DerbyRevolution Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Ambitious said: Impossible to know, and we won't know, until the seats of the people not renewing are released. My last count showed there were 6864 seats unallocated. If you take remove the seats for the away supporters, plus seats used for segregation, you could make the argument there are 30,000 seats available to home supporters which would give a total of 23,136 allocated seats as things stands - allocated seats = new season ticket holders + renewed season tickets + not yet renewed season tickets. I know a large number of people - both new season ticket holders and not yet renewed are waiting on a DD option before purchasing which will lead to the second spike in sales. If that doesn't come before the deadline then it will be interesting to see how many people can't make it. It looks as though there has been a big uptake in new season tickets, someone else who studied the seat map from last season did approximate at 3k upwards early into the process. The number of allocated seats from 7th July to 18th July grew by 1222 so it wouldn't be surprising. I do think a lot comes down to how quickly the club can set up the DD facility. These figures are taken from Birmingham at home last season, we know that game sold out Attendance: 32,211 (Away 3,145). I remember sell outs used to be 33,010 not sure where those seats were lost. So on that basis it is 29,000 home tickets available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially - I thought the official figures for our away allocation was 2700. 29,000 sounds reasonable though, especially as a guide for now.

It's a great game no matter how it's played. ? I agree, But now we're being flooded with yet another format(last season)...The 100, a shorter version of T20 with a change in the rules, The cricketing authority's are now maxing out their opportunity to keep the cash cow machine open, Cricketers are a tool to keep clubs balance sheets in the +. Ben Stokes has realised there's too many games we play now retired from 1 day cricket , It's a 365 day calendar, Our 4 day game(County)seems to be a little inconvenience now and is squeezed between limited over games...rant over. Now...if you've been to the USA(I have)try explaining to a sporting USA citizen that in the UK we play a game called cricket, It lasts 5 days and can end in a draw...they'll think your crackers. Last one, When in Canada a family member got into a debate concerning Cricket and Baseball, The Canadian said a Baseball was harder than a Cricket ball, He had a cricket ball sent over, When seeing and holding his ball ?he agreed it was harder ?

DerbyRevolution Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 There has definitely been some seats removed since away fans went into the corner, hence the new sell out attendance of 32,200 instead of over 33,000. The S on the The Rams in the east stand has changed, part of it is now just white paint on steps whereas before it was all seating. This might be the case for the D on the south stand as well.

SamUltraRam Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Oxford match ticket sales have been fantastic so far In the last 48 hours another 1,000 have been sold, only 3,600 left now Assuming Oxford sell their 2,300 allocation, that's already looking at 27,000 minus non renewals and holiday absentees Let's say 25,000 plus whatever we sell in the next 10 days COYR Premier ram and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see 27k every week. There might be the odd 30k but even Wednesday at home will probably be on Sky as its during the World Cup. A few away clubs will be bringing 500 fans. I suspect the novelty of big clubs in league one will be wearing thin, these fans will have been to Wednesday and Sunderland over the last few years. Add in the cost of living crisis. If we can average 22k that will be great support over the season. Edited July 21, 2022 by DerbyRevolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAmster Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Doing my bit. As per usual I have my RamsTV subscription at £17.50 a month. Having seen one fan pump around £50M into saving the club, the least I can do is put some money in to help the club so, for the first time since I emigrated almost 40 years ago, I am buying a season ticket. I can afford to get over for between 6 and 8 away games and that will cost me between 3 and 4 grand in flights, hotels etc. C'mon Ewe Rams. Back on topic, since we passed the 10K STs sold, there have been no further updates. Are we stuck at around that number? It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the figures aren't rising because, taking inflation and the cost of living into account, many can't buy until the Direct Debit facilities are in place. angieram, Miggins, Crewton and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good man and good luck with getting tickets to 6 - 8 away games. That's some contribution. How many home games do you think you'll make in addition to the away games? Latest update (Wednesday morning) was "nearly 15,000". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicman Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Expect average will be about 23,000 across the season but if we hit top 6 it will increase. Woodley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I think the home attendances this season will be boosted by the fact we won't be live on Sky & there aren't many midweek games, they're mostly Saturday 3pm fixtures. Last season we had 7 scheduled Saturday games shown live on Sky (played Fri/Sat lunch/Sun/Mon) & also had 4 home games played midweek - that often reduces attendances This season we currently have 0 home games on Sky & just 2 to be played midweek. Plus if 2,000 away fans is a target, Oxford, Barnsley, Burton, Lincoln, Bolton, Peterborough, Port Vale, Sheff Wed, Ipswich, Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers & Shrewsbury should bring at least that many, whether it's down to fanbase, location or the 'big day out' factor Edited July 21, 2022 by SamUltraRam Crewton, Ram-Alf and Miggins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
