If anyone thinks that the sale of season ticket in anyway will pay for anything other than some kit and a few balls then they are deluded. Yes it helps the club through the summer months but no way does it pay for a new pitch and everyone's wages. So, it helps, but it wont "save" the club.
Wael is right, just end the season, it's already too hot to see any decent footy

I love the gas with a passion but I am fed up with the silence from our board regarding training ground and stadium, There is nothing at all to look forward to being a Rovers fan these days. I hate feeling like this but I do. Oh yeah, this really does sound like passionate love. I can just picture your cheeks aflame with barely controlled surplus emotion as you wrote this particular piece of effusive poetry:

Wael is right, just end the season, it's already too hot to see any decent footy Something keeps the club running at this level if it's not fans being tickets etc what is it? 3,000 fans buying season tickets is the best part of £1m, I sense your deluded if you think a football club would still operate at L1 level w/o fans buying tickets. Wael wants to continue with the season if the BP are correct.

At the moment, there's a price freeze and current season ticket seat holders seat is reserved deal until June 1st. There is no more official information at this time, but would never be surprised to see the deadline extended at some point. It'll probably be announced on or after expiry date! The best course of action is to contact Clare direct, or even email. I can't see anything but the price freeze staying and being available for the foreseeable. it's the only thing that makes sense

The club can keep my S/T money paid for this season, on the proviso that when everyone knows what is happening next season, I can renew my S/T at the discounted price. Don't we need to be told what's actually happening this season before being told what's happening next season? If this season is played out to a conclusion, I don’t think anyone would be watching as spectators at the Mem. If so, the club should extend their deadline until it becomes clear about next season before anyone commits their self.

It's a total mess as the EFL can't even bring this season to a conclusion let alone sort out next season. Whatever happens the club will have to refund s/t holders if they can't attend games, if the Mem is restricted to 25% or whatever capacity at some point next season then hopefully the club rewards the fans who've still bought s/t's this summer.

I started a thread on this before, only 1,200 tickets sold is very poor compared to normal season when we would sale 5,000 tickets and with games cancelled is a massive drop in revenue, it is one reason why the way this season is to end needs to be decided soon,also if you can afford a season ticket for next year buy one. Because I would rather have a club and season to look forward to next year even with reduced games than no club at all. Would be lost if I didn't have my Rovers, nearest choice for football after the gas is Swindon or the Sh*t and I would rather die than watch that cr*p, I only hope the club survives and we get to see Rovers play again soon.

Plans are being muted in some circles that spectators will start to be allowed to watch matches in Premiership Rugby in August on the basis that the numbers will be restricted to a third of the ground capacity. Sounds reasonable to me if the crowd is suitably marshalled. If this plan is to be adopted it could well open up the same for football supporters - could be that in our case the supporters allowed to attend would be season tickets holders only. I can’t see how the hospitality boxes could be opened on this basis.

Did we really sell 5,000 last summer? The problem with the Mem is if you don't have a stand season ticket there's no real incentive to buy one this summer until there's some clarification as when fans might be allowed to attend games, as the terraces are never going to sell out. The third of capacity is something already being mooted in Italy and Spain, where there's talk of using 1 seat in 3, not sure how that would work with terracing, someone at the club might need a lot of tape I guess!

I thought the 5000 season ticket figure was when we returned to league 1. I don’t remember it being announced last season. I can’t see many people renewing yet unless they are desperate to hold on to a seat they have. I am certainly willing to write off my season ticket money this season to help the club, but I am not prepared to buy another and risk only seeing half a season. Also, I find it crass that some people on Facebook have been telling fans not to ask for a refund on their seasons tickets. I am lucky that I have managed to keep my job (and health) through this period, but others will not have been so lucky and may be struggling financially so everyone has to make their own decision based on circumstance.

Pretty certain we have a core 5000 fans that have quoted and season ticket sales are normally more in the 2-3k level maximum apart from our 1st season back in Bristol as you say. Restricting our stadium to social distancing and 1/3 capacity should be fairly straightforward - just follow the models supermarkets have with single entrance in and out and one way .... I think 1200 season tickets sold is fantastic numbers in current circumstances
