Not one of the others is aimed anywhere near the goal of getting our Family Stand back. LPM has already dealt with the irony of you listing some of these. Idealistic to think we could hit a target that would make the deal unworkable in the next couple seasons I’d say. Rough calculations, we’d have to increase last seasons record season ticket sales by almost 50% no one (including GLS) is saying this situation is ideal, we know there will be pain but everything mentioned is aimed at increasing revenue, improving matchday experience & ultimately season ticket holders. The increase in sales seems to suggest much is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remember incorrectly, I don’t know if it’s a few or many, nor do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you possibly argue against such a level of definitively analytic precision? My mention of the word ‘few’ was to do with fans getting displaced & was meant in proportion to the larger number of fans that don’t get displaced. It had nothing to do with the actual like for like fans for and against the arrangement The fact a few posters pretty much came in their pants for weeks after it (IMO) shows the desperation & complete lack of success in trying to show where I have lied, spun or deflected.

Your "almost 50%" over last seasons 3500 sales would be 1700 - 1750 more equals 5200 - 5250, which is way more than we would have to sell. I think your idealistic rough calculations are a bit of the mark. Explain what we do if we have 100 more season ticket holders than seats in the 2 stands!

I think your idealistic rough calculations are a bit of the mark. Explain what we do if we have 100 more season ticket holders than seats in the 2 stands! My understanding was we sold 3,300 last season, if it was more than that, fantastic, more evidence the arrangement isn't scaring fans away. a 50% increase in sales of 3,300 would be 4,950 meaning we would need to sell a wee bit under 50% to make the deal impractical... Exactly why I said almost 50%. Even if the 3,500 is true (hopefully it is) the target is still completely unrealistic to expect we'd increase to 4,607. Would have been setting us up for failure. Edit: If we had 100 more fans I would expect the arrangement to be stopped, GLS has already said as much in a 'review' when we increase tickets.

Pointless task that doesn't create an environment for people to display their support for the arrangement. Peer pressure would play a massive part. You have no basis to assume you're in the majority... You should be used to that right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remedy is in our hands. Buy more season tickets. Simple. Our progression in selling more tickets each year over the past few years allied to a good finishing position in the league could see us sell out both side stands. As you say, what then?

No fear at all, I'd be more than happy if the arrangement wasn't there, especially if it was because the seats were filled with SMFC fans. I understand why they do it though, money business.
