Baldyman Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I may be wrong here,, can only go by my own club,,, people who buy season tickets will buy them regardless of the team, or if they know the team,,, cos they are gonna go and watch it no matter what. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Well I’m on the fence personally, and will wait until the final two riders are announced before taking the plunge on a season ticket. It’s gonna need an eye catching signing to persuade me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my money ready for a season ticket but I'm waiting for the team to be announced first because I won't buy one if the team contains both Andersen & Worrall because we'll just be a punch bag for other clubs again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are wrong! While I agree 'die hard fans' (no, not the film) will buy ST no matter the team. Some fans who still go every week will want a good team to part with their money. With the cost of living crisis even some die hards will wait for team announcements before deciding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would suggest sales haven't been as expected. May be the team they announce is on the basis of season ticket sales as this is what sets the figures to pay signing on fees. They may have 3 teams in the background all associated with season ticket sales?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket salea could be the difference between, for example, signing Andersen or Tungate & Holder or Barker. Personally, that's sensible management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've also got a gut feeling that just won't go away and that's a thought about the team being poor to a point where the club are tentative to announce the signings at a quicker pace.

Diamonds85 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Some people won't buy tickets until they know how strong the team is going to be, simple... Announce the team then people will know what they're buying, it's not that hard is it?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to pay Buster some £'s Would have to pay Showground owners some £'s All before turning a wheel. Then having to cover signing on fees for the likes of Iversen, Holder & supposedly Tungate also asking a decent fee, waiting for season ticket sales isn't that 'out there' to consider when building a team.

I would have thought the budget would be based on sponsorship secured, and average season tickets sales from the last few years, rather than waiting to see how many they sell this year before telling a certain rider they are signed….. also, haven’t seen any confirmation of new owners yet….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
