| So how many season tickets exactly have been sold? It was apparently 1140 a month ago and i've read that a few have renewed since? Will everything thats happened since mid august I would be seriously worried that we are not going to get near the 3000, let alone above that to improve the team. The floating fans, the ones who jumped on board the cheap tickets, aren't going to buy them at full price on the back of a reduced quality playing roster. I fear for our future.

| Quote mwildcats="mwildcats"Big message is.
The quality of the squad is dependant on number of season tickets
Basically if your waiting to see who we sign or who we sell to buy your season ticket then you will see players sold
If you want to retain what we have then you have to get your season tickets, club 1873, foxy bingo
Chicken & egg scenario
But which one are you?!'"
This is why i can't believe why so many people were hesitant in buying season tickets.
Someone posted about buying cheap tickets then selling players. This happened because not enough people took up the offer due to negativity.
We are now in the run up to Christmas, the shat has hit the fan and people are now prepared to do that bit extra for the club.
Chicken or egg? Vicious circle?
It was £150, you would pay that for a family of 4 for 1 game at Leeds Utd.

| Quote Wakeylad21="Wakeylad21"How many people were calling for the club to have a shop in town to raise the profile of the club about 18months ago.
Now it's a really bad idea and we should go back to the ground. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
The problem is a lot of fans want champagne but only earn beer money.'"
Still in favour of the shop being in the city centre, gives us a presence and it must make it easier to sell tickets rather than having to traipse to Belle Vue. If they employed too many staff to run it in the past, that doesn't mean the idea is a failure, just the execution.

Thanks for the positivity that you have added to. I felt from the meeting that we were moving in a forward direction

| Quote Fordy="Fordy"People hanging back on renewing season tickets to see who will stay and who will be sold are likely to be the cause of players having to be sold. Chicken and egg - wait and see and lose players, show some faith and renew and we can retain and add to the currently contracted players.'"
I reckon most fans normally renew their season tickets round Christmas time, when they've managed to save a few bob after paying for their summer hols. It's part of the cycle of life. Couple of quid a week for the lottery may be in it, though.

| I have to say the negativity from a few of the audience was shocking. The old man at the back who was getting told to shut up being the worst. I came away thinking things will be tough but the future could be great if the supporters back the new board to the hilt. Juniors starting to have structure and will be a long term pay off, Newmarket is really close but will be made so much easier if we are in SL and the guy won't let the club go bust as there are 2 houses riding on it.

| Well, what a great night.
It just shows that honesty really is the best policy. The atmosphere and conversations before the meeting were very negative. However, it was the complete opposite on the way out. MC is a very good friend of mine and has been for nearly 20 years. What I told my mates going into tonight's meeting would be the fact that he won't hold back - no matter how bleak - we will get the truth and I think all of those who attended tonight will agree that's exactly what we got. Every question was answered fully and honestly. We now know exactly where we stand and it's down to us as loyal supporters to back the new board as much as we possibly can. They are working tirelessly on trying to attract new investors, sponsors and other cost cutting exercises. What they need from us is our continued support and from the numbers there tonight it's obvious what this club means to us.
The areas where we all need to pull together have already been highlighted on this thread so come on everyone. There was a real buzz about the place tonight so lets keep it going.
We have the right people in charge - it's down to us to back them and make this work.

A little more than your quoted number - and that is all!

Apologies for that - we did get one set up after about 15 minutes or so!

Thats what worries me, i would have expected at least double that by now. If they wait and see til xmas to renew then we will have sold more players by then to pay the bills. Then they probably won't bother. Its that vicious circle again. I've a feeling some of the 'newbies' were there for a good time, not a long time. Its going to take some innovative marketing to get the all to sign back up, and sign up now.

Don't you think this is why MC has said JE has a part to play in the club?
