None now available on the ticketing site so maybe they're all gone. Been people trying to get spares on the appreciation fb page all week so a lot think it's already sold out. Also if it's gonna rain 20 quid to stand on the East Terrace and get watered on is completely unacceptable in 2016.

Seems to me a lot of people want the easy glory of last day promotion leaving the rest of us to put the hard slog in.

Over 3000 sold so far... Take a look at @official_BRFC's Tweet: Wonder if that includes seats, numbers on the ticketing page indicate over 3k terrace sold so far.

Wow - what a bench that is. And Lockyer captain again. We're going for it !!!! It's a defensive line up though, don't think it will be long before subs are made!

Bought mine today. First time ever, having followed the Gas for over 30 years. Unlikely to make lots of games, but felt like switching from the Helpline It's worth it for convenience i think, will miss quite a few myself but it guarantees no hassle, if we go up and are top 8 you will almost certainly have to buy tickets in advance anyway to guarantee getting in. Looks like we've topped 3000 (terrace) now according to the online figures.

Update on supporters club web page we have now sold 2990 terrace season tickets already !! Only limited seating left as well so we must be well over 4000 easily. So we have surpassed this years sales quite convincingly The club expect no seats to be available on matchdays as long as all existing holders renew. So that's another 1200 east stand plus 750 west and approx 5-600 south. Comfortably topping 5000.

I'll believe it when I'm sat in it with a gob full of pasty ! I know it's heresy to suggest it, but after the new owners have had a couple of months in charge, I would love to hear something about the new stadium, such as will it be bigger/smaller, when it will be started, if it will be at UWE or elsewhere, if it will be externally funded, or indeed anything at all. No news at all frustrates me. This is probably not on-message. I'm impatient as well but quite happy to concentrate on the football at the moment. We need to get some news in the summer though, if we go up it becomes more urgent to get it moving quickly.

Wouldn't surprise me, 4k is a top league one wage, but he has earned that contract, we've paid top money to players in the past who have never been worth it but this lad has proved himself. Also protects our asset as well. Matty taylor will get a similar offer i expect. Thank god for wael or tom would almost certainly be off. Problem is we're a Div 2 club until we get promoted, even if Wael was daft enough to pay him £4K a week how are we going to get around the FFS rules next season if we don't go up? You get one season's grace i think. One more season after that at the mem, then our income will rise considerably, so really only one season to worry about.

And also opposite to the failed 99-00 league one promotion campaign which went sour because certain players were told there would be no increased terms if we went up. Players are motivated like anyone else by the prospect of improving themselves not only professionally but also financially. We seem to be playing it right this time. Those two certain players, I have no time for what so ever. They were swayed by outside influences and downed tools and caused dressing room unrest. Ironically, the relegation season had similarities. Thankfully those dark days are long gone. This really is a new Rovers, not the old Rovers back! The players this time know that there really will be something at the end of it for them, both in financial and playing terms, they feel that with the new ownership we really can progress and they want to be part of it. Even though the new owners haven't been responsible for the building of this squad i'm not sure we'd be kicking on as we are if all the old uncertainty remained.

When you think if we're in league one next season we could potentially have cat a games against swindon, bolton, sheff utd, coventry and millwall. That's 100 quid just for 5 games and a terrace season ticket is 260. No brainer. If we do go up I guess match days prices may increase anyway? Not sure if Cat A games will still apply given that was the previous owners idea? Yes i would imagine terrace matchday tickets will be 20 quid in league one, may or may not be early bird available. That will then be a 200 quid saving with a season ticket.

Category a in league two is a nonsense, only plymouth and pompey would qualify. Not got a problem with paying more for certain matches but don't patronise us with the policing costs reason. I expect matchday prices next to be reviewed under the new regime. No category a with a season ticket!!

i think we all know this is going to the last game....... Not necessarily if the others choke and we hold our nerve. If we win our next two games we're almost there.

Hartlepool are the form team out of that lot. This is becoming impossible to predict. What is certain is that everything you think will happen almost certainly won't!

The most consistent performer in the squad, end of. Only one shocker, at pompey. Could end up breaking appearance records.
