Let’s be honest here, anyone can watch STFC at anytime they want.

I don’t buy into this talk of loyal fans being frozen out. Those 2,500 who had season tickets before will still have one now. Also, there was ample opportunity to buy a new one before the 7,500 limit was reached. Getting a ticket for an away game can be challenging but as far as home games go, I see the same old faces alongside many new ones.
Likewise, I don’t think the club has ‘sold its soul’. In fact, the exact opposite has happened. The impact Rob and Ryan have had on the local community and beyond is tangible. It’s revitalised the ‘town’ and given us all such a lift. What they have achieved in such a short time is beyond incredible.

Let’s be honest here, anyone can watch STFC at anytime they want. Which is as it should be. Cant understand why you haven’t got a Loyalty scheme. STFC know exactly who’s bought tickets and deserves priority…. Simple really 23 points for a Season Ticket 1 point for home and 2 points for away. Takes the lottery out of it. I know with my 23 points plus a further 16 for 8 away game I’d be ‘guaranteed’ a replay ticket if we draw with you.

Interesting reading those comments! 😅 A price to pay for the success they are seeing I guess. I’ve got to say (tin hat on) I sympathise with some of them. Sounds like some have been going for years, endured the dross, and yet no longer get to see their club play. If that was us I’d be rather disappointed too. Despite the trouble we’ve had with ticketing issues in the past for bigger games, I’ve got to say the club have got it spot on in recent years. Season ticket and Loyalty point holders getting priority works a treat. Think our friends from across the border with their super duper smart new owners could learn a thing or two from little old us I am not a regular at the Racecourse but would still try my best to got at least 5 games a season. I have been there watching us play the likes of Havant & Waterlooville, Histon, Eastborne Borough and the like and back then it was pay on the gate. Not everyone can commit to going to every single game - those that generally can are the season ticket holders after all - but to now have about a 1 in 5 chance to get a ticket is pushing it. I will be lucky to go to a single league game this season, and probably for the next few seasons until we either settle into League 1 or hopefully the Championship and attendances possibly suffer slightly As I have mentioned before, we are definitely on the crest of a wave You need a long chat with Noto. He is mentioning something like the Championship, think he calls it the Champions League though 😉

To be honest any club who sells to foreign owners sells its soul.
I will be extremely sceptical if this happens to us in the future.

Its away games the pre Hollywood regulars have problems with. Not having a loyalty points system means there are occasions where they miss out on away tickets

I expect you to buy your way to the Championship but not have enough money to buy your way into the Premier League. That will then be the challenge of whether W&W lose interest or not?

I do genuinely mean that. Bit of humour and a realistic fan unlike Noto and how Doc Proctor is becoming.

Our issue isnt if R&R lose interest, its if the rest of North America do. It is a massive income stream for us as they are buying anything Wrexham related at the moment but god love those yanks, once they are committed they are infatuated.

Just following your example Martin. Keep repeating the same line. Grizzly likes you, doesn’t he?

Enough noise being made along the lines of what you suggest, so I would expect it to happen.

Why would Noto want one?? 🤔🤔 For their Cup Final He will probably be on holiday. I've heard Rhyl is nice in early January. Not many tourists, and about (twenty) two degrees.

Looing like 8000 max. Not been a big rush since tickets going to 4 points. I'm not sure there will be a great rush when they go on general sale.

Are we going to get all the south stand flags out for the game?, seems a waste to have them but not use them all, I know they are available to pick up yourselves from the concourse but this way doesn’t make people use them. Be good to intimidate wrexscum when they come out of the tunnel 😁

I think a lot of people will be waiting for the next loyalty-point-requirement drop in order to get tickets with friends. Wouldn't surprise me if we see a big upturn in ticket sales then. The downside of one-ticket-per-person - no allocation system is perfect, sadly.

From a quick look at the online ticket site and some rough guesswork I reckon there’s still around 1300 home tickets for sale, mostly in the corner blocks. Wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t shift them all to be honest, but should be close to a sellout.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t shift them all to be honest, but should be close to a sellout. That's what I predicted all along. Close to a sell out but not quite. So everyone that wants one will be able to get one. I've had a young fan on FB trying to tell me it's a 'massive' game for us. Guess he has never seen us play Wrexham before. That just shows you how it's not a massive game except for those fans over the border. Just another stepping stone towards us playing a big team.

There may well be some more if not all season ticket holders take up their tickets.
