lets hit 15k, is that season ticket pledges or points conceded in a season

Clearly it's season ticket pledges, given that we're now nearly up to 3 pages discussing just that very thing. It's bad enough enduring the poor performances on the pitch, but there's been a markedly large drop in the quality of trolling on here.

Got 4 Season Tickets today at guaranteed max price (with refund if more than 12000 pledges recd), plus son and daughter have 5 year deals. So thats 5.5 pledges (incl one junior) to add to list. Get in there!

The floaters paying a fiver a match with this seasons pledge purchase expected us to get into the top four and a wembley final and feel they have somehow been cheated out of £60 even though you couldn't get into Dudley Hill for that price. I have pledged even though I might only be able to make five home games next season! I think a realistic season ticket price should have been around £150 and offer credit to those struggling to find the money in one go!

I would be pretty confident of getting a similar number to last season as its still a really good deal. I would have thought we'd captured everyone who wanted a ticket last season and without improving on the pitch can't see where more fans are coming from to make any talk of 15K anything but dreams.

Would be interested to know what the actual number of bought season tickets was last year. We know the pledge total but not how many bought and how many ended up buying who didn't pledge once they knew it was £60. If that was around 12K then I think with the changing of the counting on juniors, we'll make it.

I've bought 1, with all the talk on here though I'm feeling inadequate and may go and adopt some kids and buy some more!

I would just stick with adopting the kids rather than buying them

Is that not the done thing then? I got the wife on mail order, nobody seemed bothered about that?

Jeez get a grip
i've been watching the same dross you have for the last 3 years aswell, at least let me have a bit of fun at the teams expense. Flaming nora for a minute i didnt know if i was on stanningly by-pass or sense of humour by-pass

Bought mine online this morning. Assuming they will deliver, certainly reads that way.

Can't knock it for £75.

Bought 4 Season Tickets today at guaranteed max price, with refund if over 12000 pledges.Kids have 5 year deals so thats 5.5 pledges from us (incl a junior). Only way to get us back up there is to support,support,support. I want to see us back in top 4,competing again to get to OT. Prices are very good again for 2012. Dig deep people.

hey hey hey, don't try and turn this round on me. your trolling is of a poor standard. it's at a level below that which we should be getting if we want to be an SL force once again.

this has been the problem since mcnamara took over, we've had quality trolls leave the sight and be replaced with trolls from the lower end of the table and trolling performances on this board have suffered because of it.

You will know which games. If you have been attending games. Just because they annouce all season ticket holders, we all know 1000 's were not there.

But the announced figures are fact. Unless you physically went round and counted up every single person there's no way to disprove the announced figure

So this means at least 3/4 thousand have already pledged + non members of last year.

Do you understand how forum threads work? I'm no expert but I think that if you have a comment to add to an existing topic then you can add it to the end of the relevant thread rather than starting a new one every time. We now have several on this topic and if I'm not mistaken, there is one called 'current pledge numbers' which was also started by someone called terrace singer. I think it would have been ok to add your new comment to that.

And the reason you didn't just add this to the end of your "Current pledge numbers" thread is ....?

The main reason I mention this is because I commented on the statement from the club yesterday lunch time, but I can't remember which thread it was on because some sprout keeps starting new threads on the same topic. I can't be d reading through them all.

I think I'll start a new thread so I know where I am.

My point entirely, have your own thread, you know where you are with your own thread

Ok. A friend baught a season ticket but has not steped foot in odsal once. Has he been put on the official attendence this season and if so is that not incorrect reporting of a match day attendence?

depends on the definition of "match day attendance" according to HMRC. Your opinion on what attendance is doesn't matter a jot.

IMO the attendance figure is "paid attendance" for the game, matters not if you bought last year and threw it away never intending to step foot in Odsal, or paid the week before and left in the first 10 min, or if you paid cash on the gate and stayed until the bitter bitter end, its all attendance paid for the game and it all counts as income as far as the club is concerned for that fixture and its all announced.

If no one turned up to the next home game (surely not

) they could still announce the [ipaid [/iattendance as 11,000+ ...because it is, the ticket holder choosing to take up the option and the actual number of people stood on the terrace is another matter entirely.


BTW if the club hit 15k it will be astounding and a far bigger acheivement than last year, the players on the pitch need to step up and do their bit in these next 3 games to at least show some positive signs for people who might be waivering and help fix some of the damage the second half performance straight after the pledge announcement may have done.

agree. 15k would be amazing. plus it would get me £40 back so I would be very happy!

It would be nice if the club could announce a foot fall figure. People who actually attended the game. I have no doubt that the club know this figure but I'm not sure what they gain by announcing it. Seeing as they don't announce it, it would seem the club agree.

Correct, it will only ever be lower than the paid attendance so it makes no sence as the only people to benefit from such an announcement would be people looking for bad news or spin to run the club down. HMRC only want to know who paid, and the sponsors want to know how many their message is potentially getting to and its in the clubs interest to announce the higher figure, so you're 100% right, a lower footfall figure announcement gains nothing.

It would be £20 back for me, but still good. I can see 12,000 being doable, but I stuggle to see how we get an extra 3000 with whats been happening on the pitch...hope I'm wrong.

Please develop a new line of attack, you are not very good at this one
