2000! ....my a*r*e. And I was about halfway down

Thank-you whoever sorted this out. I was quite happily walking along and turned the corner and saw the masses on the bridge. Bawled my eyes out!! Well done the organisers and all those who showed the world!!

Haha! Thanks. I obviously did a man look to see if it had already been posted!

Love David Squires. Here's a take on Rooney and DCFC

It's difficult to get an accurate reflection from this forum on when people stop buying a season ticket. We are by definition on here a somewhat self selecting group who are bothered enough to spend our time on a DCFC forum. I would therefore expect a higher proportion of more emotionally invested fans...and consequently a higher level of loyalty to keep buying.

Nearly all teams see a decline in tickets sold as they decline down the leagues. If for example Derby get relegated to League 1 how many seasons tickets would they sell. £15k? Clearly 5-10k less than the recent play off chasing seasons.

Taking COVID out of the equation If that were the case then in normal circumstances  around 20%-25% of season tickets holders would stop buying just because of lower level football.
