BullyWeeLad Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 According to a post a few weeks ago we have sold 15% more season tickets now than we did last season, hard to tell what kind of number that will be.. I think after Falkirk and Raith we will probably have the third highest will be close with airdrie but think we will over take them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I genuinely think you’re a w****r.... Purely making a factual observation as to the number of season tickets we’ve sold. People are perfectly entitled not to renew for whatever reason they wish but the fact is the vast majority have renewed.

Tbh, I suspect you are too..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 We've sold 600 less STs than at this point last season and I'd put that figure down entirely to the fans lack of confidence in the board 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Was our figure not in the 300 ballpark last year? Remember updates being posted Edit to add: had a look and without scrolling through hundreds of posts I can find one saying a bit over 320 Edited July 8, 2019 by cb_diamond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so, our wilderness years in cumbernauld saw us lose roughly half our average gate (if not more), they never came back. Then half a dozen seasons in this purgatory has saw us drop from crowds in the 1300-1500 range to an average of about 8/900. It's brutal, but it's the reality. In my head, we're still the challenging first division team of the 90s with teams like yourselves, thistle and dunfermline as our contemporaries. Whereas really, we are at the level we deserve to be at. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now look at us all [emoji22]Will be interesting to see how Falkirk’s crowds are. Decent average last year (4500) and only United & Dunfermline brought decent away crowds. Many Home fans want change at the club though and some have vowed only to attend Away matches. I’d imagine the club will be hoping for a minimum of 3000 (2000+ ST holders and then 1000 PATG between Home & Away fans). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Some impressive doublethink here. You get Falkirk fans who are capable of criticising people who have bought season tickets, while simultaneously boasting that lots have done so. A remarkable bunch. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Think we got up to 340ish last year? I can see that there has been some comments on our Facebook fans group displaying some misguided beliefs that there is a boycott (official or unofficial) of some sort, and I was puzzled as to where it had come from. In retrospect, could it indicate that we are down on season ticket sales from this time last year and that this was suggested as a possible reason? I doubt that Clyde will overtake us in season ticket sales given their average attendance was over 100 fewer than ours. But I suppose I wouldn't rule it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
