We appear to have found thousands of brand new season ticket holders to replace those who said they wouldn't renew.
They're not lying are they? They get battered for never giving figures out, when they do folk say they're lying...
Didn't mean to imply they were lying but given the finances of many people I find it surprising that around 15% of ST sales would be at the full price when a cheaper price has been available for weeks and there's also a finance option.
I guess some people will find it difficult to get the money together before the deadline, particularly if they're buying more than one season ticket. I only buy my own, but even then, I start putting money aside from about the middle of December onwards to pay for it. Some probably aren't in as fortunate a position as I am. Given the current climate, I don't think there will be as many as 15% more buying a season ticket now the deadline has passed.
Don’t forget tho this time last season Duff didn’t leave us till mid-end of June. So yeah early bird figures are consistent - but be interesting to see what the overall difference is at the start of the season.
Without casting aspersions, I wonder if the Rapid Telecoms initiative to provide tickets to kids are included in this year’s early bird numbers. As I recall the scheme didn’t start until later last year.
2yr contract so may well do. I dont know how they were distributed. 110 tickets. To Adults and Children. Nice gesture. Was around end of June last year.
