We've sold more season tickets than there are seats at 7 of next season's opponents grounds
I think those who are planning on us taking big numbers around the league will be disappointed, there isn't the room!
Quicker to reach 10k sales this season than last season I believe
Really don't understand why we're so keen to reward Tan for his failure in running the club, but hey-ho.
You don't understand why Cardiff City fans are buying Cardiff City season tickets?Quote:

We haven't renewed ours yet, wanted to move seats and couldn't be bothered contacting the club so just waiting for them to come back onto sale.
I wonder how many more are likely to be sold. At this stage i'd imagine any competent manager might actually have a slight bump given it kind of feels like the club has forgotten atm.
I moved seats. Went to the ticket office today. Very helpful and easily moved seats.Quote:

Would not suprise me if first dibs goes to something like 10 aways last season and, depending when the fixture comes up, plus 3 aways this season. Stevenage....Wimbledon. What delights beckon?Quote:

Really impressive sales considering the state of the club.
Can you move seats online Mike?Quote:

It was tough work on the phone today! Not possible on line, only by phone. I tried 9 times before I got through and was waiting for about 45 minutes when I did. The hold music was tortuous!Quote:

What grounds are you thinking of with us tiny away ends?Quote:

Might be a struggle sometimes but I think requiring 10 aways is a bit of a stretch.
Probably start at 3/4 from last season IÂ’d say
Rounding them down to the nearest hundred to be on the safe side, these are the 11 grounds I've not been to:Quote:

Peterborough 1600
Stevenage 1300
Stockport 1300 (2100 if needed)
A decent allocation at:
Bradford 4500
Doncaster 3300
Numbers taken from each club's official website. Exeter, Wimbledon, Orient and Stevenage will sell out easily even if midweek. A starting point of 3 or 4 aways...I'd be happy with that but, I fear demand will exceed supply and some grounds may not get to a general away sale point IMHO.
The Long and Winding Road?Quote:

losing
But do you support 'the team' atmospehere is dreadful. most people just sit thier watching the football. just merley putting money into the club/tans hands. i've renewed, but I wish we could allmake a stance and not to send them a message!!Quote:

I completely get the calls for a season ticket boycott, but it would likely be a long old slog. It took Blackpool fans four years of boycotting home matches before they saw the back of the Oystons, and for all Tan's total ineptitude at running the club, we're nowhere near the level of dissatisfaction needed to commit to that. (At the moment anyway!)
Being brutally honest - I have renewed because being in my mid 60s I pay OAP rates, as do many who buy season tickets; it costs just £234 for 23 games - so £10 per game!!
Paying as a walk up would cost nearly twice that.
I do not buy a drink in the ground or a programme, so the club cannot be making much out of me or many others.
Our ST prices are unbelievable value but are they priced too cheap?
It think that it is pretty obvious why he is questioning the numbers.Quote:

They are where they need to be I think. Start charging more, particularly at the moment and you turn some people away.Quote:

That's more torturous than tortuous.Quote:
