just been up to club to ask, how many season tickets sold?

7000 he said, absuletly **** is that

 

only 11 thou tommorow, or less

 

its just disgusting that, them 15 extra thou hat went to cardiff where are they

 

Not everybody who went to Cardiff is going to buy a season ticket

It doesn't work like that, clearly. It's not disgusting, just common sense. Big games attract more fans.

 

RE: its just disgusting that, them 15 extra thou hat went to cardiff where are they

part timers obviosly

 

7000 though 1 more thou than last year, is that really alot more, i dont think so

 

It's a hard season ahead

I think it's about what we should have expected. People will continue to see what the standard is and pay on the day. A large percentage of the fan base is distributed around the country, and for that matter the world, and can't afford the time and money to travel to every game so we'll never get anywhere near the season ticket take-up that we get for the big matches.

well my daughter now works Saturday, but my wife and my daughters friend are now ST holders so that's 2 in 1 out.

Oh and my palarse fan bro in law & his nephew went so they're not even part timers and of course Darren Gough

No it wasn;t the vet it was the bloke who played Lady Oakwells lover

 

Are we doing "better fan than you" stuff already?

I wasn't expecting this until around Tuesday.

 

Has Darren Day got a season ticket yet ?

I took 3 non barnsley fans with me and 1 Barnsley fan who lives in St Albans and can't get to many matches. So, thats 1 to 5.

 

What a ridiculous statement CJD

To suggest that all who went to Cardif should be regulars at the well.

I was with a large group, of whom I was the only regular. A couple were fans, whilst others were going for the occasion. Were they wrong to attend, given that they had no intention of going to Oakwell on a regular basis this season.

If that's the case, perhaps you'd of rather we just had 6,500 fans at Cardif, and turned away anybody who hadn't seen 20 games through the season.

 

I get your point varley, but i think we should still be getting more down here

 

Look....

at footage from the start of the promotion to the Premier League season. The crowds we were getting at the time were shockingly low. Thats when we had a team capable of gunning for promotion. We have to be realistic here - we are gonna be battling relegation all season. In which case 7,000 season ticket sales compared to the promotion season is VERY good.</p>

Another thing. Colchester who were promoted with us only have a capacity of just over 6k. We have 1k more season ticket holders than they could possibly fit into the little ground! Southend only have a capacity of just over 12k, and we will break their maximum attendance on a few occasions this coming season. Against Wednesday and Leeds alone we could be looking at around 20k.</p>

So stop feckin moaning, things could be FAR worse than they are. I reckon we have the greatest chance of survival out of the three promoted sides. We also have the potential to go on to bigger and better things in the near future - young squad - top class stadium, etc. We are the only one of the three promoted sides than can boast this, and potentially better than a lot of other Championship clubs.</p>

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE!</p>
