Would hope we break 4k today and are on course to break 5k by the end of the long weekend

Impossible to say what would be a good figure at this stage without knowing how many pledges have been received from the more casual supporter that isnt currently a season tocket holder, as opposed to the hardcore following that would have renewed their season tickets anyway.

3843 the total stands at. we need more!!!!!!!

6157 more to be exact

This is probably the first time I've actually had doubts about the 10k being reached in time. Really thought we'd have more than that by now.

The pledge total is now on to 3,843.

There were (officially) over 7k at Odsal against Wakefield. If you are VERY kind there were 1000 Wakefield fans. So that leaves 6k who chose to go to watch a team who have lost 12 on the spin. Surely they would all be in the brackets of a) a season ticket holder who will renew, or b) mad enough to pay £18 to watch the game (I am in the b bracket by the way).

Ok, some of those would be kids, but I'm aware of quite a few people who didn't go to the game who have pledged so hopefully they are just smoothing out the numbers so that when it actually goes quiet, they can continue to make it look as though there is a constant growth.

Don't underestimate the lazyness of people, I fully intend to pledge (probably this weekend TBF) but just have not got round to filling in the form yet, even though its in my sig!! I'm guessing Im not the only one to just not get round to it yet...... In fact sod this weekend, im off to do it now.



.#edit#...done,

we currently need 166 pledges per day.our current rate is well above this at 770.i think the club will drip feed the figures through anyway to keep interest going as more new signings are revealed.

except that isnt the current rate. the current rate is about 300-350 a day. Your averaging it over the entire pledge period which is built up by the initial high take up at the match on sunday. a truer daily figure is found by taking the average from when the counter started on tuesday (2700) and taking the avergae since then which shows a daily increase of between 300 and 400. think figures are being massaged a little by club so we show a steady growth each day. be interesting to to see how figure increases each day over bank holiday weekend for instance when you wouldnt expect anyone to be there taking pledges after saturday lunchtime. suspect we are actually a bit ahead of the 3843 but club are drip feeding the true figure to give them something to announce saturday,sunday and monday. then I'd expect another signing announcement tuesday/wednesday to keep interest up. considering we're over a third of the way to the total well within the first 5 days Im relatively confident we'll make it. A biggish signing wouldnt hurt mind.

it doesnt matter when the counter started it is the average from when the scheme started,sunday afternoon,till now.

thats the point, your using a biased average as the initial data was artificially high due to the high daily sign up at the scheme start on sunday. the true daily sign up rate is no where near the 770 Average you used. the incremental amount the counter goes up by each day is a better clue as to the daily rate, although as I stated I would trust it 100% as suspect club will be tweaking it a bit to ensure a steady rise.
