sage Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I spoke to a football journalist friend who has heard the current plan is to start back on 12th September with a 1/3 stadium capacity. He was keen to stress that it was an ever moving feast both in terms of the start date/criteria but also in terms of how those criteria may change during the season.

Hard to see how they decide who gets to renew their ST then if it's only 10k seats. Don't we have nearly 20k ST holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that work? most consecutive years will be older fans, who would be less likely to want to mingle in great numbers I'd happily defer my ST for next season if I still qualified for Early Bird prices the season after - I'd take that hit for the greater good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't we have nearly 20k ST holders? I think its more like 17k season ticket holders. I imagine a fair chunk of those won't renew in the current circumstances. As people have already started renewing I think it will be first come first served. As there will be no away fans I guess we are looking at around 11k fans.

Animal is a Ram Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Free Rams TV for the period in which attendances are limited. Rotation. Every ST holder is guaranteed one in 2 games, based on 22k STs and an 11k capacity. No idea how you'd mitigate for people with a more expensive category, but that's the fairest thing I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think we won't sell many more than 11k season tickets under the current situation anyway. I would imagine the majority of those over 65, asthmatic, pregnant, type 1 diabetic or living with someone in the above categories won't renew this season.

Fans ticket money is a drop in the ocean. Also dont forget season ticket money they will already have had. Wigan ain't going to get many walk ups are they?! Wigan going bust has nothing to do with lack of fans in the stadium, nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
