Be quick, fantastic take up looks like leaving the NS season ticket only according to Derek on the official website

A sell out North Stand sounds great, myself being an owd Goat, I need to sit down, but have bought my Season Ticket a couple of weeks ago for the West Stand, and even then I couldn't get the seats I wanted , they were sold, it's looking good attendance wise for next season, I can't wait.

Got my [iNorth Stand[/i ST very early on as I feared this might happen & didn't want to end up in [iThe Library[/i !!!

It will cause a problem if NS ends up all ST as her indoors is a PAYGO type & won't get in with me.

The Library, very good Ste, I call the North Stand the Moon, I will let you work that one out.

I am hanging on for news of the East Stand.

Must admit, I enjoyed it in the East stand against Batley. Having four bars under the stand made getting a drink a hell of a lot easier than it does in either the North or West stands. The view from the back of the stand is better than the view at the back of the West stand as there are more rows of seats and you are therefore higher up. Plus you get a reet good sun tan in the summer months!

Believe the East should be open for ST sales with the west being reserved seating, certainly the central blocks

Reading Derecks column (which was a facinating read) I better get my finger out and get my S.T. quick if the North Stand is going S.T. only.

(He states 27 in the squad, I counted 28, no idea who is missing)

Good news.

Making the North Stand all Season Ticket has its pitfalls as its does its advantages (such as if a ST holder brings a mate / family member to the odd game) so maybe leave an opportunity for North Stand ST holders to upgrade to West/ East in such circumstances on the day.
The other one is if the North stand is filled up then unless every fan from last season has got a Season Ticket then the likelihood is a lot of new fans have gone for that stand so the atmosphere might not be as good as last season (until they join in), the plus of this is it may work out better across all stands as those fans who can't afford the initial outlay for a North Stand season ticket get scattered around the ground.

Just out of interest anyone know How many does the North stand hold and how many Season tickets have been purchased for that stand as of now?

Either way a nice 'problem' to have with the season a long way off and most people not having bought one as yet especially when you consider the 'will we have a team' or 'will we got 1,500 on to break even' are the problems we've had in previous off seasons.

Hope that's right as the North stand must have a 3500 capacity.

Hope we get Wigan in the Grand Final and Leeds at Wembley.

I've been thinking about this and reading between the lines I think Derek may have pre empted the situation of very few tickets for general sale in the NS on match days so will give existing season ticket holders there first opportunity on them for family etc who don't have a ticket. I know the club allowed swaps/upgrades last year so am confident all will get in the same stand most games if they book early enough

How would folk feel as a Fan if say there are 1000 tickets available after ST sales for the NS and existing ST holders there can purchase these before general sale up to 2 weeks before the game, for the last 2 weeks any left are on general sale with the rest. It seems to cover most scenarios?

Seems logical Mo.The only problem being is Sky rearranging fixtures within that two week window.People will still wait until the last week before purchasing.

They only do that in the 8's I believe plus this is an add on for ST holders to help reduce the risk of splitting family up so the decision is with them
