Not sure how accurate but just been picking my kids season tickets on line and it tells you how many seats are left in each block of the stadium.... I did some simple maths and it looks like about 4500 tickets are not available to be purchased (not including upper tiers of Golf Direct Panasonic and away end.) Dont know if this equates to 4500 sold, but would think it a good guide). Maybe not all the doom and gloom that people are making it out to be.

I did something similar but wondered if it was because seats were still reserved from last year?!

Reserved seats ended September 30th.

Must just be me then. 2250 isn't much better- but at least it's an improvement.

there you go then already higher than the 1800 hearsay... and also many havent yet renewed but are going too before the deadline ends...

positive topic this, cant believe the trolls havent jumped on it yet!! but then again we dont need them when we have our own kicking the giants and paul anderson before the season starts

exactly

So my number from a club official at a community meeting 2 weeks ago is hearsay but a few hundred more isn't? Isn't it all hearsay? i expect people to tell the truth... Silly me.

No Jools, the point is both number come from "club officials" and neither are probably close to accurate. Neither "club official" will actually know the numbers and certainly neither should be bandying them about.

A quick look on the Giants website at the available seats shows that in the Brittannia Stand alone there are 2432 seats taken up, over 1000 on the Media Stand and 2300 in the Direct Golf Stand

so...5700 so far by my reckoning

perhaps the 1800 was for one stand?

Don't forget that sections of the stadium are kept empty for press,advertising and corporate tickets- for instance the section behind the dugouts are reserved for such. I'm not sure why you think the numbers shouldn't be made public- why should it be a secret?

Yes I know that. But a section behind the dugouts doesn't account for the difference between 1800 and 5700

As for keeping them secret there is such a thing as business confidentiality
The moment a business starts being precise about things they hold themselves up to scrutiny and tie their own hands in regards to marketing

But yet we keep being told if we want to know something we only have to ask......
I really do hope you are right and the figure is nearer 6000, lets hope we have a flying season that gets the fans flocking in.
Talking to a couple today one is Wigan fan one saints (kids split too-bet that gets tasty on derby day!) she is a Wigan fan and wasn't too confident about their season-reckons they may struggle to get in top four she feels they have a good pack but inexperienced half back pairing and reckons teams will close down Sam and they will struggle. He was more confident that saints would have a good season building on last year. I think we have strengthened well and providing the players don't bottle out this year we could do well.
