpool shirt?

It's all down to the entertainment value. If the football is entertaining I'll head up to a few games. If it's like it's been for the last couple of years I won't.

Do students go though? Often thought the club should give 250 tickets out to each of Cov & Warwick uni for the first 3/4 games of the season after term starts put a few coaches on get them up and there try and get them hooked, might not come back but they might spend £40 on a shirt as a momento etc.

Calm down Rich - you need to self-moderate, I can almost sense you about to explode with all the recent excitement the team is generating!

Worried about tomorrows game. My heart says we will smash Crewe because we have shown in the first 2 to be a really good team full of confidence. Usual City though will do that to us and then lose a winnable game at home 0-1. Really hope this is another voodoo that TM overcomes...(by the way, not being negative to be negative, just hoping we do the business again)

Sorry to be slightly negative, but the reason for it being rammed, it is only the size of a double garage.... Also they can only sell tickets from one of the computer screen's, hence the queue. Away tickets being sold at Lockhurst Lane, what's all that about??

I never knew that. Personally I would always buy online as I hate queues and it seems silly. A lot more Cov merchandise though being sold that must be true and the location actually gets passing traffic. It is only a very small shop but all we need at the moment in league one where money is tight.

Sorry, I'll admit it's nice to have a team to support instead of 11 blokes to shout "you're shite" at.

It depends where you want to sit Nick , the amount of people that just sat anywhere against Wigan then had to move when season ticket holders showed up was quite amusing

Surely you sit in the space you get assigned when they hand you the ticket when you give them the cash? That's how it is usually isn't it?

The away tickets thing is because they get sent to us pre printed and the clubs offices are at Lockhurst Lane so they all get dealt with from there. Similarly the reason only one of the tills at the shop can do tickets is that the shop itself isn't run by the club so their till won't be connected to our system.

Surprised so many people bother queuing when you can just buy them online.

I went in around half 1 and there was around 20 people in front of me in the queue. When I left there was another 20+ in the queue

I guess it's more convenient now too. If people are in doing a bit of shopping and the club is on a decent run then you're more likely to get casuals popping in for tickets.

Hopefully with the ticket system upgrade there will be a cinema style machine like a cashpoint. Stick it on the outside wall so people can get their tickets 24/7

Pick tickets, enter details, insert card and pin, tickets print out job done!
