OldNick Posted 9 June, 2009 Share Posted 9 June, 2009 I don't wish to be scornful of this poll but, as it is just an expression of opinion as to whether crowds will increase, decrease, or stay roughly the same, exactly how is it useful? Of course, the prospective new owners may well be interested to hear whether or not individuals are more or less likely to attend next season, but in order for that data to be useful it would need to be more specific than this current poll is likely to establish. However, a poll which asked the following would be considerably more useful but, unfortunately, I am not allowed to create new threads. Which of these best describes your recent and anticipated attendance at St Mary's? 1) I was a season ticket holder last season and I DO expect to renew that season ticket for the new season. 2) I was a season ticket holder last season but I DO NOT expect to renew that season ticket for the new season. However, I am likely to attend more than 8 home games on a casual basis. 3) I was a season ticket holder last season but I DO NOT expect to renew that season ticket for the new season and I am UNLIKELY to attend more than 8 home games on a casual basis. 4) I was NOT a season ticket holder last season but I DO expect to purchase a season ticket for the new season. 5) I was NOT a season ticket holder last season and I DO NOT expect to purchase a season ticket for the new season. However, I am likely to attend more home games on a casual basis than I did last season. 6) I was NOT a season ticket holder last season and I DO NOT expect to purchase a season ticket for the new season, but I am UNLIKELY to attend more home games on a casual basis than I did last season.

NSS Posted 9 June, 2009 Share Posted 9 June, 2009 for such market research as that I do hope the new owners would be willing to make a handsome donation to our favourite forum in return. Anyway by studying the "how much would you donate to save our club" thread , first and second version you might notice vast discrepancies in the responses once you have to virtually sign your name to your response. This is not an 'official' request, merely something that I believe would be of interest. I appreciate that data from any poll on such a forum will contain a degree of skewed data, but this can be allowed for. The fact is, with one vote only per registered user, the hope would be that the vast majority would give a realistic indication of their intentions. I appreciate that, for some at least, their answer will be price dependant, but I cannot give you a steer on what ST or Matchday Ticket prices will be, other than to say I would expect them to be in line with what most supporters expectations are likely to be for League 1. Unfortunately, this is my last permitted post today so I cannot reply to any further queries until a similar time tomorrow. However, certain posters (Weston Saint, Saint Lindford, Frank's Cousin) do know how to contact me if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that would be a fine investment for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted 9 June, 2009 Share Posted 9 June, 2009 Well considering vitually all of the 10 or so mates I used to stand at the back of the Northam with 4/5 years ago, whose support wained during our Lowe point, have said they are now can't wait to their grubby mits on STs, I beg to differ Rich. A lot of fans I personally spoke with refused to fund Rupert's maligned cabal, I think there was even a forum especially for us As one of them i can vouch for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 9 June, 2009 Share Posted 9 June, 2009 It depends on a number of things. The teams performance will be a large factor. Though I feel for a lot of fans who decided to stop going may got into a bit of a habit, so many of them might not get back to going too often. Therefore I think they will be around the same.

OldNick Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 a lot depends on who is the new wner, who he appoints as manager and if we actually look as though we might do someting.If it is Tisdale and a few unknown (to us) signngs then the gates are going to be disappointing.Im not saying that scenario wil be wrong for us but to the average plastic it means a lot.

NSS Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Pay your fiver you tight G1t ;-) Sorry, as good as this forum seems to be, it just doesn't seem right to me for a Pompey fan to be contributing to the running costs of a Saints forum. If that makes me a tight G1t in your eyes, then so be it, but would you cough a fiver to post on a Pompey forum? No, I thought not. Anyway, it appears nobody is prepared to post my suggested poll as a new thread (and yes, I do appreciate that some 'plastics' will be swayed by such decisions as new manager, new players, how well the team is performing, etc.) but I just figured that such a poll may give the new owner and his team a better feel for how fans may respond next season than the poll options in this thread. You never know, they may be considering season ticket and match day ticket prices as we speak. Having some evidence of fans' intentions may help them decide what a fair price may be.
