I get that some will have genuine reasons, work, weddings, holidays etc but surely not 9000. It's not just reserved for the season tickets holders from 20/21 that didn't have a refund that the seats were reserved for. It's also the 20/21 season ticket holders that decided on a refund, and all the people who had 19/20 season tickets that didn't necessarily renew.

The fact that over 9000 of them didnt bother is inconceivable. I would like to and are bothered but my dad is seriously ill in hospital so surprisingly that is my priority if thats OK as an excuse this weekend Will Hughes Hair and archram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 43 minutes ago, Crewton said: We'll see how many are sold but the policy around giving past S/T holders a large window of exclusivity has been a disaster. That needs to be drastically modified between now and the next home game. I'd shorten the window and if they haven't renewed by the end of September, they should lose the guarantee of the same seat. I agree but has been no mechanism to release the seats as far as I am aware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I do wonder if we have reached a bit of a watershed in our support as I imagine over the recent years we have hung on to a lot of elderly supporters who have been followers since the glory days. Maybe a large proportion of the 70 year old and upwards have now hung up their scarves so to speak. We now need a successful side to reel in more youngsters.

Now we're going to be surrounded by plebs! ? Well at least the older MoodHoovers are sparing you.....they've gone to Suffolk ? Mind, they're so confused by it all they haven’t been claiming their free tickets, as I think they've been going the wrong way through the website and thinking they've had to pay. Father MoodHoover is further complicating matters by now refusing to buy a new season ticket until he knows the ownership. ? angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I waited so i could move I would imagine there is a decent number of us who want to re-locate- looking to do the same with my ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty like me that are just sitting in a different seat for this game and I assume mine has been released today. A crappy ticket process will easily put off about 5000 probable attendees not to mention a virus that still wants to try and kill you. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Who needs the 9000 anyway? Apparently all they do is moan and drag the atmosphere down and spoil things for the true supporters. Rammy03, jimtastic56 and AbuDerbyDave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This assumption that we've lost 9000 season tickets holders isn't necessarily correct, it's quite conceivable that many clicked "BUY" instead of "RESERVATIONS" and selected a different seat, like some people chose to do for the Huddersfield & Boro games.

Will Hughes Hair Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 After my schoolteacher dressing down from @Rev, for being put off attending by the half glass empty musings of @Jourdan, I have had a word with myself this morning and ordered the tickets for me and the boy. This afternoon I bought another ticket for my daughter. With the season ticket discount that worked out at less than thirty quid for all three of us.

Bob Mash Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Out of my Rams social group, roughly 12 of us, 4 haven't/won't renew including me and the other half and we're not attending Saturday. If repeated across the fanbase I cant see more than around 25,000 attending. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 As of 10 mins ago (15:20)... I've since been catching up on here... we now have c.8863 available. So closing in on a 25k gate, as things stand, plus two more days of general sale. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
