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:
Wimbledon 1400
Exeter 1300
Orient 1200
Lincoln 1900
Mansfield 1500
Northampton 1400
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.

Which is my point. We’re not rewarding Tan by renewing, as the money won’t be going anywhere near his pocket. It won’t even cover the squad’s wages for the season, let alone every other cost associated with owning a football club.

He loves wasting cash on us it seems, most of it needlessly, he doesn’t seem to learn so just let him carry on until he either gets lucky with another manager or sells us on….:thumbup:

It’s like a flashback to the late 80’s/90’s……Orient away 1988, now that was a day n half

Maybe people are actually looking forward to us playing some decent football and actually winning more games than loosing ? Also refreshing going to some different and new grounds .

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!!

The fact that football supporters will keep on forking out good money to support their club is what sets football aside from other businesses. No other businesses could deliver shite to their paying customers year in year out and have them coming back for more.

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.

No.

Other clubs should be looking to match our prices, not us to theirs

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

At present we have plenty of spare capacity which helps us offer tickets cheaper. If we were getting close to capacity then it would make sense that the club should charge more.

100% this.

Worth bearing in mind that our prices would still make us almost certainly the most expensive third tier team in the world outside of the other clubs in League One.

Plymouth was a 1300 allocation or so last season and 4 away games to guarantee a ticket. This was late Feb, so I can't see it's going to be much more than that.

Wasn’t it a 12.30pm KO though, possibly live on Sky ?

Yeah but doesn't the minimum crtieria (in this case 4 games), usually relate to the amount of tickets we had to guarantee those a ticket if they wanted it? So if there were 1300 tickets, there wouldn't have been more than 1300 who had done 4 games.

I think it eventually dropped to a lower requirement because of the uptake on tickets was slower, for the reasons you mentioned.

I reckon there’s enough tickets there. Our away following ain’t that great - don’t see why it’s going to explode this season as we trek to Lincoln

Just goes to show how irrelevant it is to the Emporer, he could probably charge more but doesn’t…..he’s so minted

It was a 12.30pm kick off. Sky red button maybe. I was in Belfast at a pub. They did their best to get the match up on the tv but couldn't find it. Very much a Rangers not Celtic pub. Good Times.

New grounds, for many, will add to numbers interested in going. That said, if it's a Tuesday night fixture in January....

I don't think that's it.
our catchment area covers some pretty poor areas and yet there is relatively high competition for people's dollar, with rugby, cricket, ice Hockey, etc and everything else Cardiff has to offer.

Or, put it another way, you would have to been born in the 70s to remember it! I wonder how many of our fans were born this century rather than the Dark Ages....homework by candlelight.
