Fair old run that, coach sounds a good idea I go Cleveleys to Barrow for a coaching gig on a midweek night all year round, takes a bit of doing in depths of Winter.

March 21, 20251 yr 13.5k now Won't be far off 14k by the end of Early Bird Edited March 21, 20251 yr by jmjhb

March 21, 20251 yr Weather we sell as many as last season, we will see. I reckon we will sell before August. 16,000 is amazing, especially when you consider our Championship neighbours, Rovers, only sold 4,000 last season and are worried they might sell less this time round.

I think it’s going to be close but perhaps people are waiting until they know what division we’re in. Another season in L1 might put some off (same old same old) but more might be tempted by Championship football at these prices (for a bit at least). 13000 is still a good effort for L1 but because we set a high bar last season that’s now what we all expect.
March 22, 20251 yr Surprised the club haven't extended the early bird deadline like they have in previous seasons. 70 day window last season, only a 26 day window this season. Can't help feeling the club have missed a trick by not extending at least till people get paid at the end of this month. 1pm deadline today Edited March 22, 20251 yr by Burndens Bogs

Can't help feeling the club have missed a trick by not extending at least till people get paid at the end of this month. 1pm deadline today I agree re the end of the month point, but actually when you look at the numbers I think we’ll have got most of those that were going to sign up anyway. 15.3k early bird last year and we’re pretty much on course to have 14k this year. Less than 10% drop off which when you consider the league positions I think is about right / expected. Alien concept to most of us who would buy regardless, but there will be a small proportion that aren’t as bothered and will be swayed by the chances of being in a higher league - which is clearly less likely this year than last.
March 22, 20251 yr Lot more than I expected not only league position but silly kick off times and games on Sky thought might affect the numbers.
March 22, 20251 yr So probably 5-6% down on last year, assuming a couple of hundred more before the deadline. And probably just shy of 16k by the time the season begins. Amazing numbers for what is more than likely to be our 5th consecutive season in the 3rd tier!
