I know at least two that are not going due to holiday commitments.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Whichever way you slice it 15,300 STHs for a mediocre championship side that just stayed up last season is bloody impressive. I know we`re having a good year and we`re playing Manchester which will have affected things but I bet a lot of other comparable clubs with similar sized grounds in this league would love those figures. Does anyone know how many STs the likes of Forest, Fulham, QPR, Ipswich or Reading have sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 1 hour ago, Lord Northski said: As people have said, darn good news indeed. Anyone know how many season ticket holders we had before the half season ones were available. I believe it was just over 13,000. That was a reduction from the previous season's 14,300 approx. The biggest benefit from this cup run and of course the match with Manchester, is that if we continue our good league form, we may have recruited more regulars than just a good season in the league would have. As others have said, it'll be interesting to see how many renew in the summer. The extra numbers may just be those who would pay on the day but once an ST holder, it's a wrench to give it up especially if we continue to improve, but also that you gain friendships around your seat and these disappear if you have to move. Never forget the "social" side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 27 minutes ago, Selred said: Can we please dispel this rumour. No one will pay £199 for a half season ticket, and £30 for a United ticket (£230) just to go to one game. Agree. But they will if they were considering, perhaps, going to 2 or 3 more before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Over 15000 season tickets is really good considering that up until so far this season we've struggled since returning to the Championship. It feels like we're a club on the up. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But many of those 1,800 will no doubt have been attending games anyway. Not every game, but our crowds won't go up by exactly 1,800 if you see what I mean. 25 minutes ago, Between heaven and hell said: Dont forget there will be a lot of hospitality packages to come out of that 8600 If they're not included in ST sales/already purchased seats then that would be another 1,000, you're right.

I'd be very surprised if the game made general sale in light of today's announcement. Good call as Bris ST holders are automatically members. There are those who support City or Bris that will never be interested in attending the other code, but among the rest, there will be a good percentage who will take an interest in many sports other than their own favourite. Even if only a few hundred get tickets for the alternate code, it's good to see "bums on seats" rather than empty ones. Very importantly, the more we have games with large attendances and no crowd problems, the more likely, some rugby fans, are to attend. Some twenty years and more since the height of hooliganism and some still believe it's not very safe to attend a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scare_Man Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I was looking at a half season card today - looking at the singing section and mentions that it's still all unreserved (S25 & S26), presumably that means that it's not sold out there then? I thought an actual seat number was assigned, especially with all the heavy handed stewarding/police presence in there recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snufflelufagus Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Should be a pretty decent gate next Tuesday. What with all those members who need a extra game to get to 4 or for those who need at least 1 purchase on their membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Perhaps this ST boost is recognition of our league position and the added bonus of a glamorous cup tie with one eye on us achieving a play off place and a guaranteed seat should we look ever more likely to be in that enviable position? shoukd we reach the promised land by some minor miracle at least those of us with a ST are in prime position for a season of Premier league football and not have to clamour for whatever the club make available - I know it’s only November but wishful thinking!!

Admin Ian M Posted November 16, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Pretty sure late last week we heard we had sold 500. With phone lines opening today I wouldn't be surprised to see us edge closer to 16k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 It's an amazing amount, but I'm thinking with so many ST holders now what will the club do if we get another big game at some point, an away game? Tickets are going to be much harder to get perhaps? Ah well, think about that when it happens. Glad our ground will look fuller, hopefully, if people turn up on a wet February night as well as Man U.

Meh Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 The people going on about Rugby ST holders do realise that they also needed to have attended 4 City games to be part of the priority groups don’t they?

Rovers sold their most ever season tickets this year 5,410, we nearly have 10,000 more. The funny thing is, as you rightly say AP, that number is a record for them.

Their choice, of course. But they can’t be expecting any level of priority without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
