I would imagine the 22,670 figure was last year's total and those seats will have been unvailable to buy until only a few days ago as they were reserved for the current hoolders. Maybe they're just giving those people a few more days to renew and haven't released them yet.  I've renewed mine so it's no good me checking, but if anyone hasn't renewed it would be interesting to see if their seats are showing as available yet (although they could have been snapped up in last few days I suppose).

I really think that the threat of so many ST holders not to renew if TSM was still there (almost everyone i spoke to said the same thing) was more than a warning the club heeded to - and bloody good job they did

I really could of imagined sub 22K games and the enevitible relegation that would of followed if we had kept the twat in charge. I know the club dropped a huge bollock in appointing him but thank McGrath that they realsied the error of their ways so quickly

I've had nothing to do the last 30 minutes or so, so tried working it out.

The areas where you can't actually buy season tickets on the line are the away seats, plus c9, c8 and b7 (which I think are the family sections?).

If you exclude those areas from the calculation entirely, you get these figures:

Total Seats: 35,658
Total available: 14147

So, total sold is 35658 - 14147 = 21,421

On top of this, you could add any STs sold in the family section, which we don't have figures for.

However, I do wonder if the seat selector shows the seats of some ST holders as unavailable, when they haven't actually been sold - people doing what Chris said he did, ie getting them to keep them unsold for a bit longer.

So, basically, we don't really know.

Christ, I really need to do some work.

What's the official capacity anyway?  We never did find out.

Think you're probably right but it's hard to be accurate. Renewal deadline was 29th June, with last weekend relocation days and seats going on general sale today.  Having said that renewal deadlines were different for different parts of the ground - e.g. North Stand Lower was 6th June, Upper Holte 21st June etc.  What happened to unrenewed seats between those dates and the renewal deadline date is anyone's guess

Nothing happens, the various renewal dates are just for the clubs convenience. In reality it was the weekend for everyone.

My friend decided not to renew this season and his seat is now showing as available to purchase, there where also about 3 non season ticket seats next to me last season  that are now showing as purchased if that any help to you

It was revealed in today's programme that the capacity has reduced by 2 to 42786. At least we know now.
That was the last time that I saw it quoted.

For those who are interested, just looked on the online plan to purchase ST's for next season and added up the amount sold (as of 10:30)

Holte – 7461
Trinity – 8644
North – 2797
Doug Ellis (Excl.Away blocks) – 3768

Total seats sold – 22,670

That's not bad considering we are only at the start of July - What do you's think?

20,000 more than what it could have been.
