Didn't VITAL say last year " UWE wanted to go alone and built a 15000 stadium and have spoke to South Gloucestershire". I think they even questioned whether UWE spoke to us about these amended plans. Like I said all theses different sources like s.c and Vital cause confusion.
We need one channel now and I am very happy with the new set up at the top !!

Never been disproved but they did call it right that The Mem regeneration wasn't going ahead and we wouldn't be moving to Cheltenham. I agree that news direct from the club is the preferred source and we have already experienced more openness than we are used to.

The author also also said we were being taken over by a Birmingham based consortium... He just reads stories form here, then posts them on Vital. No they never, they said we weren't being taken over by a Birmingham based consortium so they were right. ital Gas understands that a Consortium has made an approach to take over Bristol Rovers Football Club with a promise to invest at least 40 million into building a new Stadium at the UWE and further investment into the team.. It is thought that current Owner and Chairman, Nick Higgs has rejected this advance as it stands as the offer does not allow for repayment of losses that he incurred during his ownership.. The Consortium is thought to be Birmingham based but currently the identities of the individuals involved are unknown. Read more: www.bristolrovers.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=414400#ixzz4ASdVKyF4Not sure if you're taking the pi$$ or are just thick, serious question!! You even wrote it in your post 'The Consortium is thought to be Birmingham based'

You even wrote it in your post 'The Consortium is thought to be Birmingham based' You're focusing on the wrong part of the story. It says "Nick Higgs has rejected this advance", therefore the writer is not claiming that a takeover is complete, he's claiming that it is not. Hope this helps.

Wouldn't it be wiser if we just got one figure from one source ??. Hush you. I want lots of conflicting information from lots of unregulated and anonymous sources. That way I can latch on to any titbit of bullshit I feel like in order to post bollocks online. Ffs man, keep up.

It appears that terrace sales at the memorial stadium are thus so far....... North terrace.....2168 East terrace........942 West terrace.......762 Family terrace.....269
Total...................4141
Full uptake of West and East stands.......1870
Potential 6011 + south stand sales.

If those terrace figures are correct and also the official total figure of 4600 from the club is also correct that would indicate that only 450 seat season tickets have been sold, not really compatible with statements of scarcity regards to matchday seats availability. Leads me to believe that the online ticket page figures are a tad misleading.

It's all a bit of a mystery as those figures are also being quoted on the BRFCSC website, surely they must know if they are accurate or not? Assuming most of the West & East stands seats have sold as s/t's plus a couple of hundred in the South stand then potentially around 2,000 stand seats have been sold, which means only 2,600 terrace s/t's have sold if the total sold is 4,600, surely it's a bigger total than that?

I think the figures will start coming together more at the start of July once all those who wish to renew their seats have done so. My own view is its giving seat holders too long to faff about. Guaranteed renewal of existing seat should end June 1st or even may 15th preferrably ! I suggested terrace tickets needed only sell at 6 a day for the west terrace to sell out before august....currently they are selling at 9 a day on average so on that basis they will all be gone by early July.

There is no incentive to buy a season ticket at the moment. If i didn't have one i would wait until just before the prices go up which i presume will be at the end of June. I imagine sales will now slow to a trickle then speed up at the end. I thought the date that seat holders had to renew by had already passed?

The last day for season ticket holders to renew their seat was the 31st May. The next official figure should include all the renewals and everything will be clear - or maybe not.

I'd have thought that if we have another good season which I'm confident we will it'll be better it we don't sell that many season tickets ? A season ticket saves you about what seven or eight quid a game ? I've got mine but from the clubs point of view we'd rather fans were paying on the gate and paying full whack? Or am I missing something ?

I would imagine that good EARLY season ticket sales not only provide income over the summer months but also can be used in attracting advertising and other commercial affairs. When a club has lots of empty seats to fill season tickets need to be cheap....when a stadium is sold out every week the need to make them cheap no longer exists.

If last season BRFC sold 3526 season tickets and the average crowd was 8096 that means on average 4570 pay on the day or early bird ticket it. If all the seats in the West and East stand sell out that would make our current season ticket sales at about 6129. Therefore if the same average pay on the day people turn up on average the average HOME crowd will be 10,699. With most teams in league one bringing a reasonable away following we will be looking at 11,000 average crowds.
That means EVERY GAME is going to be all ticket matches. So be prepared to miss out on a few home games next season if you can't get a ticket quickly.

Some, if not most, of last year's "pay on the dayers" will be included in the additional ST sales - so there is a bit of double counting in there somewhere. It will be good to see the place full again though.

It will be good to see the place full again though. This is true....but there are also the 3000 who made up the crowds over 8000 to consider plus any new attendees out there. As a generalisation usually season tickets make up half the crowd on a nothing to shout about game most seasons......so even using the 4000+ terrace ticket figure we are looking at 8-9000 . Time will tell ,but I'm expecting rovers to smash their memorial stadium season average record. Rovers are on the up.

Whilst I can see the logic in your thinking, I doubt we will average the sort of attendances unless we are near to or at the top of the table for most of the season. I suspect that the increased season ticket sales will come from the regular pay on the day or early-bird fans. They are committed fans anyway, and may decide to buy a ST to avoid disappointment if we do well. There should be a few more away fans for most games, some clubs will bring the maximum. With a few more casuals attending I can see us averaging up to 9000 if we have some success.

Whilst some of the regular pay on the day fans will have brought season tickets this summer I assume we will now attract more regular pay on the day fans? If we have a good start it will be interesting to see what our average attendance will be for the first few games, in fact if they are attractive teams with large away followings they could well be all ticket matches at the start of the season?
It will be interesting to see if the club stick with the Cat A status for the high profile games or go for a middle of the road price for all home games, if they do that could boost s/t's sales even further?
