So we know Bradford sell a shed load of season tickets as cheap as chips . We’ve sold 3900 Tranmere 3200 Anyone else got approx numbers sold for other sides in our division ? Let’s see how good or bad we’re doing . I think we’re doing pretty well all things considered, after just being relegated. quick google Walsall 2600 Port Vale 4600 www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/port-vale-season-tickets-northampton-5742894Exeter 1663 (early bird as of 15th July) Mansfield 2500 as of last week Port Vale doing well ….. not that surprising after their great finish last season. Exeter surprisingly low .

Tranmere have Liverpool and Everton on their doorstep. We have Bristol city and bath city. I know we got relegated etc etc but I think 3900 is a poor showing from us. With our competion and backing from the owner this season we should be selling 5k minimum. I guess the facilities don’t help. 😥 but I do think our fan base is dwindling / aging. I know it’s been said lots of times but the club really do need to drive to get young fans back at the mem for our long term future. Hard I know when our family stand is a tent. Why should we be exceeding our normal season ticket sales immediately after a pandemic in which many people lost their jobs and from which many people are not comfortable attending crowd events? Typical Rovers fan - pluck something out of the air and whinge about the club without even considering what it is you're whinging about. Where is my whinge about the club in that post? If saying the club needs to drive towards attracting the young fans back is having a whinge at the club then I misunderstand the meaning of the word whinge. As for saying we should be selling 5k that’s not w whinge at the club in anyway. I don’t think 5k season ticket holders is an unrealistic target at all for a club in a city of our size. You can look at the pandemic effect in both ways. I can name many people who have bought season tickets for the first time as a result of being starved of football for so long.

No, you can't look at the pandemic effect in many ways. More people are out of work now than were before. More people are wary of attending populous events than were before. You've just picked a figure of 5k out of the air and decided that's what should be happening. You've ignored previous season ticket sales figures and you've ignored the current climate. I could say my car should be driving at 200 miles an hour and just ignore the fact that it's never driven that fast before and the fact that they've just made it a 20 limit outside my house. It's easy to just pluck figures out of the air.

Port Vale doing well ….. not that surprising after their great finish last season. Exeter surprisingly low . Think you will find Port vale numbers were swelled because they ran a brilliant offer where children under the age of 12 could buy a season ticket for £10. Read somewhere that best part of a 1000 were sold, which fair play is a great fans for the future campaign.

I personally don’t see aiming to attract 5k season ticket holders is a bad thing or unattainable target. The port vale initiative for kids for instance sounds fantastic. When I was a kid watching at twerton it was always quid a kid. I know that was 30 years ago now but with the lack of kids attending gas matches anyway I don’t see why we can’t bring back quid a kid for every home game for instance. It won’t affect gate money much at all.

I do recall quid a kid matches at Twerton but only as a select offer for particular games, not as standard.

Does anyone know what the capacity has been reduced to this season? It says on the latest faq release by the club that the terraces have been split into sections to reduce capacity in each section to maintain social distancing. Can we still stand where we want when we enter or does our season tickets dictate where we can stand? Sorry if this has already been answered before.

Of course, the tracker doesn’t recognise my season ticket number.

Quid a kid at Twerton yes remember it...but that would have been pre 1996 ...it is now 2021 ...we can't surely offer such a similar deal.
Or maybe £1.25 a pint a beer
