Bristol Boy Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Probably sales pitch and you have to ask how he'd know??I expect an increase if we are promoted because we'll need more money for better players and, on the basis that happens to a significant degree, I would expect an increase in the region of 10-20%.If that happens, I think we'll get around 10,000 ST Holders, possibly more if there is no EE.

cityboy1965 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I heard from a source within the club that the increase will be between 10-15%, which I think is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
