Was a bit disappointed by the number of people who cleared off after the final whistle but guess that's the flip side of attracting more casual fans.
Gates are up more due to the fictitious reporting than anything else.

I thought the amount that hung around for the lap of honour was pretty decent, although I cleared off after that so no idea about the attendance for the speeches or whatever went on after that.
Someone on FB took pictures of the empty seats in the ground yesterday, probably around 2-300, from another ‘sold out’ match.
I know of people who wanted to go yesterday but couldn’t get a ticket, I guess it was down to season ticket holders who didn’t put their seats on the Exchange scheme.

North stand is awful for it. Phantom kids clearly an issue that isn't getting sorted for next season. West and south stands looked pretty packed. Oddly whole rows in the east were completely empty. Do we still have a cap on how many tickets we can sell there?

Would you like to know where we are going to finish next season as well, before making a decisions as well.....

A truly pointless statement
Look back to all the numerous posters who made the exact same point as me,
Lots of fans were pi$$ed off at the Saturday games that were moved to Tuesday nights,
Maybe it didn’t affect fans like you, if so, lucky you :clown
Its not what you have pointed out its the statement you made. We will never know what dates will be affected. The fixtures don't get published for months and I'm not sure England know when they are home/away for some games. Finally, we (probably) lose one of our full internationals whilst two loanee internationals go back - meaning we won't be so concerned about that if we are still in L1. If we do go up then we will have more midweek games - but we should be seeing better football.

Nothing to do with phantom kids. It’s the KO time. My two grandkids could not attend because of school sport in the morning

But presumably you put them up for sale on the ticket exchange?

Any kid choosing a school game over a play off decider doesn’t deserve a ST anyway.

Is their still not the problem in the East where they can't sell a batch of the seats for safety reasons.

I've just noticed that the reduced kids prices (U11 £62, U18 £125) apply to the West Side as well, which I didn't think was the case previously, so I'd be looking to get one in there.

If the unthinkable actually happens and we get promoted, I think the owners will regret going early and selling the season tickets at league one prices.

I’d have expected to pay a fair bit more for mine if it was in the championship

Will only commit if we’re in the championship and Gandler has promised a £50m war chest.

But it isn't that low. Over 4000. Don't you remember loads saying not renewing due to lack of 3.00pm kick offs, Seems as if they have decided to renew

Not necessarily, Mark Devlin on X mentioned that there have been a healthy number of new SC holders.

So if there were more than 4,500 STs sold this season, there’s a cap of 4,500 this season, and new STs are being sold, it’s possible you’ll be told you can’t renew next season? Blimey.

Again, Mark Devlin confirmed that they've increased the cap.

Up until the renewal deadline, no one has to worry about being turned away, bu like any season and what happened to someone who sat close to me, if you don't renew before the renewal deadline then the seat is up for general sale and can and will be taken by someone else.
