Season Tickets

[Billy bodger]

I think people don’t need to get too hung up or thankful of the fact that the Club has extended the early bird season ticket sales. There are many Clubs whose early bird ends much later. I always thought it was a short window especially when you think ‘Whittingham 1,000’ is still

For me I think a good will thing to do is just extend it till 2weeks after the sale goes through seeing the Club are saying it’s closer than ever, with paper work with solicitors.

I'm totally in agreement with the above in fact I'd go further and say that our BoDs are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't....with regard to information passed to the fans and in particular the extension of the early bird ticket offer.

[Westgate Wanderer]

The big announcement will come when the ink has dried and there IS something concrete to announce!!

[redrobo]

The paperwork as been sent to the solicitors for completion is good enough for me

My concern is, if it has happened, why bury it in an article about season tickets? Why not shout it from the hill-tops?

Either it has happened, and the club should shout it out not 'announce it' in an article about something else, or, it hasn't, in which case it is misleading.

Hopefully, we have good news next week...

It is possible that the new owner wants to make the announcement himself which for me is how it should be.

For some people to say the club have said the sale is close just to sell season tickets is totally disrespectful to the hard working staff at the Mazuma

I was one of the 1st to buy a season ticket and I have no regrets about buying it what so ever

Best Fan of the Year Award goes to you!

[Redalert1970]

Nothing about been fan of the year just think some of the comments are totally disrespectful towards some very hard working staff

[BerlinWaller]

All the messages coming from the club, the pushing back of the deadline and social media comments from people with links to the club makes me think that NAPM campaign is having a bigger effect than people want to admit.

[Wild Bill]

Is the NAPM campaign even a thing? I see the term banded around by a handful on social media but it's not really an organised campaign.

I suspect season ticket sales are down quite significantly. However, I suspect this is due to many fans feeling jaded by our rock bottom season as well as the ownership saga. I suspect that even if nothing changes, many will still take in home games, particularly if we get off to a decent start. For some too, it's finding £249.

[Hodgie1978]

Well I'd say definitely at least a 100 doing NAPM.
People claiming that won't have an impact.
Well that's 100 People who buy season tickets every year...buy a pint or a pie every game.
.buy kits

I'm not sure what level of organisation is needed to be honest.

[Redalert1970]

There is also a few people on socials who said they were going to do NAPM but have now decided to buy season tickets

Let's see what happens over the next 10 days of the early bird extension

[Billy bodger]

If the sale is as close as is being said on our OWS all well and good and those who have bought early season tickets they will be joined by those who had decided to not give a penny more while Whittingham is still our owner.

For me and I take it for those passionate enough, (to some they will substitute ‘foolish enough’, but hey ho!), to follow the NAPM campaign but if that sale happens when the early bird season tickets are on sale, once again all well and good, if not, for me I am willing to take the financial hit.

I want Whittingham out, so let’s hope it’s not a false dawn and it’s happening.

Do I detect some cynicism over the NAPM campaign?

NAPM is a thing for those who do it, OK they are not organised other than hearing about what their Clubs fans had the guts to do in an attempt to get rid of their owners. For some it’s called ‘foolish’ or ‘disrespectful to the Club’. For me it’s about ‘not being taken for a fool, by Whittingham any more’ and ‘supporting Morecambe a different way’.

If people stop coming because we have fallen out of the EFL, I’m sad about that and yes I hope we do well and they come back.

Yes it is also about finding £249 who ever you are. If you want to watch Morecambe some will find it easy, others will have to make choices, I hope everyone can continue coming.

I hope we are sold and then I will be back at the games at the start of the season.

Carlisle have sold over 2500 season tickets

[marky No.1]

Carlisle have sold over 2500 season tickets

Not surprising really, having invested in the Club structure and signed the Leagues top scorer, they will be favourites to win the League and will probably have a near to full home end every game

[Billy bodger]

Carlisle have sold over 2500 season tickets

Carlisle had an average home gate of 7,425last season, so as marky No1 says, not surprised if you include the investment they are getting. (But then that’s only a third of last seasons Ave gate!!).

I wonder what our season ticket sales numbers have reached? (our average gate last season was 3,363).

[redrobo]

Despite all that investment still got relegated alongside ourselves

Next season nothing is certain despite new investment.

[deadorred70]

Season ticket sales might not be down just to NAPM ,some may not be that keen on watching N.L football.Team need a half decent season,if not season ticket sales the following season could be even lower.

[Billy bodger]

There are 12 ex-EFL sides in the National League, please don’t think the football is going to be much worse than EFL League Two. The National League has to be respected for how hard it is to get out of back into the EFL.
It took Oldham 3yrs to get out, Aldershot have been back in the National League since 2013 and York City 2016 just some examples.
I’m hoping with the players we kept from last season we will have a good/goodish season, we need to find a regular goal scorer and also need others contributing more than last season.
NAPM will not be a problem if we are sold, Jason finally sells and those who were stopping going because of Whittingham continued ownership will turn up, its that simple.

Maybe o/t but the resurgent Worcester Warriors have sold over 3000 season tickets so far for next season as they bounce back from the terrible dodgy ownership of 'bond group'!

[Hodgie1978]

Its crazy to think about what Jason did to Worcester and he was allowed to carry on at Morecambe.
I think the EFL should have issued a similar demand of sell the club or face expulsion. like they did to Reading

Totally agree, but when I’ve written to the EFL and the FA about poor ownership (not just Morecambe, don’t think we are isolated), I’ve just got platitudes and condescending reply’s, the guardianship of our game really do need to watch the backs of Clubs from poor ownership and there are numerous cases where they have not intervened and it’s cost many good Clubs way to much.

We are on the brink of having the ignominy of Whittingham being our owner dragging us down and out of the EFL through his bad ownership.

The FA & EFL can only work within the law. As I understand it, they were only able to force Reading's owner to sell because he was convicted of 'financial' crimes somewhere else (in China?) but they had to wait for a long time. Whittingham is clearly immoral, but not illegal.

Putting a company into administration breaks no laws and they're allowed to shaft their debtors and start debt-free the next day with a new Ltd company.
