It’s bizarre, if it is ST holder not releasing their seat then they absolutely should, the club couldn’t make it any easier and there’s some decent incentives as well. I released my ST for the Wrexham game on the Monday before it as I had tickets for the England Brazil game, yet it still didn’t sell apparently.


Actually scrap that, just checked the website and it did sell. Must’ve been last minute. Still only 2 out of 6 though.

I release my seat when I can’t make it. There’s a few around me however who either don’t turn up, lend their ticket to others or when they do turn up, it’s 15 minutes after kick off and they’re usually back in the bar 15 minutes before half time.

Our of interest, for those who have released seats this season, how many of them have been resold?

Released mine 6 times , it says 0 released seats so i assume that means it's never gone ?

I offered my FGR ticket out for free on this site. No takers and no friends wanted it. I've normally missed some games each season when going on holiday and when Town have been in a slump (and they frequently have) you can't give a seat or ticket away. Those who turned it down missed two home wins when I was away.

I don't offer it back to the club. They've already charged me more than enough for the seat without making more from it. I'd rather give it away.

Some of the stats about our poor league form in the last decades really are shocking even though I've consistently had a ST in that period.

I think that may be it for me. Town seem to have a high win rate at home on the few occasions I miss a game. When you don't win many home games during a season anyway it makes a ST really poor value for money.

I saw one home and one away win in 2009-10, both in September, having attended eighteen home and fifteen away games.

Reading this please, please don't go to the Bradford, Newport and Swindon games as 9 points would be very welcome.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

7 wins at home and 1 win away all season is dire whatever which way you look at it . Double figures would probably keep us up but it's a tragic  season laced with too many draws and defeats however the club dress it up .

Given that you’ve said you’ve not been able to give it away, what you’ve said about not giving the ticket back to the club makes no sense.
