Why is everyone so defensive it is shoddy that we can't sell tickets at this cheap price no wonder attendances have been so poor this season Its more or less double this last seasons season ticket sales. Would it be shoddy if Man Utd could 'only' sell 110,000 tickets if they fixed them all at £400 ? Ground isn't big enough so that is a stupid argument

Most folk dont seem to realise that the Town ive lived in 50 years.... Is small compared to Bradford a city Leeds massive city centre then surrounding pop of over 1 million Sheffield.... Massive sprawling city and outer areas, can support two clubs, wendys easily get 30 k plus if go to prem, Utd easily get 20 k plus. Hudders surrounding areas are small. Most people do recognise it, Nick, most will agree with you. @them1kefish doesn't represent "most" Town fans. So you are happy with the season ticket sales??

Bearing in mind we've finished about 18th the last four seasons on the spin .. I reckon it's pretty amazing The criteria that it was £38 to pay to watch the Derby home game in a certain section if u had not bought before the day and for just over 4 times that you can have a season ticket even people who can only make 12 games or so should get one

What makes you so sure that we haven't? The official site is saying we are close and the price will go up once 15k is reached. Do you know better then? I have to say that I'm surprised seeing the dots left on the map. I don't know better. I'm far from in the know. But Dean was asked at his last Q+A and he said he wasn't saying how many were sold and that only him and Sue B knew. Originally it was the first 10k at this price and Town announced we'd sold 11k. If we've sold 14k it's hardly a poor effort, I'm not sure what kempfish is on about. Just looks to be cheap shot.

Agreed with this. From 8k to 13/14k is a massive improvement. Some folk would moan if we sold 18k.

How can it be poor that we've sold 14k I hadn't realised that town had stopped selling SC for next season.

I know many are from outside the town but if you took that as a comparison with other clubs then they would come nowhere near that amount.

Think we will sell few hundred more then after that plus walk up.

The club clearly don't want to sell too many season tickets and not have anyone pay at the turnstile. I actually thought we would have sold more but if it's only 15000 thats still a fair effort for a place the size of Huddersfield. Some larger Towns and Cities wouldn't have sold that. Bradford City, in reality didn't sell that many at even cheaper prices despite the way they dress it up.

Ground isn't big enough so that is a stupid argument Ah, so it's shoddy that we've doubled our season ticket sales BECAUSE we happen to have built a 24k capacity stadium, but the sales would be good if we had a 15k ground? Hmmm.

15k is quality for us. What we need now is to have a good season to keep those coming back. Who knows we may come close to selling out vs villa or Newcastle!

15K is unprecedented in our history but for when they were given away for the centenary!

With the buffer zones & the FML not available for SC sales we could probably only sell around 2k more anyway? It's a top effort imo & should make a big difference next season.

Every time I think about the utter stupidity of that, I despair for the fuck wits who think it's actually necessary in a stadium with built in natural segregation. Time & again we see other grounds with only a few seats & a line of stewards separating thousands of opposing fans - like at Derby today!

The thought is pathetic. Only time segregation may be required is when home and away fans are in same stand. Apart from that, unless you were is first few rows then you would have to be able to fly to get acros to another stand.

People slag off our stadium and don't get me wrong I agree with them in alot of ways but in the mid 90s it won building of the year plus I remember the atmosphere in those early years not being any worse than the later years of Leeds Road. Its the last 15 years thats been the problem, yet the ground is still pretty much the same.

If Leeds sold 10% that would mean 75,000 and we all not that wont happen.

Time & again we see other grounds with only a few seats & a line of stewards separating thousands of opposing fans - like at Derby today! I believe that the buffer zones are because all clubs must provide a percentage of seats available for POTD per stand and it's towns way of getting round that. If we did get close to sell out, those areas would be sold as POTD, basically.

I always struggle to understand why football clubs have to have a number of pay on the day seats available - surely you should be able to sell as many advance tickets as you can - I appreciate the need to have seats available for away fans that's how football works but in home areas surely you should be able to sell as many tickets as you can - not sure Ryanair or one direction concerts would have pay on the day - if you want a ticket you get one

if there are non left - tough The only exception for me would be 500-1000 left to enable the club to have club and school promotions. I would have them at every Saturday game -there are enough schools in Kirklees for this to be achieved.
