Going off their current capacities that’s the following percentage of season ticket holders. Man U 68% Spurs 73% Arsenal 67% City 75% If we’ve got 33k season tickets, might be slightly generous number, that’s us at 63% the lowest from that lot. Should we move into a new stadium housing 70k, if we didn’t take any new season ticket holders our percentage would dip to 47%. What should be taken into account with the above clubs and Liverpool is that bar City perhaps, they benefit massively from day trippers to boost match day sales. I think leaving our season ticket numbers at 47% would be a massive risk with such a big ground for the less attractive fixtures. Also, I definitely don't want to move if I can't get season tickets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If they don’t offer new season tickets then there needs to be some sort of re-think as to what members get. Allowing members to apply for away tickets and be on an equal footing for cup finals etc would be a start. You can’t have a 70k stadium and the same 25k locked in to all the benefits, as there will likely be another 25k who attend nigh on every game but through whatever circumstances don’t have a season ticket.

mattypnufc Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Needs to be at least 15-20% extra ST holders if we move as that 47% will be an abomination of attendance if we stutter in form. It’ll look like the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, and let's be honest Man city haven't had the day trippers that Liverpool, Man Utd even Spurs and Arsenal being in London. Living in South for last 11 years I rarely get train up as cost is always 3 times more than driving. London Manchester etc have major airports as well...

Guest Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 1 minute ago, The Prophet said: Quote Newcastle United are leaning towards building a new stadium adjacent to their existing St James’ Park home. Telegraph Sport can reveal for the first time the club’s board are getting closer to recommending to Newcastle’s Saudi Arabian owners that the best option for their stadium expansion is the construction of a £1.2 billion new home with a capacity of just under 70,000.

Yorkie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 A new stadium occupying some of the existing land is easily the most palatable option if moving is the plan but Quote Telegraph Sport understands that the new bowl-shaped stadium would be higher than St James’ Park, making it an even more imposing feature of the city’s skyline Sigh.

Yorkie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 2 minutes ago, LFEE said: What you moaning about? Don't think there's any need to get into the nitty gritty of the debate again. But in a nutshell I'd sooner stay at SJP than see us occupy a bog seat design like Spurs. We all know where you stand on the issue, there's no need to be an arse about it. There are good reasons to move and there are good reasons to stay; it depends on what you value and not everyone is the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
