He then says "If turning up to match days was going to have an impact then it would be worth it. But not getting 600 quid of Steve from walker ain’t gunna hurt Ashley"

 

That's true. But 10,000 Steves from Walker is £6m quid each year. Plus other matchday revenue, and day sales dropping as they will too. That WILL hurt Ashley and he will care.

Has anyone else heard the rumour that sales are currently 10K down on this time last year?

 

So the word that I got last week was seemingly accurate. To be honest, 10,000 still isn't enough. 15k+ would really be a lot more significant.

That would put current season ticket sales at around the 25/26k mark then. In other words they have to sell out half almost half the stadium to single sales to get the usual 50k+ crowds. Not going to happen even against the top teams, especially with the pricing structure.

 

Average gate next season between 32-35k then. Still too many but a huge step in the right direction.

Cant see that figure being correct, thats 1/3 of ticket holders cancelling

 

Same here. I'll believe that when I see it officially announced at the start of the season.

Out of my family, close friends and work colleagues, which I'll admit is a drop in the ocean compared to the overall amount, less than half have currently renewed their tickets for 19/20. 4 of those who haven't cancelled have only kept theirs going because they've already being paying for next year since March and they dont want to just write that money off. They'll be cancelling in January though if things are still the same.

 

Tbh I can quite believe 1/3rd have decided to call it a day and won't be surprised if the actual figure is slightly higher.

Yeah, I don't struggle to believe that 1/3 have cancelled, instead I struggle to believe that 2/3 are still thinking of going.

 

Just baffles me that tens of thousands still think it's sensible to spend £600 and rock up every week to watch this shitshow.

I would say a fair percentage of those that have signed up have done it in the hope that a takeover goes through and they don't lose their seats.

They're either idiots or liars, then. Or both.

 

I don't doubt that people of that mindset exist, but for it to be 2/3s of our fanbase seems disappointing.

Its great that so many have cancelled but I have one reservation.  Knowing how vindictive the fat get is, he will simply sell of the crown jewels to offset the loss to ST revenue.

 

Let him sell them. He loses even more money once we go down.

He’ll just get a budget manager. Someone happy just to be in a job on £1-2m a year would pretty much cover the offset in ticket sales if the 10k figure is correct.
