Sold our original allocation of 650 for Swindon, should be fun.

2,100 sold for Notts at the weekend. 304 tickets remaining - I think we’ll sell out.

Ooh that was lucky then I took my lad for his ticket just after 2pm looks like he got one of the last ones.

Wondering how much attendances will drop off next season with the realisation of kick-off times and wider availability of games on the box , that will be the acid test for me when the ST prices rise for the amount of games people will miss ; it's already looking clearer to me it was a bad deal for most clubs this sky one 150k more in tv monies but that could be wiped out and well more next season with the drop off in ST revenue alone for a lot of clubs i reckon .

I agree. Another issues with, say 12.30 kick offs on a Saturday is a significant drop in hospitality income. Rather than ( at Grimsby) early afternoon haddock and chips, they probably have to do a 10.30/11am sausage sandwich but charge 25% of the price. Also not enough drinking time at the ground pre match for the rank and file.

Switching games to Thursday evening bring different issues, but still reduced income

Good point - I hadn't even thought about the loss of hospitality revenue but it's spot on. Fewer takers and lower spend - double whammy. 3pm ko and you can get people to hang around after as well. A game finishing at 2.30 they'll feck off home.

A.F.C. Wombles have allocated us 1,319 for our trip to the capital in Feb.

Seems higher than normal, but at £26 a ticket, I doubt we’ll sell out.

2,100 sold for Notts at the weekend. 304 tickets remaining - I think we’ll sell out.

That will guarantee another 10,000+ crowd at the Lane despite little joy for the Pies in recent times.
