Every credit Stockport season ticket sales

Another one. Wrexham sold 6,300 season tickets in 12 hours on the day they went on sale then had to stop as it would av meant no non season ticket holders could apply for games

How many have Grimsby sold?

I wonder how many Solihull Moors would have sold if promoted. Probably less than a thousand.

Grimsby, just over 4,000 according to the local press. Bradford City however had sold 14,036 according to the Yorkshire Post, and that was six days ago.
 
The combined population of Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre is around 325,000, not much less than Derby or Leicester. The potential is there.

Yes, but the population mix is totally different to Derby and Leicester with regard to people born and bred here, are far poorer and less skilled and the fact we have a far higher mix of Manc and Liverpool plastics.

As for Bradford Realfish, their season tickets are about a tenner aren't they? 🤔
 
They're seemed to be a boom in non league attendances last season. Clubs were getting bigger crowds than they did when they were in the football league.

I think Bradford's were around £190. Agreed - not a bad deal.

Have a look at this. Set it to15km (approx 10 mile) and click on some towns. Adjust a bit so you're not including any nearby places with football clubs. Then you'll see why the comparative figures are what they are.

Population around a point

It's fair but not really a good comparison with Blackpool given its more sea in that circle than land, its incredible the number is still so high.

Obviously it does affect who we can attract as we don't have that catchment area like other places do.

However I reckon the vast majority of core support comes from a smaller area.

Obviously can make figures look any way we want and including more land of the Fylde coast you can get similar, as a circle only really works with inland towns, our catchment area runs only 1 way.

Those outside that area probably make up a fairly small amount of the attendances, although again in Blackpool case we are known to have a lot of exiles.

The main issue for us is the transient population we do have.

It’s still an opportunity though, the numbers are there, it’s a question of getting them as customers, whether that be occasional or regular.

I think it's more for reference that clubs of similar sizes tend to have similar populations within around 10 mile. Us, PNE, Blackburn, Burnley not dissimilar. But we have a far more restricted catchment area. Derby for example has a much bigger population within 10 miles, Bradford's is huge. Then look at Peterborough, Colchester for example. And then there's Brighton.

Yeah we are at a disadvantage, however when using the fylde coast we do have a decent amount, just unfortunately often with other allegiances.

There are all sorts of Natural boundaries (Mountains, Rivers, Moorland etc..) and plenty of unnatural ones that limit the local population for football clubs…. As far as Blackpool is concerned we’ve always had a million and one ready rolled excuses as to why our attendances have failed to meet expectations…. The reality is that we’ve never done anywhere near enough as a Club or cares enough about the Club to try and do anything positive about the issue.

Excuses rather than action is what has ‘ever been thus’ …

Interesting - didn’t think it would have been that high TBH - thought the Fylde catchment area was more like 250k.

Thats just off that app with estimated data and 2015. Not sure of the real numbers as of now, when the census comes out well know more.

But there was this...

en.m.wikipedia.org

Blackpool urban area - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org en.m.wikipedia.org

10 year old though and we know Blackpool had fallen to about 138k in 2020, may be higher now though...
 
Good ST sales, so well done to the supporters, rather than choosing to watch City or that red shoite 🤮
Every credit to their owner too, what a fantastic thing to do for your club:

Stockport County owner Mark Stott has cleared the £7.7m debt the club owed him that was used to invest in the then National League side following his takeover in January 2020.

In a statement, the now League Two club said the investment has been converted into equity.

The club added that they have no debt outstanding to Mr Stott for his investment.

Then there’s Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers, Oldham & Barnsley … I wonder how many each of those clubs have sold… 🤔

Are Oldham still owned by that dodgy bloke who they all hate? Can’t imagine that many will be queueing up to get back to Boundary Park.
