I guess that means that Season Tickets aren't going as well as hoped then? I'm sure they said they'd only be for the first 1000 members

Wouldn't matter if the club gave away a free shirt, some people would still make excuses not to support the club.
Looks to me like CC is doing the best he can with what he's got and let's not forget he's a Wakey lad and has the best interests of the club at heart.

People will always find an excuse, quite often I can sympathise and understand why they made the excuse. All we can hope for is that enough people get season tickets to pay for what the club planned. Then we can only rely on Chester getting the best from the boys. Hopefully some consistency will start to bring back some of the stay away fans

People wouldn't buy into the club because of the 'Wildcats' tag.
People wouldn't buy into the club because of the uncertainty over the ground.
The club has done as much as they can on both subjects but some fans still expect the club to spend beyond their means to get the easy come, easy go 'loyal' fans through the turnstiles.
If people expect CC to assemble a top 4 side with the money he has and fans will only buy into this when it happens, then we are forever going to have a catch 22 situation.
It took Cas to sell Clarke and a wise investment in players by Powell to start the ball rolling for them.
We don't need to sell our assets and the signings that CC has made are pretty shrewd.

I have actually mentioned before about the club to produce a mini seaasin ticket package om maybe 4-5 games to try to bring stay away fans back through the turnstiless and also new fans.

Other clubs have done this in the past and it has worked.

There will be quite a few fans who didnt renew their season ticket for 2016 following the bad 2015 season. I will hold my hand up I was one. However if they had done this I would have and would have got a second one too. The only home game I missed was Warrington in Super 8s.

Also, maybe if the club captured the postcode when you b.uy your season ticket and then use this to see if there are any trends as to where they are low. If theyre liw in one particular area then target that area to do a bit of marketing there

I think the idea of a 5 game ST is a great one especially as we only appear to have 5 home games on a Sunday and some people won't be able to make it on other days

Went in for my season ticket and before I parted with my money, asked if you still got the 'freebie' bag?
When the answer was yes, I handed my coin over and indulged in my car sticker, pin badge, key ring, £5 off a shirt voucher, in a drawstring bag! Sweet!

I never got a key ring
