Don't get me started on the Harry Potter theme.

Apart from being kitsch and "sooo last year", it's also incredibly dangerous ground with regards to infringement of copyright. I'm not sure our legal track record would enable us to take on JK Rowling

Your missus is clearly a lady of distinction Adey, I grew up in Wrose, kinda miss it now I don't live in Bradford. Nothing to do with the thread but I can't remember seeing Wrose talked about in any sense what so ever on t'internet....for good reasons probably!

...as you were'"

On the T&A website today that we have sold 4,500 season tickets so far, something like 150% more than this time last year.

but that figure presumably includes juniors who didnt count towards pledge total as well. Thing that slightly worries me is that people who have pledged are now sat waiting for club to contact them for payment not realising that they now have to buy tickets themselves. Unless clubs planning on a mailshot to pledgee's in next week or something.

just paid for my tickets this morning,quite busy in the office

A logical point Mat. People in the modern era are becoming increasingly lazy and adore being spoon fed. As to how many will actually now go complete the purchase is another matter. One would hope/assume it has all been factored in to the original logistical planning.

Dumbledore will no doubt have it in hand.

Ever since the Pledge came out, we've had a string of worried heads agonising over whether the Bulls had done this, or overlooked that, or thought of the other, or planned for X, or realised Y.

From how it's gone so far, I really don't think any of us need to worry our heads about it, they seem to have been on top of it from the beginning.

Paid for mine yesterday, I had £75 worth of points so a family season ticket cost me £115! How good is that?

paid for mine yesterday and margaret for office phoned me up within 2 mins.

Alot of people will probs wait for payday on either monday or wednesday.

As with the pledges themselves, don't underestimate people's ability to leave stuff until the last minute. Expect a mad rush on 12th November.

Am I the only one disappointed with the current level of actual sales? The pledge period ended with total pledges of around 11,200. We’ve sold 4,500 season tickets in the following 18 days, leaving just 20 days to sell a further 6,700. I’m sure they’ll be a last minute rush, but 6,700 is surely a tall order.
