Super Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Sure that number will go up a lot if we retain Championship status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison doesn't quite fit. That article was from the end of April last year, as it references the draw at Blackburn on the 22nd that 'secured Championship status'. I would think that our sales will see a jump once that has been done this season as well. With any luck after away to Blackburn again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both figures are taken at the end of the renewals period, so it's a very good indicator. 2,500 = 22% down, that's significant I'd say...hardly just a few stragglers.

Robbored Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If City retain SBC status and SC sales end up less than last season it'll be the club that suffers thru SL not changing managers when relegation was looking a distinct possibility. Ive already renewed so it definitely wasn't my fault......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair to say that despite last season being very very disappointing, there was some general optimism at the end which doesn't appear to be the case now.

Port Said Red Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 But no one was renewing, I read it here. I was looking forward to wandering up to the bar at HT, being first served, drinking my drink in silence before picking which seat I fancied sitting in for the second half. I may have to reconsider my rash decision to renew now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 No early bird discount may also be having an impact (along with LJ and a shit season) . No reason to renew until we know where we'll be, may pick up a little if/when we are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The 65% figure, 65% of what? 65% of the current ST figures or 65% of the current capacity? If it's of the ST sales (assuming 13,000), then that's 8,450 If it's capacity of the ground, that about 13,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be 65% of what ticket sales were same time last year in which case it could be anything although that would I guess be around the 5k mark, in which case not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning To One Side Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I reckon the "new ground" novelty had an impact in renewals last time (i.e. Increase) which I think will be hard to match this time around That and also the testing second half of the season we're experiencing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is a very good indicator. The two scenarios are very different; the uncertainty over which division we will be playing in is a hugely influential factor for many people. Only once our Championship status is secured (or otherwise) can we really make a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Adam Baker is quoted as saying 9100 and if I'm reading it right those figures are for Wednesday 5th April? I was told the figures for the day before was approx 8000, so they went up by in a day by 1100...not bad when you consider we had the Preston result overnight!!!

Turbored Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Lots of different numbers being said right now it's probably more spin. At a guess I would say be lucky if we sold 6k , I personally don't know anyone who has renewed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of the 35% that haven't, I'd wager at least 75% will do if we cement Championship status. Social media has heightened the hyperbole factor but I think overall sales will end up being fairly similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
