Assuming an average price of £150, to take into account youth/under 14 tickets that means we could make £250k - £300k on season ticket sales.
Compare that with the biggest clubs such as Huddersfield and Bolton who sell 10-15,000 season tickets at a similar price and they could make £1.5M to £2M on season ticket sales which shows the difficulty at competing at this level.
Preston said the aim was to stabilise at this level and he is right. Need to compete but stay up, wonder if that will determine who we buy/style this year. They will want to invest but be wary of doing a Forest Green or Carlisle, so got to get right players.
Yeah I emailed mine over on Monday and got a reply today with a call. All very efficient.
Word of warning to anyone holding off, no more West Stand season tickets left, had to change over the phone. Saved myself a few quid going to the terrace
I also asked how many had been sold and the lady wasn't aware, just got a 'much more than last year!'
Wow that is really something next season the West Stand FULL STH only.
According to the Football Ground Guide the West Stand holds 1,150. However, not these would be available to season ticket holders (some seats held back for press, directors and guests of both sides, etc). Even so still impressive if all others sold out.
I am sure there are a lot people that have bought season ticke ts for terrace like me, or for East Stand too, so it would be useful for club to give official update on sales soon.
Wondering if a West stand STH will be bringing a friend along on their bonus freebie.
If the West Stand has sold out, I think we’ve got to the stage where the club would benefit from enabling West Stand STHs to be able to free up their seats for a small refund so the club can re-sell the seat.

But that’s assuming all west stand STH’s who have their seats held from last season renew for this season. That’s not a guarantee. They are held until the beginning of July
Block G in the west stand will always have seats not used as this area is for the players families and scouts - there are a few season ticket holders in this area and we actually have our season tickets there but if we ever cancelled them we would not be able to get them there again - not that we are likely to move.

I emailed the club yesterday and asked them to give them an update and they have done so. 1316 tickets sold including 726 renewals.
They have also confirmed that they will no longer be selling new season tickets for the West Stand (apart from renewals). Anyone who wants to renew their seat/ticket has until 1 July to do so.
They have advised they are not selling all seats in the West Stand to allow a certain proportion of fans to buy on the day (or for 2 free tickets for season ticket holders).
As there has been 726 renewals it looks like there are still about 300 or so still to renew.
