We have sold 6,400 so far which is more than 40% up on this time last season. We are well on course to break our record number set in 2008/2009 as you would expect.

Nipped down the Pirelli stadium yesterday to get my season ticket, 323 notes and I gather we are on course for record sales. Mind you that will be small fry compared to most in this league ! Think we will be hoping for average attendances to be around 4 to 4,500 thousand to put things into perspective.

Ours are £345 (£360 for Lorne Street) this season.

Think we've probably sold about 5 so far, 1 of which being my old man. I'll be joining him when I can be arsed get up to the ticket office.

Wish we'd have kept up with the offers of a few years back, that was about the only decent thing V2001 did in the latter years.

Hopefully I can actually keep my ST for the length of the season this year - I've lost the last two I've had :(

The number of times I'd wished I'd lost mine over the last twelve months isn't easily countable....

20% of our current ST total (6,000) are newercomers.

Could well be averaging 16,000+ next season.

What won't?

There isn't any realistic chance we will only sell 4000 season tickets, that would be notably down on last season. Remember (and I'm sure you do) we went the whole of last summer barely selling a single ST - we had none of that (blind) pre-season optimism that usually builds as the season approaches. When we returned to the Ricoh, the season had started, and despite a flurry of sales, for many it was too late (myself included), and the prices were not exactly attractive as the early bird period had long gone.

Put it this way, the last full season at the Ricoh there 10 of us that went regularly and 8 had STs. Last season none of us had one, and by the end I was attending the odd game on my own. This time 7 of us of getting one at the end of this month. Not particularly scientific, but anecdotally you get the sense sales will be up on last season by some distance. Anything less than 6500 and I'll be very surprised.

Yes but everyone wont renew will they

Why won't they? 90% of our crowds over the last 8 years have been made up of ST holders.

The potential is there to surpass 15,000 ST's.

You believe we will sell 6500 season tickets!? There were occasions last season where our attendances were that low. Price makes very little difference, we had tickets at £10 for our last home game and we couldn't mange 14,000.

Don't get me wrong, the Mowbray factor will push a few to grab a season ticket, but not many. I do however believe that if we are in the top 6 by Christmas we could see significantly bigger crowds.

You say price makes very little difference then give an example of how a price offer doubled our gate.

Even if we sell 6500 season tickets it will still be one of the lowest amounts in living memory. Our crowds last season were the lowest in half a century - artificially low owing to the lack of ST holders - and they have well and truly bottomed out (at this level). Yes I believe we will sell 6500 season tickets. I would put money on it. The thing that bothers me is that it should be more. 4000? Not in a million years.

It doubled when it should have trebled.

We only just survived last season, so why would we suddenly get 6500 season ticket holders.
Coventry telegraph poll also showed that 45% won't renew.

Pretty bizarre comment. Highest placed finish in about 10 years, increased budget, good core of players.

Maybe a few won't renew but the vast majority will, as they did the last 5 years.

Considering some of the crap served up in L2 over 6 years, the crowds generally maintained themselves and the fact that prices have gone down £50, I'd be very surprised if more than a handful failed to renew.

Dion'sHead thinks we're going to sell 6000.:ffs:
Therefore DionsHead is Steve Waggott?

Chief executive Steve Waggott has set a target of 6,000 season tickets and believes they have 'every chance' of meeting it.
