you have trouble buying tickets usually ending with a phone call to the ticket office to sort it out
For a bit of balance, I've never had a problem buying a ticket on line and have never needed to call the ticket office to complete the transaction. I bought a season ticket on line without any issue in the summer and got a ticket for yesterdays game for my nephew. It's not really a difficult process. Also, any online club Shop purchases are straight forward and arrive in expected time.

I'm not sure what you realistically expect, you either support a football club or you don't. Unfortunately the majority of people in Northampton don't support Northampton Town FC.
The Season Ticket numbers aren't going to fluctuate wildly unless we have a couple of seasons at the right end of League One and you may see more of an increase then or plummet toward the bottom of the conference and you'll see sales drop off.
As it is, we're in League 2, the average gate is up and given we've always very much sat in the Fourth tier of English football, 4-5000 people still come to watch each week and a good number travel around the country for away matches.

Ticket News SEASON TICKET SALES ALREADY 8% UP ON LAST SEASON WITH FIVE WEEKS STILL TO GO
A lot of fans obviously think the club and the owners are doing OK.
As one of those 8% this is one of the reasons I bought one after 17 years without one despite only really being able to get to half of the home games.

Saido Berahino?
A fully focused Saido would be a great signing, sadly he's not been that since WBA rejected Tottenham's £25m offer and would be a bit of a risk for any club to take on.

I tell you what would be interesting, for balance, what do our current owners plan to do with the club post land deal?
I don't know. I'm just asking questions around the latest vague statement from one of the parties interested in the the long drawn out saga of the redevelopment of Sixfields wondering if I'll see anything happen before I shuffle off my mortal coil.

So if The Trust are successful in buying the land, you'd need to foster some sort of working relationship with the very people you don't really like and vice versa as the feeling appears to be mutual for anything to actually happen?

Or 100% of the money made could go to Belle De Jour or any of the other companies involved in the NTFC ownership ?
And it's snidey swipes like this that need to stop if you want to start getting fans back on board with the Trust.

Interesting reading, again it's a lot of we've done this but can't tell you yet, which has plagued the development of the East Stand and wider area from the outset.
Two questions...
1. If the Trust purchase the ACV will they own the entire footprint the Stadium and Athletics track sits on?
2. Any proceeds from this will go to the Trust, will the football club as it stands see any benefit from what you propose or is this the first step towards The Trust buying and running the football club?
Apologies if the above come across as silly questions but there's been so much talk around the development, I've lost track of what's what.

True, but over promising and underachieving doesn't get the best reception either. Are season ticket sales down? I haven't seen anything either way.
I've bought my first season ticket for 18 years and my friend has bought one after not renewing last season so that's +2
