It’s going to be really interesting to see what he does with season tickets this year.

 

Will he heavily discount them knowing fans aren’t going to renew in high numbers or will he carry on ripping fans off as he can’t afford not to?

 

 

My view is that he will put them on sale well before Christmas at the same price as he charged for this season's Early Bird, but with the added incentive of extra TPP's for renewals.  He could offer 100 extra points per renewal without costing him anything.

Agree but fear that c90% will renew. 

Where do you get that figure from Lawrie?

I can only go on the people on our minibus who are ST holders (8 adult and 1 junior) and not 1 are renewing. The 4 others that often come to some games with us (previously bought memberships so attend 10-15 games via potg), have not been to a game so far this season and don't intend to whilst he's still in charge.

I know it's only a small sample, but I'd be surprised more than 5000 renewed. That's still too high imo, but it would be a major blow to his income streams if numbers were anywhere close to that figure.

I think I’ve done for a bit now tbh. Not faulting any of the players/staff but I find the whole experience demoralising I’ve seen us a lot worse than this on the pitch but the whole club is broken and it’s just depressing.

Tbh I’m thinking the same. I only do it for the drinks pre / post match. I think me and my mates will sort summat else and stay away

The match against Middlesbrough would be ideal for a boycott. Midweek turning cold and I think it’s on sky

All midweek games are on Sky+

What makes you so confident?

Let’s put it this way we sit with 20 other season ticket holders and only two will have them and that’s because they bought 5 year ones

Here my take FWIW

The comparator is this years early birders v last years not this years early birders v last years ST holders

We have c16k fans with ST for this season even though DC was already destroying SWFC last year. 

ST holders are still going to games because they might as well cos they’ve already paid for their seats even though this is sunk cost fallacy.

Fans are stilling buying food & drink in the ground. 

We’re still selling out away games cos people want to support the lads

Fans wanted to POTD v Grimsby for a myriad of reasons. 

There’s no evidence these people can or will change. Only hearsay so let’s see what happens.

It's a proper full broadcast game, not Sky+.

My concern is that there are a lot of people who are currently saying they won’t renew but when push comes to shove they will.

Thanks for your response.

I'm one of those ST holders you mention who renewed at the last early bird prices. I did so with some reluctance based on the previous embargoes and late payment of wages but did so none the less. Its a decision I now regret based on the shitshow since March onwards.

I can't change the past so I'm not going beat myself up over it, however I can positively make changes going forward; one being not renewing whilstever he is still in charge. I also believe many more are of the same or similar opinion, though as you say not everybody is on board with that change.

I'm quite positive that a significant majority will not renew whilst he's still in charge, but we won't know final figures until much later. We'll just have to wait and see.

Don’t they count season tickets even as a no show?

I dunno mate. I think there’s a big number that won’t.

Just to add. I’m not blaming anyone who attends games, buys stuff in the ground or renews. It’s their individual choice. Just think that people who haven’t broken their habits will find it hard to do so in the future.

lets hope something forces SC out and we can all go back to watching Wednesday, whatever that means to us
