[Youpies]

We never really do the season ticket update. I think it will be our standard 4k ish mark

That’ll do, would be nice to be over 4000. Sadly I won’t be one of them for 2018/19

94% renewal rate and almost 6,000 season tickets sold, lovely jubbly

Was expecting a bit of a surge today with it being the first day of general sales but not 600. More than last season already.

Can't be far off the 'cap' can we? Don't you have to leave 'x'% of tickets for home areas every game?

 

[Davidimp]

94% renewal comes to 5333, plus over 600 today so we are approaching 6000.

Unbelievable total, really is!
Two years ago we sold 1200.

So how long do you reckon the club has to get promoted before the euphoria of getting to L2 wears off? There’s only so much shelf life being in the basement - as we may well find out if we’re not careful.

 

[WhiteRussian]

£396 for a season ticket where I normally sit. I'm just going to have to pick and choose my matches. That is bloody ridiculous for div 4.

That’s one of the very few benefits of dropping into non league football#stain

£33 per month for best seats in the house? A bargain.

You could always save £40 by moving a couple of blocks and out of the Premium seating.

I was told yesterday by a Stags fan at work that Mansfield had sold about 1200 season tickets as of last week!

That can’t be right surely Stags fans???

 

[Hurrikeen]

We've sold around 2,900 STs, which is 500 up on this time last year.

Strange bunch we are.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

See we have a story up saying record sales but not giving an actual figure (up from 3 to 7 ) so who knows how many? https://www.forestgreenroversfc.com...-sales-announced-ahead-of-fixture-release-day
Back abroad now so I haven't renewed.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Nothing from Notts either, maybe it’s a slightly disappointing figure

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Wow! That surely isnt the norm Conks? Even for Mansfield that sounds really low!

I have been wondering this too, after spending nearly two decades in the division below, though to be fair we are concentrating hard on trying not to go back down again. There was certainly a novelty last season of playing teams like Coventry and Swindon, in league games, though we had faced many other teams in the division while they were in the Conference. The second season will be different, though I have heard from others that it can be more challenging than the first, but I still expect it to be a struggle...looking at our fixtures yesterday I still thought "blimey, this isn't going to be easy!"

Despite some rubbishing the size of our club, saying we don't belong here, our support has grown significantly in the last four or five years. Most of those people will only have watched a fairly successful club, winning regularly and making the play-offs, I wonder if they are the ones who will get bored if we don't challenge for promotion any time soon. Whatever happens, I'm not going anywhere.

 

[The_Boss]

We'll have a lower average attendance than most clubs have season ticket holders!!!

Perspective is a strange thing. I look at the fixture list and think we should win all these. Obviously we won’t but another season floundering around in the nether regions will probably knock that nonsense out of me!

Very true, but a few years ago our teams met in an FA Cup fixture and our fans considered it a big day out...yes I know it was Swindon, not a trip to Anfield or the Emirates, but at the time it really was...I don't think back then many fans of either team thought we would face each other in the Football League, but we are. I guess the perspective depends whether you view being in League Two as "how low have we sunk" or "how high have we risen"?

 

[Indian Dan]

It’s been seen as somehow inevitable for the last 3 years or so. There were/are some who think we may fall further yet - I’m not one of them, mind. We weren’t a million miles away last season with more than a handful of poor players and a long lasting injury list. The hope is that this season won’t need huge improvement to at least make the play offs.

Yep I remember after a few years in non league we got Port Vale away in the FA Cup and I was genuinely excited for it, just getting to play a proper league club again at a biggish (relatively speaking) ground and we had a cracking day out there.
Then yesterday the fixtures come out and I look at Port Vale away on Boxing Day and think to myself what a load of shit!

 

[Guernica]

Almost 6,200 season tickets sold, going off sale July 3rd.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

It’s almost as if Lincoln as a city have discovered Football in the last few years

 

[Guernica]

Zeppelin's next!

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Notts chairman has done a flash sale on Season Ticket prices , because of England’s 6-1 victory against football heavyweights Panama

Any excuse for Big Al to make a generous offer to sell more tickets. Without going into details it’s basically once again extending the early bird offer. Sounds desperate! Sounds like poor ticket sales to date? Yet he reports ST sales are 35% up on last season

 

[Davidimp]

68 season tickets left before we close sales on Tuesday.

We used to get half decent crowds in 00s 4500-5500 regularly with a few 8000+ crowds but this is very odd getting nearly 9000 every game.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

It’s worlds apart David, it’s double! It’s veey impressive.

Like I said it’s as if the city of Lincoln and surrounding areas have only just discovered Football. And in the 4th tier lol

Tis indeed, certainly tapped into newcomers coming to the area and families. Never seen so many families at games as I have in the last two years.

Well you have to pay for all those high earners....

 

[denzel ecfc]

We've sold 1500 so far which apparently is more than last season
