Another Season Ticket update

I think 12,000 plus would be a great average when you throw into the mix lots of mid week games and the fact we could well find ourselves in the bottom half of the table given how newly promoted teams usually fair.
 
I don't get why people are banging on about how great the numbers are

8k is ok nothing more

Lets not forget we are back in the championship, we are Oyston free and people have been starved of live football for over a year

There is a massive feel good factor surrounding the club

I was hoping for 10k

I think the price increases have put people off ..

8k is a good effort after a pandemic...I'm sure they'll be plenty of fans who will POTG aswell.

I have attached a link to average attendances for the Championship 2019/20 and we should be just under halfway down the table, which I think is fantastic. It's all about the atmosphere and if we can be looking at 14000+ then Bloomfield Road is going to be rocking.

Average attendance 2019/20

I looked at those averages and wondered if they are slightly wrong as it says 23 games, didn’t that season get cut short with the last few games so maybe only 20 home games were played? I do think we will average around 12000 with away fans being allowed in, wonder how much of the East we will give away fans?

Nonsense. :)
 
So its been a trickle and seats have only gone up by 40 since last count by tts charts, but at least still going up.

Given TTs count doesn't minus of the seats that aren't available like in the north, the real number is lower.

I counted 7816 around the time of his last count so only 40 more is 7856.

With corporate should be well over 8k but yet no announcement..... unless the club were waiting until 8k season tickets without corporate.

Otherwise not sure why they wouldn't shout about a decent milestone....
 
Im not sure who some people think we are yes were doing great and there is a buzz about the place but weve always had a modest support thats not having a go its just a fact over 8,000 season tickets for a club of our size is very good when you throw all the other factors in.

I'd have a lot more respect for you if you just admitted that this is all just about your wallet. You want a Championship club, and you have boundless ambition, just as long as someone else pays for it all.

What on earth are you on about?

I've bought 4 season tickets even though i will probably only attend a third of the games

For about the millionth time its not about me

You really are some sort of special aren't you

You are aware of the global pandemic that’s scared the shite out of a lot of people ? I would suggest quite a few won5 come back as they will be hiding behind the sofa watching the results.

I think 8k is quite good in these times when you think the amount of away fans coming for their weekend in Blackpool. We will do alright.
has anyone got our average attendances history ?

We should be packing the ground out with home fans now the Oystons have gone, not relying on away fans ...

I used to hate it back in the 80s and 90s when we used to give away fans 4k tickets

I agree but you only have to read this site to take a section of society views on the current situation with the pandemic.

Just over 3 weeks from when restrictions are lifted is for our first game but mask wearing, social distancing avoiding crowded places is spoke about it has to make a difference.

Me Fuck that at a football match.

I think we have done well with 8k
There will still be people not going cause of the pandemic (waiting to see what happens when people mix etc.) plus people being put off by paying for a season ticket with no refunds if something does go wrong with the government plan.

we probably have enough season ticket sales to be over the average attendance for the club every week.

to be honest I think your being unrealistic

It’s always got to be about how do you encourage the IPhone generation to switch off FIFA football on their X box, leave their bedrooms, and enjoy everything a live match brings?

Forget win, lose or draw. Forget Premier league or signing Mbappe - just have a laugh, sing and chant, rant at players and jump around with mates and new mates down at the footy. Experience that every 2 weeks - it’s totally different to anything else you are doing at school, college or work.

It’s not the same as a house party, watching a film or going to the gym. Going to the footy is unique, and every 2 weeks you can go to a live match and feel everything from anger to boredom to elation and with little control of when that’s going to occur. Have a bit of that in your lives. You cannot get that at home watching it on the TV, it’s just not the same at all….

Sell that sizzling sausage to the teens and you aren’t worrying about if we can fill the ground.

Brilliant post. Get Ewan McGregor voicing your second and third paragraphs along with a BFC montage and some stirring music…job done 😎

Agreed, however there’s no hiding the fact some may disagree and decide to stay at home.

Absolutely Scara but some will want to get back out to the football.

It will work both ways but I couldn't quantify myself and you'd have to ask the season ticket experts.
 
How many on here are going to be POTG and how many matches in the season. Could be a fair few that are happy to pay weekly and attend All games, just due the civid situation.
 
Why have the club not announced how many they have sold? I believe that with the alleged figures involved, it would encourage more people to buy them.

I can't attend many games so POTG will be the way I watch BFC next season.
 
Presumably someone will ask the question at the structured dialogue meeting and, if not, definitely one for the @SLO_BFC to enquire about (also be nice to hear how they could benefit from this Euro's).
 
I think we sold 5-5.5k in our first season back in the second tier in 2007-8?? You could say people are desperate to get back but football is habit forming and when people get out of the habit you have a job to win them back. In that respect our promotion was a godsend in terms of stimulating interest and it will be interesting to see what crowds other clubs get. Undoubtedly, the euros won't do any harm to attendances.

I seem to think it was about that & as our capacity was very low I wondered if we'd suffer lockouts, so I bought season tickets for the first time, having also got a new job which allowed it to be viable. 7,500 in the current uncertain climate is ok TBH. If we average 12,000 I'll be pleasantly surprised, unless we exceed expectations.
 
Can’t see many more ST being sold now unfortunately due to the early bird deal being finished & the rise in figures infected with this pandemic, I’d brainwashed myself into believing all would be back to normal after Monday for some daft reason, club shop shut for tickets today I would assume due to the staff contracting the virus, cases up in general, god knows what’s going to happen when we’re all mixing again, probably only home fans allowed in stadiums at best, how can we arrange away days /travel/ accommodation etc with all the uncertainty, looks to me like herd immunity is the only way forward, well I’m a bundle of fun aren’t I !!
