Sorry, to clarify, the post above wasn’t in any way criticism of communication so far (and I know those who replied may not have have seen it that way either), more what next steps the club could take.
What the chairman has done so far in terms of alerting shareholders has been excellent. As others have said, would expect the next thing would be to inform the whole fanbase where we are up to. |  |

If what has been said elsewhere is true As the goods/service will not be as I was expecting them, will I have grounds for a section 75 claim? |  |

Only if we do a Bury and we can't fulfill our games commitment for the season. Sentiment doesn't count sorry James.
I am holding back a few days to see what happens before I buy mine. With 380 tickets sold in the first two days, that suggests that many are holding back just now. | | | |

Well, at least Covid isn't going to prevent fans from buying a SC.
Anyone any updates to offer on other issues?

With Covid capacity restrictions being lifted there's now even less incentive to buy a season ticket. Can't see Spotland being full anytime next season! | | | |

Could be wrong, but think EllDale was acknowledging that a lot bought season tickets last season to guarantee attendance when capacity was reduced significantly.
Some may not do that now knowing they can turn up when they want. | |

As we near the deadline for the existing season card holders to renew to guarantee their seat, do we know how many have been sold? The last update this time last week was 380. | | | |

I think people will hold off to wait and see the performance of the team in the first few games and then, if doing well, will purchase a second half season ticket.
I think given the recent events, boardroom turmoil, poor manager, half the team gone and communication, which should be simplistic but always seems to be executed with Neolithic incompetence, that they are lucky to have sold 650.
In this together? no chance you're on your damned own until you can sort this out. Replace the "We need to statements" with "We are doing " statements.
Covid has shown the world can live without football, what are Dale going to do to get people back will be the challenge. | | | |

Yes a timely post on twitter
Not a bad figure but the club will be disappointed. That barely covers the cost of the hand sanitizer. But there is time yet.
I do think the club has scored an own goal on this. The pricing was right, but we have an elderly fan base and I think the anxiety around covid will keep many away initially. We have the space to spread the fans out but have chosen not to. I fear we will struggle to get to 1500 fans to a game in August | | | |

That's a contributory factor, sure, but the current regime have walked into a perfect storm. Manager walks out, shadowy figures trying to buy the club, uncertainty about the future direction of the club and you can see why people are hanging on to their cash.
The Chairman and the Trust have done an excellent job of communicating what they can, when it has been appropriate, but I should imagine that there is a small army of people working unseen and like Trojans behind the scenes trying to ready the club for the new season.
The amount of different tasks needing to be done at one single moment to get the club back on track is entirely unprecedented.
I'd rather they took the time necessary to make the right appointments, to sign the right players and to deal with the major off-field matters effectively, rather than cobble things together hurriedly and ultimately set us back another few years.
I'm sure supporters will buy the cards when things are more settled and the bigger picture becomes clearer. There's time yet, so we need to be patient. |  |

We've sold more than I thought we would at this point given the circumstances that others have pointed out.
I think we have a core support around the 1,000 mark which we will get to. It's just whether we can attract anyone above this to buy a ST.
Can't see many paying £22 to watch us in the Main Stand. | | | |

It seems like a lifetime ago when Russ marched into town, slashed prices, the totaliser started up and sales were booming.

And then he was found to have breached some regulation in a previous job and......
What we do know is even the best run clubs can be dragged into serious problems by the wrong people coming on board. | | | |

In the main, people buying SCs early will be those with seats that they want to buy near their mates. There is no advantage to people who stand in the Sandy in buying before everyone else as there are no reserved standing places... although, if someone were to paint squares on the floor, maybe there could be!
I reckon we will end up selling over 1000 SCs and probably not far off recent year's best efforts. A new manager, a couple or three or four decent signings in defence and we are good to go. |  | | |

You’re quite right about people wishing to retain the same seats.
Another factor in delaying purchasing a season card could be the fact that there’s no early bird offer.
As I understand it you pay the same price now as you will in a months time. | | | |
