Sadly, we will be quite a few down on previous seasons through varied reasons.burnmark wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 6:04 pmHow are we looking in regards to total sales? There seems to have a been a decline in ST holders each Premier League season and was wondering if that trend has been bucked. My gut feeling is that we won’t have and could be looking at our lowest average gate this season in comparison to previous ones.
Sorry for the delayed reply, missed this.
Thanks for the update, I think a fair few 'lapsed' season ticket holders will return after the footy drought, myself being one of them.NewClaret wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 6:47 pmSorry for the delayed reply, missed this.
For me it was quite long, queued down the ramp towards the club shop. I’d say I was there about 30 minutes waiting to be seen. Was shorter when I left but still a queue. I think a few had given up & decided to return later.
I was in & out really but when I was in there I overheard two families being set up as “new fans” - no clarets number - which surprised me.
Hard to know how many didn’t renew in phases 1 & 2 but judging by the queue, messages on here and on social media there are a lot returning or buying for ST’s for the first time (my wife included) so wouldn’t be shocked to hear we’ve increased ST holders substantially & tickets are harder to come by next year.
A few exciting signings may also help!!!
that was my pointgawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:36 pmRe- socially distanced dressing rooms; don't our temporary arrangements for visiting teams block the exit from the CFS?
Yes, I think a lot will have missed it; the whole pandemic has been a good reminder not to take anything for granted and to do things while you can.gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:27 pmThanks for the update, I think a fair few 'lapsed' season ticket holders will return after the footy drought, myself being one of them.
I did my purchase online rather than risk a long queue and got a good seat in Block 2 in the Bob Lord Stand, the best stand in my opinion.
Don't know but possibly if the CF stand home section can't be used (and I'm not saying that it can't) then the Club may be having to find seats for all the ST holders in there in other parts of the ground for the Brighton game before they sell any more ST's??2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:38 am07.30am
Mon 02/08/21.
Has anyone any idea why I can't buy a season ticket this morning online?
It is saying (in a big red banner) 'Season Tickets not available'.
Assume one solution, albeit temporary, would be to not allow away fans and move the Home CFS fans into the away section, allowing the away temp dressing room to operate.gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:36 pmRe- socially distanced dressing rooms; don't our temporary arrangements for visiting teams block the exit from the CFS?

They have done Phase 1, 2 and last week even new Phase 3 tickets in the CFS last week.
Hopefully they will but if true that is a huge deficit. You currently can’t buy ST’s on line for some reason and still no news of sales for Brighton a week and a half away. The silence is just weird.Rileybobs wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:02 amAnd people wonder why the club were keen for supporters to keep their money tied up. Reductions were always going to be likely as people get out of the habit. Not to mention the uncertainty around capacity. Hopefully the numbers will pick up before the start of the season.
That’s very doubtful considering Brentford’s capacity.burnmark wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:07 amHopefully they will but if true that is a huge deficit. You currently can’t buy ST’s on line for some reason and still no news of sales for Brighton a week and a half away. The silence is just weird.
Looks like we’ll have the lowest attendances in the league this season.
I can't see this happening. It will be too difficult with fans in the ground to have players coming from varied bits of the ground and its surroundings.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 6:22 pmyou have to feel that his decision is going to have impact on capacity at the Turf - from the Mail
