I think the club should extend the deadline until the end of the month in order to catch another payday.

Maybe call it "late bird discount"

I agree after the extension we might as well go to the end of the month and bring another pay day into the equation.

Over 2,200 sold now, outstanding support we could hit 2,600-2,800 by the end of the week as we've sold a couple of hundred since the weekend.

The further you push it back the less early people will pay - and the club need to keep cash flow going. An "early bird" discount is exactly that. I expect that during the course of the season there will be offers on for pay on the gate as well.

It's already been extended and this year has been different and hopefully a one off with all of the uncertainty behind the scenes. I just want to see us sell as many as we possibly can I'm not advocating this happens every year, I see the reason for having a cut off under normal circumstances but this year we need to maximise sales after an understandably slow start.

It's the mark of a true fan.

People should buy them for relatives* who have no intention of going, they would if they loved the club as much as me.

*No nanas either and they will be concessions and that's as tight as fuck, full paying adult relatives.

What's the point, none of us bought a personalised Pools number plate for £1000 so we're not proper fans anyway.

So are you saying, end the early bird offer, when it was originally announced, and hwave pools sell less?

What sort of fan are you?

GeoffN out.

True fans wait until it goes up to full price.

Elf and Safety won't let you! Happened in Spain, a bloke bought a season ticket for his late dad, and wasn't let in the ground as the Urn was seen as a potential weapon!!!!!!!!! True story!!

what Chip says in a nutshell.

every season we get the same thing discussed.

Why does anyone care one jot whether the deal is extended.

Infact its not a deal is it?

You are just made to think its one, and the moralisers fall for it every single year.

Market forces suggest to me that selling 2200 at the price it now is, is actually the correct selling price. Anyincrease and no more will be sold.

yet the same few, every bloody year, hint that its time to put the price up. What possible could you have for wanting that?

Surely your lives are not that sad, that you take some perverse pleasure in believing you have got one over on those that wait, or cant affford not to wait?

Instead of just celebrating the brilliant sales, you want the price to go up, to punish those that didnt buy early.

Completely fucked up attitude.
