Baldyman 6,243 Posted January 14, 2023 I may be wrong here,, can only go by my own club,,, people who buy season tickets will buy them regardless of the team, or if they know the team,,, cos they are gonna go and watch it no matter what. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,281 Posted January 14, 2023 Well I’m on the fence personally, and will wait until the final two riders are announced before taking the plunge on a season ticket. It’s gonna need an eye catching signing to persuade me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got my money ready for a season ticket but I'm waiting for the team to be announced first because I won't buy one if the team contains both Andersen & Worrall because we'll just be a punch bag for other clubs again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are wrong! While I agree 'die hard fans' (no, not the film) will buy ST no matter the team. Some fans who still go every week will want a good team to part with their money. With the cost of living crisis even some die hards will wait for team announcements before deciding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which would suggest sales haven't been as expected. May be the team they announce is on the basis of season ticket sales as this is what sets the figures to pay signing on fees. They may have 3 teams in the background all associated with season ticket sales?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Season ticket salea could be the difference between, for example, signing Andersen or Tungate & Holder or Barker. Personally, that's sensible management Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I've also got a gut feeling that just won't go away and that's a thought about the team being poor to a point where the club are tentative to announce the signings at a quicker pace.

Diamonds85 702 Posted January 14, 2023 Some people won't buy tickets until they know how strong the team is going to be, simple... Announce the team then people will know what they're buying, it's not that hard is it?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
