Noted that plenty of "where can I buy a season ticket" supporters have now crawled out of the wood work in and around Huddersfield.
Well guys and gals, you are going to be disappointed.
I'll explain why and this is based on the capacity of 24500...it will drop from that figure before next season
For a kick off we have to offer 10% capacity to the opposition 2,450
So that takes us down to 22,050
We have 17,552 season card holders and we have to offer 5% to home non season card holders that's another 1,103 (rounded up), so that 18655 in the home area leaving just 3,395 seats but we can't actually sell another 3,395 season cards because if every season card holder is guaranteed a ticket for cup home games then 1200 have to be moved into the 3 home sections of the crowd that have a capacity 20,446
So simple maths of 20446 - 17552 = 2894
Now subtract the 5% 1,103 from 2,894 = 1791
Now that 1791 figure doesn't include for any segregation, camera positions in the stands..remember folks we will be live global next year and a expanded press box and bigger dugouts...all that will eat into our capacity...by my reckoning 1500 season cards extra IF Dean decides to put them back on sale
