It’s possible. I think the release of the south hospitality has pushed it over 4k. This probably more to sell in there and you’d hope more over Christmas rest of stadium.

Good going really. Very much looking forward to the product on the pitch.

I believe the new south end 1873 hospitality is a maximum of 70 members. I’m not sure about the sponsorship boxes, how is their attendance recorded on gate number figures ?

They'll all have tickets scanned in as they are in the MKM suite. So they'll be included in the official attendance.

4,000 is a fantastic amount of season tickets at this point with 2 months still to go.
There's also Christmas to come with the Festive challenge Vs Leeds which will add more.
Then there’s the inevitable flurry of sales as the season approaches and pre season trial games start to be played, whetting the appetite of those who’ve been contemplating buying a ticket but haven’t yet done it.
I still maintain that we’re not done in the transfer market and if we do sign someone special it will also boost sales.
My original prediction was 4,500 but I do think we’ll reach 5,000+
With walk ups and increased away fan numbers we could be looking at attendances of 7,000 for most games with some matches selling out.
Who would have predicted that 18 months ago?

I was a little disappointed with the number but now it's looking ok. I guess with night games etc some people may not buy season tickets but will pay on gate. We need to push towards a home following of over 6k really so with away fans can hit the next IMG goal of a 7.5k average. But I remember Mick Carter saying the golden number to spend full cap was 6k and we never got near that. I think previous season ticket sales in Super League used to be around 1.5k

The fixtures are out this week that may see an impact on sales once fixture dates ( obviously with sky subject to short notice change) are released

I don't know where you get that idea from when everyone else, including Ste Mills, is saying that we are done ??. Yes, we have a "bit of wiggle-room on the salary cap", but, along with having no quota spots available and having the squad that we currently have, I think you're going to be disappointed.

But he maintains it. Surely that counts for something??

Plus Kay has left since so that will free up some cap space should the club wish ro add to the squad

Re: 2025 Season tickets : Sat Nov 16, 2024 1:16 pm  

Good numbers now for STs.

The club certainly left room for a player or two and since then Kay has left as mentioned. I suspect if the right player (or two) become available that we will see them at Trinity.

I hope and can only see us signing players who improve the starting 17. We don’t need cover or numbers, we need quality.

Players every year through the season become available and it’s good we will be able to pounce if they do.
