It'll be interesting to see what the take-up on these are given we've already sold 674 across the club 500 and early bird offerings, which if I'm not mistaken is around the total amount we've sold in the previous 3 seasons.

If we can manage another couple of hundred it will put us in a great position although not sure how feasible that will be, especially with the news that we'll be starting the season at HP

Not surprised the on the gate price has risen to £10, happy with that and it will mean having to carry a lot less change at the gate!!

Another 130 Child Tickets purchased/given via the 500 Club offer, so if I am reading this right in theory we have currently 757 ST Holders for next season.

If we can get the other 243 or more and push us past the 1k figure that would be great but can't see it currently.

I think pretty much everybody who has bought a ticket will have got one by now.

We will sell a few more - for example those that couldn't afford it at the time and who might benefit from the 2 installments offer, but we won't sell near 243 being realistic. Maybe another 50-75 if we're lucky.

I think we'll have done well to end up on 700 (+130 = 830)

It'll be interesting to see how many we sell next close season.

Expected a tenner, it's a fair enough price for the level, and with 23 matches to play it's a little bit more income for the club.

I'm especially pleased that the concession rate has gone up to £7, because really £6 was too cheap now we know that half of our gate is concessions. I'd also guess that a good proportion of concessions (the ones that are 60+) are more financially secure than many of the full paying adults, so it's always seemed a bit bizarre to me that concessions pay buttons to get in.

An increase of £1 on last season is more than fair.

It also saves a mess on for the turnstile operators having to hand out change every two minutes.

£10 that's fair, given we've gone up a division. I'm one of those that asked for a child ST as part of my 5 year ST, but I doubt that will be used for more than half our home games and I suspect quite a few will have got the child ST on the off chance that one of their child or grandchildren might want to go to the odd game. Certainly the 500 club represented a good deal, when you now multiply the new ST charge of £210, against the £875 we paid for 5 years.

That's brilliant just think how much we will be making when we get back to the town @£10 and £6 and £4 ... More money for the club with between 1500/2000 PAYING supporters!!!!! Great work

I just want to comment on the article and say that it's very well written and very informative. It answers a lot of questions that people have been asking and a lot of credit should go to Martin and Dave

Seems reasonable considering the standard should be better

Yeah the first full/definite season at BM will be a test to see where our fan base is.

Very interested to see how our attendances do next season, especially the moving back to Darlo element.

Yeah they will because we can easily fill it especially when we go up the leagues... We are a well supported club we took over 20000 to Wembley so filling BM will be a doddle.... Come on Darlo
