Have to say, its very disapointing when you look at the numbers sold for our upcoming games, especially when you consider we are now only 4 points from a play off spot.Barely 8000 home tickets sold for this Saturday. Less than 9000 for Newcastle and only 500 for Barnsley. I was hoping we'd take several thousand there.Newcastle have almost sold there allocation, and I reckon Sheff Utd will just about sell theirs aswell.Again, you have to look at how well DRFC and the Keepmoat communicate ticket details. It hasn't been on the Keepmoat site for the last couple of weeks, and DROS, well we know what that is like.I'm not intending on making this a moan or being negative. The club needs as many fans as possible, so we can compete and signs the likes of Sharp, Shackell etc, but again it begs the question why we market ourselves so poorly. Has there been any mention of the season ticket deadline extension anywhere apart from on this forum or DROS?
Can anyone tell me, apart from on this forum and DROS where details of the early bird extension have been published? Or where ticket info can be viewed?
He can't understand why it isn't in the Free Press every week.
Your presuming people buy them. Alot don't

Are you ever happy Mr Frost
Info is on the websites, in the programme and at matches. Where else apart from the above could be targeted realistically.
Is a fan who's not attending games to a large amount going to want a ST? No, so that isn't relevant either.
But as with a gig, would you expect to be targeted with the info? No, you have to find it.
Click on season tickets on DROS.No mention anywhere of the early bird extension.The club can't even be bothered to have the info available on its own website.

Someone else tell me why ticket sales are poor then. Or do people think its ok that we don't get the message out, especially when it comes to the early bird deadline being extended.
Matchday programmes for a start.
Alot of people do.But when the club cant even be bothered to highlight the early bird extension on the season ticket part of the website, it does make you wonder.Some people just cannot accept critisism of the club at any level can they?
I'm not. You just think I am.
Walk down the high street in Scunny (dodging the needles and human feacies) and theres Scunthorpe United plastered all over.
I now live in Scunny, and they put us to shame with regards to Marketing, the local telegraph has unbeliavble coverage of Scunthorpe United, Free press although better than it used to be (i.e. half the back page) is still woefull in comparison.Ive never seen one single rovers billboard in all my years of going.Walk down the high street in Scunny (dodging the needles and human feacies) and theres Scunthorpe United plastered all over.Maybe as a town we are just not proud enough of our club.
