The club website says over 4k season tickets have been sold. That seems lower than usual to me. Am I wrong?
If it is lower, then is it due to the increase in price (especially u12s)?
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?
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.
