Adams NOT bringing the crowds back?









I dont think I wll be too well liked if my 2 questions at the fans forum are:

"Who's decision was it to let Dean Wilkins decide the future of the 10 released players, and make him tell them they were unemployed, when it was quite clear that the wheels were in motion to get rid of the man himself"

and

"How many season tickets have we sold this year, and is it down on last season?"

Brett, can I suggest for your second question you soften the accusatory nature of it a bit and ask "How many season tickets have been sold so far, and how does that compare to last season?"

Or someone on Northstandchat said the Argus has made up the story about season ticket sales?

One of them is telling porkies and I can't sleep until I find out the truth.

Well I've been told we've sold over 5000..

Well, there you go then! I'm only going by what i've been told, from a usually reliable source. Wouldn't be the first time he's been wrong though.


Either way, it seems hard to believe that a change of manager and 4 new players, one of whom is a previous player, could bring in 2000 more people, with 1500 of those paying full price.

IF that's true, then perhaps it does show the unpopularity of Wilkins!:D

Or the popularity of Adams???

That and the definate YES decision for the stadium and the new players have probably helped a small amount too

I doubt the 'YES' vote will make much difference to be honest, we're still talking about YEARS in the FUTURE.

Two years isn't that long to wait

I know a couple of people who are getting season tickets for the first time this season so they can make sure they get a good seat in the new ground!!

As WW says im not sure the yes makes much of a difference. New players have probably helped though as have the U21 season tickets.

Brett,
This is good advice from KSA; there's no point in being seen as antagonistic. From memory, I think there were 3092 Gold members (= STH's) last season; the figures are on Ask the Club somewhere but I cant find Insiders post at the minute.

I think pretty much every year the club says season ticket sales look like being up.

Don't see why they would suddenly change tactic in the year the sacked a decent manager to try and tempt people back...

I expect attendances to be roughly the same if not lower - especially if we don't start well. Withdean fatigue and a fear of the credit crunch will no doubt play a part.

I for one cancelled my season ticket because I was disgusted at Dean Wilkins' treatment.


Just out of interest when did you cancel yours because i wasn't able too
