    Doesn't look like there's been much movement over the last few weeks then .... we're probably hovering around the 13,000 mark in total at this point, which still isn't too shabby.

    I would say that an exciting signing would probably push things on a bit, but the fact our transfer budget is currently more or less on hold in the hope it can be used to retain Rocky and Nectar probably limits any chance of that happening.
    Though it would be brilliant to retain both players keeping the ones you already have is never the same as the club buying a new player whose arrival might prick the interest of folk who are still to make their mind up about buying a ST.

    Just another reason that the sooner things are sorted out with both players, for good or bad, the better.

    This is where Aberdeen picking our pocket last month has really hurt us

    Folk do realise my post about us having sold 16,000 was 100% tongue in cheek in order to revive the thread
    Yes but I would rather know how many we have sold

    I'm not saying you're wrong, or that I disagree... but I'm curious to understand the mindset of someone not currently buying a ST but who would be swayed by a new signing.

    Who could we reasonably expect to bring in that would make someone decide that was enough for them to make the move? Ronaldo or John Mcginn perhaps, but otherwise I don't imagine our targets are likely to be any more exciting that Jamie McGrath already is.

    Yep. Add to the list of things that never actually happen.

    Yeh I get that. I can't say it's ever been something that has swayed me personally. But there have been times we have signed players that would have galvanised the fans if season tickets had been as big a deal as they are now, Keith Wright would be an obvious example and so would Steve Archibald and of course George Best.

    As for nowadays I agree there isn't really anybody out there I can think of, apart from maybe Jamie Vardy

    Been mulling it over for while but have just bought my first season ticket in about 10 years. Swayed by SDG.

    Snap. I moved here 10 years ago and although I've been to games every season, this is the first time I've had a ST since I left Edinburgh.

    I'll only get to half the games, if that, but it's great to "belong" again.

    Cheaper pies too!

    If folk aren’t convinced to get a season ticket now they likely never will be. Club legend in the dugout, unbeaten at ER in like 8/9 months? High energy football with plenty fight but also goals too.

    You can chuck in the fact that our main rivals are signing folk like it's going out of fashion in an attempt to wrest 3rd place from us, which should make for a season every bit as unpredictable as the last one, which was a exciting a season as we've had in Scotland for a guid few years.

    I don't know how Hearts signings will affect them, including having McInnes as manager, but the fact that unlike us and Aberdeen they have no European football should benefit them .... just as it undoubtedly did Aberdeen at the start of last season.

    Most excited I’ve been for a season to begin in a long time. Love the feeling around the club at the moment, love the squad we’re building and to have SDG at the helm makes it even sweeter. Nothing to fear from anyone in this league, we showed that last season. Bring it on.

    And they'll be papped out of the league cup soon enough so they won't have that to distract them either

    It'll be a sign of where they are at certainly. They have a tasty tie against Dunfermline who will be looking to do far better under Neil Lennon after a pish effort last season. A few hilarious results would be nice

    Add in a million-pound signing, beating Rangers to a player and resigning a cult hero. There has never been a more appropriate time to get an ST. Obviously subject to personal finances and circumstances

    Who is the million pound signing? If you're referring to Triantis then don't get ahead of yourself.

    I know a lot of people had seasons when we were crap but it's just too much now due to circumstances and can't justify not a pop just another perspective

    I take it you mean your circumstances? As it’s difficult to second guess the circumstances of others
