[cite]Posted By: CatAddick[/cite]Thanks Henry - might try and do a few more this season.
Last term my record was W4 D4 L2 for games attended.
Maybe I'm lucky.....
Well you are a cat ; - )
If we have a record like that next season we'll win 19 draw 19 and lose 8 which will give us 76 points = play offs

OK, I was thinking they might bring more to a local-ish game just after promotion.

I reckon they will bring 1,500 myself, but there are lots of variables in my estimate.
I'll hopefully be buying my second season ticket shortly - just been waiting for news on my house sale, which I've now got, so can start spending money again!!
Come on Mr Big Stuff. Buy the club and put another 1-2k of sales on top of that
With staff nearing the end of the exercise to post out season tickets to supporters, the club revealed on Monday that more than two thirds of season-ticket holders had so far renewed their seat for 2009/10.
The club announced in early June that 7,625 applications had been processed by the commercial centre - and the total of paid-for sales has this week topped 9,000.
The figure had reached 9,024 by Monday afternoon, providing further encouraging news for Charlton football club chairman Richard Murray as the Addicks gear up for their League One campaign.
"The season is fast approaching, and this is further evidence that fans are right behind the club,” he said.

"More applications are being processed every day, and it's great news considering that we want The Valley to be as full as possible next season.
"There is still almost three weeks to go until the start of the season, so we are hoping staff will continue to be be busy in the run-up to the first match. We need as many season-ticket holders as possible, not least because a fuller stadium will help us generate a good atmosphere to help us to bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt.”
Charlton had just over 15,000 season-ticket holders at the start of the 2008/09 campaign, a figure which included other tickets.
But the latest 2009/10 figure available from the commercial centre solely comprises paid-for sales, and means the equivalent of more than two thirds of season-ticket holders have already renewed their seats.

imagine how much more 'we' could have been behind the Club if we'd have been given something to be positive about. Frankly I'm amazed that that many have renewed considering the current uncertainty, the state of the squad, League 1 football etc. Must be blind faith. I hope RM doesn't get too carried away with this '.......the fans are right behind the Club' because I don't think that is necessarily the case. Supporting the Club yes, right behind it ?
Heard it was just over 9k paid for season tickets, if we get 10k paid for season tickets it will be a very impressive total, and probably average out at about two and a half million pounds, if true the trick is to run the whole kit and caboodle for £2.5 mil.

Plus match day sales sponsorship, C & B income, TV money, advertising, player sales (Hudson, McGinty, Gray?) but the point is valid. Get a balanced budget or a very rich new owner or both

Yes, extras from player sales and so on are a bonus, and a sale theoretically will pay for a subsequent purchase...however I think the fundamental relationship between paying spectators, and the running costs for the year is the least variable business relationship and should form the cornerstone of the financial structure.

Disagree completely.
Income is income.
Paying spectators are a variable income just like in any business. Other business income which isn't so reliant on the performances on the pitch can only be good.
Selling players and relying on this is a risky strategy but Crewe did well out of it and Cardiff have a similar policy of selling a player every year to cover their £5m overspend.
I am suggesting we don't 'rely' on selling players, and I also suggested that paying spectators are the fundamental relationship, I agree that attendances vary with the degree of success but are a more stable measurement as to the voracity of the enterprise. It would be dangerous to rely on uncertain income such as lanera or setanta for example, and income from some sources should be seen as a bonus, and perhaps be used for bonus-style activities.

I think they stopped it after the latest renewal deadline, so new applicants and those that missed the renewal can't pay by installments

We are not anticipating 3,000 Wycombe fans. Their average last season was 465 so it seems unlikely.
Not been since THAT game....
OK, I was thinking they might bring more to a local-ish game just after promotion.
Makes the walk up expected quite big then especially during the school holidays

Now over 9000 paid for sales.

Me and my arsenal loving little brother (but don't hold that against him) are gettin ours first thing sat (pay day)
I read somewhere this week we've sold 9024.
Tavern's looking closest with 9131.
Would be great to reach target 10,000 by Saturday. Free ST to the 10,000th buyer.

Who got closest?

Wycombe have sold 600 in advance.
Paid season tickets are 9,600.
Go on then, name them!
