THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Yeah, it’s a fair bit lower, but I’ve always heard that a significant number come in just before the first game and still pay in readies at the desk.

I’m sure the price increases have had some effect, but I don’t think we’re too far off where we usually are two weeks before the first game of the season. It’s hovered around 5,000 for the last few years now, and bumped up a little with half ST’s in January. The discussion is really whether we should have gained new ST holders off the back of last season, not merely maintained numbers?

My plastic has just arrived in the post, looks smart this year

One thing I forgot to mention about the digital tickets is that it depends on what phone you have too. My uncle comes every now and again and always buys a digital ticket when he does. And every single time he’s had to get a steward to help him in at gate 5 because the scanners won’t fit his phone in.

Give me a card every day over that

That doesn't sound right, particularly as I didn't have a single digital ticket not scan last season which had the correct barcode.
Any idea what the code to be scanned looked like?
There were two for one off tickets. Most had a traditional QR type that didn't work so that could be the problem rather than not being able to scan it because there's plenty of room for any size of phone on all the scanners.
I'd he does the same for next season let me know as I'd be interested to see what happens.

We will be lower because of the lack of free U12 season tickets (or a £1 or whatever they were) there were a number of fans (maybe grandparents/aunts/uncles etc) who got these on spec for when kids visited which will be replaced by occasional ticket sales as req'd.
