I've been talking to some other former ST holders and the conclusion is that, in order to maximise the take-up, the club should offer all Ricoh ST holders their old seats back. Many people were used to sitting with the same people every game but had no other contact with them so have lost touch. Some of us are happy to have our old seats back but not so keen to have to pick random seats in the stadium.
This may not be important for some, but they need to do everything they can to get bums on seats for more than just the Gillingham game. What they do will show how much they are in touch with their potential fanbase.
totally agree, I'm a PSL and along with my two children (Boy 16, Girl 13) from Essex have had ST's at HR and Ricoh, my father joined us 3 years ago so we would want to have our old seats back, the cub have to offer me mine as per their letter at the start of last season. I would suggest a 3-4 day window for PSL / ST holders from last season at Ricoh to take up their seat, then open season. Yes the people who have ST already for Sixfield should also have this option, I know some people disagree but they have are paid up.
There should also be a re-introduction of early bird for a week or so to get the best take up.
lets just hope the club see sense, especially if they have access to the F&B monies to get as many people in the ground, even if matchday prices remain close to sixfield prices.
Still pinching myself - So so happy
