Nexstar Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 It was 14th June last year. According to this anyway; http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2062493,00.html Was earlier than that, I renewed on the 12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 Was earlier than that, I renewed on the 12th Correct, I actually just read the article I posted and they said ST holders could renew from the 1st June.

Saints foreva Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 I see Block 43 isn't apart of the away section, are we making the away allocation smaller at SMS or has block 43 always been like that on the seating plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 Block 43 only goes to away fans for cup games Wrong, if an away side were to take a full allocation for a league game they would have Blocks 43 to 48, which is approx 3,200 (10% of capacity). For Cup games they can be given Block 42 (or part of) which takes it up to the 15% of capacity allowed for away fans for cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no "saving", as I was paying off interest charges on the loan I took out for last year's ST with the money I would have been saving. So that makes no difference to me. I'm prepared to try and find money earlier to get instalments back though as that's much more convenient. Of course the other thing is the lingering doubt that we'll have STs at all, so I'd rather hear the news sooner rather than later one way or another...

It's not about wanting to "pay out money early", but it would be nice for the club to do what pretty much every other club in the country does and bother to keep supporters informed of what is happening, will I be paying £350/£400/£450 etc, will I be paying it in May (well obviously not now), June, July or across a period of time.....Some people are clearly not effected by such things, but it would be handy to at least be told what to expect, I don't think that is having particularly high expectations of the club is it?

Wrong. Not even Cortese would expect top whack before he can guarantee a full house. Competition for spaces it's called. My guess is it won't be a blanket increase of 20% but a variable rate depending on position and seat cost, say 25/30% on higher value tickets and maybe only 10/15% on lower value tickets. That way you don't lose those least able to pay and the rich bastards can subsidise the poor. It's called being decent and democratic if you're poor and soaking withe **** if you're rich.

And as for not charging top whack unless you have got a full house, both QPR and Leeds seem to be realising that a full house is not necessarily the main priority for optimising gate receipts, but rinsing out as much cash as you can from the hardcore supporters that unfortunately will pay anything they have to in order to watch their side.

um pahars Posted 1 June, 2011 Share Posted 1 June, 2011 I had a look at championship clubs the other day and couldn't find one that didn't. I know where your tongue is stuck Turkish LOL!!!!! And having taken that on board I have to say that my thoughts here is not how quickly can I part with my money (which as you say goes against the norm), but instead perhaps thinking what this delay will have on season ticket take ups and the related knock ons in terms of attendances and revenue generated (although there's also a dash of intrigue and anticipation as to what the prices will be). I certainly want to see my Club play in the biggest attendances possible and I just can't help but think that this delay might have an impact on that. I'm sure blazing football and a winning start will attract the punters, but also feel that season tickets underpin attendances and we should be doing all we can to attract people to part with their money. The Club may spring something sensational on us, but I can't help but think that we should have been trading off the euphoria of promotion and giving people every chance to get regular bums on seats.

How much will effect will this supposed delay have on season ticket sales? None. Are people really going to refuse to renew or decided in August not to bother this season because season tickets didn't go on sale until two weeks after the rest of the division. People will still get them and still go. Look at you all on here, like a pack of blood thirsty hounds desperately waiting for even a snippet of information from our wonder chairman as to when you can give him your cash. I think it's a lovely gesture from our Nicky to let you keep you pennies in the bank for as long as possible and generating interest on them or giving those who need it more time to save for it. It terms of gestures of goodwill from Super Nicky it's up there with the message on the barriers in the car park wishing you to "have a nice day" as you drive off, you never used to get that off of the miserable stewards who used to man the gate. This club is progressing everday and i see this as more evidence to support this. Edited 1 June, 2011 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to The Future (1977) and £10.00 season tickets Prehaps, dont forget, according to Hypo's mate inside the club we have "too much money" maybe paying fans to go to games is Super Nickys way of getting rid of some of it? On another note i think the cost of the season ticket is worth it just to see Jonno Quick, average of a goal per start is phenominal and a better goal to game ratio than Messi. I am looking forward to seeing Jonno Quick tear the championship apart next season, with his lightening speed and incredible strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
