We would have more ST holders if like Bradford our owners had the insight and charged £199. Saying that I can't see crowds rise much unless come the end of February we are pushing top 6 and looking at getting play off spot nailed on and then people might start turning up in the hope of another Wembley trip
If we had dropped ST prices at start we would have sold at a guess 2000 more then we did making our gates higher all season. I for one would have got 1 instead of a match package.

Perfectly fine if you can go every game but it makes it very dear for shift workers who can't make mid week games and now Friday night games due to wasps making us change days. The budget would have been fine with the extra tickets sold I know quiet a few people who never got season tickets due to the price. The club only need to get people going regularly to get that passion back and they will be hooked again. 1 season is all it would take to get quiet a few back as they have got the feeling of I will go when I want now after all these years away.

It all depends how sustainable it is. I too want him to have a budget, but I do love it when the ground is much fuller.We’d all love cheaper season tickets but if it meant less money for Robins then I’d pay what I do now thanks.
We did that a few years ago and it didn't get us any more sales. I think the rebate might have been the next season but it was still offered.It all depends how sustainable it is. I too want him to have a budget, but I do love it when the ground is much fuller.
I realise it's chicken and egg and I'm not certain I trust our owners to be honest, but I'd love it on a rebate scheme where those of us all sign up as we do anyhow and then we get discounted back if so many more sign to a point that it hits eg £199 if we get to 15k season tickets but stages in between from 8k upwards (bearing in mind this season we have approx. 6,500-7,000
I can't attend nearly every game because of the distance but a season ticket is still by far the cheapest way of doing it and takes away the hassle of sorting tickets.Perfectly fine if you can go every game but it makes it very dear for shift workers who can't make mid week games and now Friday night games due to wasps making us change days.

Even then it's just a DD coming out on payday that I don't really notice and means I get first allocation on away/cup tickets so I never miss out on games I want to go to. You don't have to shell out £300 in one go.Yeah, you can probably miss 3 or 4 and still pay less.
Don't do that! It's about 10% premium for paying dd. Get an interest free credit card and pay it off over the season then scrap it and get a new one for the next year.Even then it's just a DD coming out on payday that I don't really notice and means I get first allocation on away/cup tickets so I never miss out on games I want to go to.

Not a bad shout, I'll be doing that next season. Cheers!Don't do that! It's about 10% premium for paying dd. Get an interest free credit card and pay it off over the season then scrap it and get a new one for the next year.

Well at the same point last season the average home crowd was closer to 7500….seems to be roughly where we are with home supporters just now. That on the back of a good run in a position where most of us didn't quite expect us to be right now I suspect.
Yes we've got terrible owners. Yes, there are those who won't ever go again until SISU are gone.
My question is do most people think this number is about right or is it disappointing ?
Personally I expected a few more. We're nowhere near Portsmouth or Bradford but is 12,000 really out of reach ?
Yeah think it's about £30 quid on top, much less hassle than applying for credit cards and stuff though!
I wouldn't argue against that, but always hope as one of the bigger clubs in this league we should be pushing higher, but understand that's unrealistic at the moment. What I do find quite strange, say (big IF) we get promoted and we have 15-16,000 next season, do those extra fans just not have any idea what happened in the past seven or so seasons? Obviously some will be fans who go as and when they can or less frequently and are willing to make the commitment to a season ticket when playing in the Championship, but there must be some who are of the mindset 'I'm not going while they play in League 1/2', do they then just pick it back up with a crop of players they know nothing about? It's one of those things I just can't really get my head around.I think anything over 10k in this league is pretty good for this league
You could argue that from this season to last, but other factors will be bigger away followings, more corporates, more neutral or casual fans and others who are coming back but have been disillusioned and still have a passing if less frequent interest. Beyond all of that, it's results on the pitch that always have the biggest bearing on attendances.I wouldn't argue against that, but always hope as one of the bigger clubs in this league we should be pushing higher, but understand that's unrealistic at the moment.

So working on your "guess" of 2000 more.If we had dropped ST prices at start we would have sold at a guess 2000 more then we did making our gates higher all season. I for one would have got 1 instead of a match package.

It takes 2 minutes online to get a 0% credit card

We've sold around 6000 STs at £300 a piece making that £1.8m.
Drop the price to £200 and sell an extra (your guess) 2000 and that only makes £1.6m. So we've sold more STs and made less money???!!! Where's the sense in that?
