Might be a good income against overdraft at this time of year

On the other hand, the vast majority of season ticket holders will attend every home game, thereby boosting sales in ancillary areas such as catering and programme sales. And inevitably, some of those will be new season ticket holders. There probably isn't much in it either way. 70% is a very large increase, that's for sure, so we'll see where we end up in a few weeks. It does guarantee the club cash flow at the most difficult time of the year - the pre-season period when there is no other income. Far less tangible is the fact that these early sales are a vote of confidence in the new manager(s) and create a bit of a buzz around the place. It doesn't necessarily mean improved attendances because most of those new season ticket holders would probably have come to each game anyway; but it probably does ensure they will come regardless of whether our season performs its annual swallow dive into the bottom half over the last two months.
And no one can argue with money in the bank, especially given our recent history.

If their renewals of renewals then they'll be paying the same as last year?
I think the club are happy to have the money in the bank in any case, less floating supporters who might not turn up on a wet Tuesday or if we have a bad run (like last season)(well still might not turn up but the club has the money)

As others have said it's a great cash flow when virtually no other income is around and, who knows, it might even boost the managerial budget or help pull off a deal?
I can see the home average leaping upwards over the 3,000 mark, provided all this optimism translates into points on the board.
I would also like to suggest that our away following will also be on the up. I, for one, expect to get to many more away games than I did last season (just two, Braintree and Boreham Wood) just like I used to.
