Why have I posted this? Well as we are talking about other clubs' ST sales, thought I would broaden it out a bit.

I am sure this would be the case with Cardiff too if we made the PL. At least opening ST's to jackarmy loyalty point holders show genuine fans will be back in the Liberty.
For those unhappy with the post about Swansea - the title clearly indicates the subject matter, you make the choice to read it or not.
I also have said the same about Blackpool, Burnley & Hull in previous years.

I have to agree with Joff on this, but if we were in the Premier I honestly believe if we held 40,000 we would average over 35,000 the first season, but this is not a dig, but I really believe the Jacks would not average above 25,000.

lol doesnt matter persentage how many can you sell??? well bet its not more than we will sell and we are championship, so your argument is bollocks, actual sales is what matters when you get bigger ground then you can boast until you boast more fans than us watching then you have case ! dont you think roles reversed it would be same cenario? also financial climate same for all and we are still going to sell more than you, just admit you are small fish in big pond!!

but we haven't been able to cater for floating fans at all this season because its nigh on impossible to get a ticket with only 1500 matchday tickets on sale , i know of many many people who would go down if they could get a ticket

90% of season ticket holders have renewed. I fail to see what's wrong with that.
Did you expect it to be 100% in the current economic climate?

What has people waiting for season tickets got to do with people renewing or not?
You do realise that the people waiting for season tickets have not yet been able to buy them as they haven't gone on sale to them yet?
