Got my tickets online yesterday, but a couple of pals just went down to the Butts ticket office. Woman said we've sold nearly 1000 STs and they're expecting a big pay day surge.
She also said that the St.Andrews announcement was only made to keep the EFL happy whilst Ricoh talks are still on going and implied that "we'll be back at the Ricoh by Xmas"!

Although I find the latter hard to believe, especially after Robins choice words for w**ps, the fact that were already at 1k tickets is very positive. Let it continue. #PUSB

Should have asked her what were sold at Sixfields, I'd guess 1000 max.

Very sad.

Fine if you don't want to go, or cannot go, but why are fans wanting to go and watch their team play, mugs?

This is NOT like Northampton. Not the same.

Sisu may have sewn the seeds of all this many years ago, but right now the club's hands are tied.

Seemingly it was this or no EFL club.

500 is still more than I expected.

I will be surprised if we get anywhere approaching 2,000.

“Last year, it took us a week to reach even 118 Season Tickets sold, so the support is very humbling. While we would not expect us to reach the numbers we did last year, it would be great to see as many fans as possible there.

“As we said, we fully understand and respect the difficult choice our fans face, and we know that those who may choose not to attend, do so with a heavy heart but still in full support of their team.

“We know that fans who do attend, and do buy Season Tickets, may not endorse the groundshare situation, but are there to support their team and we are really grateful.”

“We are still working on travel and car parking arrangements for next season, and as soon as these are finalised we will communicate them to supporters.

“There have been many other questions from fans generally, whether it is about PSL holders or the Wall of Fame and Garden of Remembrance at the Ricoh Arena, and we again will look to let fans know details regarding these important and sensitive aspects of the situation we find ourselves in as soon as we are able to do so.”

“We thank everyone for their support and for their patience at this time.”

Did he mean in the same week last year, when ST’s had already been on sale for a while?

Edit: on second thought, he probably just picked out the quietest week.

Would be strange for him to comment on that you would have thought.

If that is true, I take it all back and predict attendances around the 22,000-25,000 mark.

I think they’ve taken last years lowest week of sales and compared it to this to try and make the groundshare look a bit successful.

He clearly meant the first week - why you want to pour scorn of everything is curious

We probably sold so few at the start last year as they went on sale in March so people had plenty of time to buy them and had no idea what league we were in. I also seem to remember it taking a while to sort the finance option out.

People are definitely coming round to the fact our axe to grind should be with the council and not CCFC.

Hope so.

At the end of the day, we are the club.

I know of 3 or 4 people getting season tickets who haven't previously.

I'm not saying we will be selling loads, but there seems to be in some areas a real desire to keep the momentum of the last 2 seasons going and, more importantly, to keep the club alive.

The twitter comments are just sad. If you don't want to go... fair enough. If you do want to go... fair enough. No one is superior, so keep your thoughts to yourself. Like I say about twitter... If you wouldn't say it in a pub to a person's face, don't post it.

Nice to hear.

I was only expecting about 150 or so on the first week.

Fair play to the people that have purchased but of course the pr from the club will be “how well the tickets are selling” to soften the ground share fiasco.
If 2000 buy a season ticket I think that will be a good number-but will there be a similar number who buy tickets/walk up on the day? I can’t see it meaning on average there will be less than 4000 “home” fans.

Agreed can’t see it passing 2k

Well timed public statements will have helped & talks of a better squad than last year etc weather or not that happens I’m not so sure tbh Sisu probably trying to fire up as many fans as possible I don’t believe anything them wankers say

I agree. But surely they have a duty to try and maximise ST sales using PR, marketing and whatever means they have at their disposal.
