Maybe 15k? Have you tried checking the seat map again
12k+ was announced 15 days ago. In those 15 days we’ve sold about 500 ish tickets. Give or take a bit.
If it was 13,999 I’d understand it if the club decided to tell a whopper and announced 14,000.
That’s the opposite of the ‘Only £1.99’ shopkeeper’s trick.
If it was 13,999 the club would have said "almost 14,000".
Currently at about 13,020
Dml is right about one thing though, I didn’t think we’d sell this many tickets before the end of June - in fact, I would have doubted that we’d have sold 13,000 come the closure of the transfer window.
How many potential City season ticket buyers actually wait to see who we sign before committing? It can’t be many in our current recruitment situation, certainly not in the thousands, be surprised if it’s in the high hundreds. Surely nigh on everyone who’s going to buy has bought
Give or take a few hundred thats going to be about it
About 1000 down on last season ?
Could be worse
It's not going to be many more and therein lies the rub
Great that the fans who are season ticket holders have shelled out so early to help the the club
But it's given us a false sense of our support
Agree with this. The club might get it to 14,000 give or take but the only way I see us eclipsing 15,000 is if they were to announce a big name signing, such as Ramsey.How many potential City season ticket buyers actually wait to see who we sign before committing?

Totally agree
Swansea have sold 11000
Proportionally that is better than ours in a few aspects. That being said they are nowhere near as much of a circus on or off the pitch as we are and 4 derby wins in a row keeps fans on side, easy to see why they sell relatively well.
How? It’s there or thereabouts the same as last season.
It’s higher than many people predicted and much higher than you predicted.
I predicted that if we were relegated we would see a huge drop in support
I am not changing my view
The much welcomed rush for season tickets has got people talking about what could happen if CCFC got its act together
That's a different discussion I think
The fact remains we have 1500 less season ticket holders than last season
Those that have helped the club after the crap of last year deserve a clap
The thing is if we are to compete at the top end of the championship we probably need 16 or 17 k
will we have 1500 less by the start of the season?
we've already got more than I thought we would. if we get a decent signing or two you never know
We’re just over 6 weeks away from the start of the season. We’ll continue to sell more in that time even if we don’t sign any players. If we do we’ll sell a bit more.
That 1500 extra from last season also includes half ST. We’ll shift a few of those as Christmas presents regardless of where we are in the league.
Luton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Burnley are all in the Premier League without having 16k or 17k ST holders. Under Warnock we got promoted with about 12k ST sold.
That is a good question.How many potential City season ticket buyers actually wait to see who we sign before committing?

Speaking for myself, I remember many, many years ago when we were in the dungeon, I made the absolute final decision that after years of failing, dire football, I was calling it a day. That was it, never to return.
Then, on the first day of the new season, Brian Clough was being interviewed on football focus, pitchside at the city ground. I saw that pristine grass and thought “eff that, I’m going down the City”.
My point being, that after so much recent rubbish people may be on the verge of giving up on it all, but something simple that sparks the imagination may be enough to convince people to give it another go.
I know it’s probably hard to comprehend but the club usually shift around 1,000 every season between now and the start and that’s when prices have gone back up.
On that basis alone I reckon we could get around 14/15,000 by the start of the season depending on who the BIG signing is.
Unless we get lucky we need to be getting decent crowds to pay the wages of players
Luton , Brentford etc going up is great but in general its the clubs who spend money either on wages or transfers that get promoted
Such a random heated debate based on nothing until the club confirm lol 12 pages lol
13,430 according to ***** Abraham Site
Makes around 22,000 available for sale.
