What do you think are the chances of getting a season ticket for next season. I’ve just joined the waiting list.

Where do you think these extra STs will come from? We have sold the maximum number haven't we.
I’m sure a few people’s circumstances change or DDs don’t go out and they become available? Or the club might’ve held a few the club hood back for whatever reason - double bookings, etc?Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 3:34 pmWhere do you think these extra STs will come from?

Either on DD or paid up front.
I thought the waiting list would be for next year.
Re: capacity, I’d disagree if we’re at the point where we have a ST waiting list and a lot of games sold out in the Championship.bobinho wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 3:40 pmGround development? Yes, absolutely. CFS in particular needs serious work. Surprised we are allowed to use it at all considering the congestion/overcrowding/bottleneck issues experienced every week.
BL could do with a tidy up, as could the other two “new” stands.
Capacity increase? Nope. No need. It’s plenty big enough as it is….
Trouble is in order to increase the capacity we’d have to temporarily decrease the capacity while a new stand was built. That was straight forward in the mid 90s when the ‘new’ stands were built as there was still room for everyone who wanted to attend. Becomes more difficult when you’re getting full houses most weeks.NewClaret wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 3:51 pmRe: capacity, I’d disagree if we’re at the point where we have a ST waiting list and a lot of games sold out in the Championship.
I think we could add a 1-2k or so and fill it in the Prem, especially if we’re competitive and playing decent football. And that’s before considering giving more to away teams.
Although I am pretty sure there’s ways to do that without massive changes. You could add rows to the front of the CFS and BL, bring the fans closer to the pitch and add capacity.
Objection your honour …. I’m already on the front rowNewClaret wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 3:51 pmRe: capacity, I’d disagree if we’re at the point where we have a ST waiting list and a lot of games sold out in the Championship.
