oafc1955 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) From tonight's Chron....... "Season ticket sales have been steady so far, but Moisley is confident that there will be something of a surge as the new campaign approaches thanks to the terrific form the Athletic team showed during the second half of 2016-17 under popular boss Sheridan." Does anyone think this will happen, I certainly don't. The vast majority of supporters intending to buy would have bought one by now. We've suffered two relegations and have been largely crap for nigh on 20 years. We've only just survived the last two seasons in this division by the skin of our teeth and Moisley's confident of a surge. The last close season was an absolute farce but to start a season with the nucleus of a squad is the norm and not a reason for fans to get excited. A marquee signing or two would help the cause but until we put a decent string of wins together I rather think it will be as we were! Anyone think differently?

Latics and England Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Season tickets are now £420 aren't they? There is no way more than a handful of people are going to cough that up. I can only imagine this is a prelude to an announcement that the early bird offer prices are about to be reintroduced for a short period. I don't think we have announced POTD prices yet. Have I missed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Valentine Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Well I haven't renewed either of mine this time in favour of picking & choosing my games (oh and I was a bit peppered in April/May), but the calls/emails from the club chasing me up for a renewal amount to a big fat zero.

daniel Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'll get my 2 in the next month or so. Had holidays to pay during early bird prices so will have to make do with paying a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 After some (good) signings and if they offer the £300 price, they may shift a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 If the Chron asked him a question he's unlikely to drum business down. I agree that the vast majority of STs will already have been sold. And with a couple decent signings are unlikely to increase sales by more than 2 or 3 hundred. But a successful start to the campaign will boost match day revenue at full price. They will already have survived the zero match day ticket revenue of summer. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) There isn't much going on. The Chron has to run a Latics story every day. They put the best spin they could on a couple of quotes that look clear honest and blunt to me. It's a non-story - and that's all there is to it. Not the club's fault a non story has been presented as news - but that happens at this time of year. I wouldn't read anything into it.

JohnnyPimp Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 For those hoping for a marquee signing, I think you'd better train your eye on Dan Gardiner judging by the superlatives being thrown around by the Oldham Chron in every article he's mentioned in.
