Your a lot more optimistic than me with regard to season ticket sales.
I'm thinking more in the region of 7-8k for a final figure.
A lot for me depends on how many people are buying terrace season tickets. For these there isnt a mad rush to get one as your viewing spec doesnt matter if you bought one in August or in January. This is of course not the case with seating where its very much a case of those who buy first get the best specs.
With regard to Season ticket sales at Knowsley road. I recall there being some specific figures in the planning documents, and if my memory serves me correct the actual number of sales was nearer to 5k than 6k.
Hopeful more than optimistic 10,000 was a dream case for this first season
I do expect more than 7,000 at present, this is based on us already having 4,000 allocated seat sales and the supposed 1000 corporates added to the standing and family areas etc... but as we've both alluded to terracing is key to decent figures, the only rush is the early bird / renewal pricing options. I would love a counter on the sales to give us an idea in those unallocated regions.
It is interesting if we only had around 5,500 season tickets and still our average attendence was more than double that number (not even including the last season) that is significant walk up given only 2 teams brought huge away support.
