After the surge of interest last season... the current malaise is disappointing... I don't buy the sky scheduling thing... if you want to do something, then you make the effort and DO IT!...

ah but I can now stay at home with a mug of cocoa and watch from my armchair... or meet my mates at the pub and watch the game free. That's the real reason.

the only way to counter that is the equivalent of Bull Mania where people want to be at the venue... ME did that really well at the Grand Final.

I still think we will have well over 4000 members by the start of the season... but that could well blow out as the excitement builds.

I appreciate it would be nice to sell zillions of season tickets, but let's not get too hung up about it. What's more important is how many people we actually get at all the games (whether that's advance purchase season tickets, or match day ticket sales). Clubs obviously like to have the money in advance, but match day tickets bring in more revenue.

As others have suggested, there's still plenty of time for sales to increase. Christmas pressies, anyone? And once the provisional fixture list is known, I think more people will buy season tickets. As I said earlier, you have to remember that season tickets this last season were at almost give-away prices, so it's no surprise they haven't (yet) matched those numbers.

(I live too far away to go to anywhere near all the games, but I'll get to many as I can.)

What's the difference so long as they turn up on the day.
