Yup!

Since I'm out of work again at the moment I will be down there early to pick mine up. Dead excited, me.

I'm really excited (which ain't like me) and can't wait to get in Langtree park! I've been in there few times with work but not been in for few month so can't wait to see it.

Did you take part in the strike today?

Re: Season ticket sales : Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:08 pm  

The invitation to the new stadium on the 9th December for season ticket holders, does anybody have any inside info if we get to sit in our own seats. Managed to get my season ticket seat for the friendly Widnes game.
Exciting times ahead.

Less than 500 allocated tickets left. Not bad going for the sales team, especially if the prawn sandwich section sells out to.

Is that a Rogues style joke? I'm without work so every day is a strike day to me at present.

Had I been in work though, and in a public sector job, then no, I wouldn't have taken part in the strike today. I was (and still am) totally against it.

I did tell the massive amount of picketing workers on Corporation Street - er, that would be three - that I was totally against the strike when they shoved a piece of paper in my direction. Strangely enough they didn't say much in reply!

Yes. That's pretty much all we get to do! And watch a training session. Oh, and some refreshment kiosks will be open as well. From what Jon Wilkin said on Twitter, it might be Typhoo kiosks that are open! I'm looking forward to it. I hope the weather is kind to us!

No it wasn't a joke. I meant was you in support of the strike with being a teacher.

But I'm without work.

Never mind.

As a teacher I am not in support of the strike either. Given that all but one primary school in St Helens closed today I would have been forced not to work (although I hope I would have been paid since I would not have voted for strike action). However, I would not have been out of the classroom by choice.

To get back on topic.

I have done a block count of remaining reserved seats at the end of the early bird period

North Stand
C block = 11 remaining
D block = 2 remaining
E block = sold out
F block = 4 remaining
G block = 43 remaining

Therefore just 60 seats remaining in the North stand.

South stand

C block = 315 remaining
D block = 29 remaining
E block = sold out
F block = prawn sandwich eaters
G block = sold out
H block = 1 remaining
I block = 60 remaining

Therefore 405 remaining in the South stand

So in the last month around 300 season tickets have been sold in the reserved seat sections.
Remember this doesnt include unreserved sales, family areas, or the west terrace. So i dont think its unreasonable to speculate that we have sold around 400 season tickets in November.

The key going forward is if sales fizzle out, or if they boom in the run up to christmas and the start of the new season.

Washed it in cold water with colour catcher and it still went pink.
Nice lady in store changed it for the grey/silver version.

She said they had had a few back with the same problem.
