Next 3 Years
I'd hope if things get that bad, fans will really together and start to protest against the ownership. Can't see it being that far away in the future either as things stand.
All we need is the ownership to come out and publicly admit they are actively seeking to sell the club. Do that and people might actually understand the total lack of strategy or interest. Apparently they are looking to sell but the total silence we get from them just ends up pissing everyone off.
I think you will find alot of the fans will be sitting, at home, if the way things are continues, the season tickets sales could hit record lowes at this level next season if nothing changes. 🙄🤔Minimum spend,
Yes man manager,
Maybe hang on to Championship football,
Still have an average training ground and no academy,
Trev's trust runs out,
Fans will sit and do nothing.

There ST holders I know all now wish they hadn't bothered and see going on as a chore simply because they've already paid for it.

To be fair people said that last season - season tickets are cheap and fans will go on.
We as a fan base need to do more. Something like a planned walk out in the 30th minute or a protest before the game. Something like that. Get tv to notice. They wouldn’t want that.

I agree, we aren't really the protesting type, the number of ST holders actually attending the games will just slowly and silently drop off, making the 14k+ official gates look ridiculous, and then next summer they will silently not renew.I think you will find alot of the fans will be sitting, at home, if the way things are continues, the season tickets sales could hit record lowes at this level next season if nothing changes. 🙄🤔
Great way to build that essential full-paying-adult part of the fan demographic, then lose them in the space of 12 months.
That was me yesterday… I woke up about 11am after a late Friday night and after much debate in my head, I decided not to bother going…There ST holders I know all now wish they hadn't bothered and see going on as a chore simply because they've already paid for it.
Given that it was a lovely day weather wise, I can only see my absences increasing during the winter months….
Unless something changes !!
I think you will find if nothing changes on the pitch you will witness Deepdale becoming emptier and emptier with season ticket holders just deciding not to bother going on.To be fair people said that last season - season tickets are cheap and fans will go on.

I looked across at the Town End with about 10 minutes to go and it looked half empty at best with our fans flooding out.
Even if season tickets remain at the same reduced price next season, without some massive changes,some proper investment, people will do just like Craig is at present and keep their money in their pockets. 🤔

ST early bird price worked out about £12 a match, didn't it? Once folk have done their sums and realise they've had their money's worth (say, home game 13) many will stop bothering. IMHO

An absolutely wasted initiative unless things improve very quickly.

I sit on Inv Pav and was looking forward to 1st home game v Hull.
Now I am not looking forward to going on Saturdays but still gonna go. But row 9 of Inv seats where empty yet on the ticket website it says all blue. So guessing some don't attend due to other things on Saturdays or can't be arsed and it's only September It will get worse in winter months etc. With 10 mins to go loads left around me.

I am working on the figure of 10 matches - 10 matches @ £28 each = £280.ST early bird price worked out about £12 a match, didn't it? Once folk have done their sums and realise they've had their money's worth (say, home game 13) many will stop bothering. IMHO
It could happen sooner, but agree, people will then chose if they want to attend or not and if nothing changes people will choose the non attending. 🙄ST early bird price worked out about £12 a match, didn't it?

We've had an aggregate gate of 39000 for the last 2 home games. It's likely to be a long time since that was achieved.
Wasting an opportunity to get fans hooked in for the longer term.

Just a few more home games to endure Ando, before you can switch your attention to having a saunter round Manchester and a few nice wines with Mrs A, safe in the knowledge that you've had your £worth from the ST!I am working on the figure of 10 matches - 10 matches @ £28 each = £280.
