What were they this time last year?
Renewed 2 of my 3.
Both mine done 👍
I've renewed.
Did mine straight away, regardless of results, performances, who the manager is/isn’t etc, I always will. I love the day out, obviously don’t always love the football or result, it’s a massive part of my social life. It’s not as if we’ve been an elite club throughout my supporting life. It makes the very occasional good display and magic moments all the more cherishable and not to be missed.
Done mine.
Have you thought about a weight loss program?Originally Posted by 19bluebirds27
How does this compare with same time last season?)
Not renewing my 5, until we have a clear plan, including who is manager, budget etc…
Already asked. No answer as yet. I reckon a few k more.
On June 5th/6th 2023, when Bulut was appointed Dalman told the media 11 - 12,000 had been sold at that time. He then predicted sales would rise to 18,000 saying
"I reckon we will sell 18,000 (season tickets). I have got a couple of other announcements to make," Dalman said. "Erol and I have got a few more announcements to make that I think will make the fans happy."
Me and two lads renewed
If you don’t renew, not sure how long you’ve had one and how much it’s become a habit, how will you spend match day. Will you be constantly checking the score? Or will you blank it altogether? Or, which could turn out to be more expensive in the long run, will you pick and choose games and pay on the day?
I’m interested because I’ve missed a few this season due to holidays and I’m glued to my phone following the game wherever me and the missus are.
That’s the problem, it’s more exciting on the phone
The Southampton game wasn’t, I would’ve swapped the beach for the last half hour but the Middlesbrough game the beach was much more preferableThat’s the problem, it’s more exciting on the phone
That's quite good for youThat’s the problem, it’s more exciting on the phone
When I stopped attending games in 2012 it was strange to begin with, but I found I was very quickly out of the habit. Within a few months it had reached the stage where I was often scarcely giving the games a second thought on match days and there were some midweeks when I didn’t even know games had taken place until after they had finished.
Very different circumstances of course, and it would have been different if I was missing the odd game here and there while knowing I’d be at the next one, but the rebrand taught me how easily and quickly you can find other things to do if you decide to stop going to games for any reason.
Considering supporting City had been such a huge part of my life for 38 years at that stage, it was quite a surprise.
I know where you’re coming from , I find it fairly boring at times but I go for reasons other than the actual game.
I tend to make a day of it , but it’s no different to years ago when many would have the intention of going to the games only to stay in the kings.
The season tickets are such good value that I usually miss the night games as my lad is too young for them and there is plenty of tv coverage sat in the warm at home.
The gate money is only about 20% of the club’s current income so the current figure is better than expected when you factor in the disruption to kick off times next season.
In my experience, I doubt too many people have factored in the kick off time disruption or extra TV games just yet. I’m not sure if many fans know the details (and that includes me).
I reckon that will have more of an effect next season, especially if 2024/25 proves to be another mid-table campaign or worse.
The new EFL tv deal has been published and I think there are significantly more live games Friday through to Monday and there is no more I- follow
Yeah, but our lot had a brief chat about it in the pub before the last home game and nobody seemed to know much about it, so I doubt it will have had any great effect on season ticket sales for 2024/25.
If it proves a pain in the arse, as it probably will, then I reckon it will be 2025/26 when it has a significant effect.
Sell another ~1000 in the next month and they’re selling at about the same pace as last season.
Sounds about right.
For most I know it’s a social thing, meeting up with people etc….like some have alluded too. Imagine how many we could sell if we actually had a decent team in a well run club? 35 years and waiting…..
Exactly this - my son particularly this season, as he has seen more than me, has been really down about the team and it's performance but when I asked him if he wanted to renew his response was an instant yes
Other people in my family who don't have the "habit" can't understand how we do it to ourselves every season but we do and there is obviously at the moment about 10k other liked minded people ( that's scary if you multiply that by every other club who have fans having the same conversation with the same mentality 😂😂)
Our club motto should be "why do we do it" 😂😂
