200 NEW season ticket seats sold smells like ripe manure left in the sun to me. If it’s 200 returning season ticket seats that would be miles down on previous years. Common sense tells you that the season ticket holders sat around the place that have gone never to come back far outnumber any new season tickets sold.

It'd be interesting to know what the total number is, and has been over the years. See what effect good and bad seasons have had on it. Tbh getting 200 to sign up after last year seems like a decent achievement. I wouldn’t necessarily believe them even if they said it was only 50 new ones....you know what they’re like. They’ll try any tactic,ever seen those media ad’s where they claim there’s only very few of a product left ! 🤣 Lol

Over the years Panthers have always liked to try save face rather than admit to failure and also have a great tendency to over egg anything. Whether it’s a trumped up bang average signing, inflated crowd figures, “record ST sales”, “the biggest rivalry in Europe” or the “fabulous” NIC ...all those and more have been used many times before. 🙄

Announcing 200 new season ticket holders is just a way for the club to project the image that the club is back moving in the right direction and connecting with its fan base. Tis just more Spiel from the club.
I agree there's no reason for Panthers to publicise how many season ticket holders they may have lost, but you can bet they have. Especially after trying to shaft season ticket holders in the new so called platinum seats (and to a point they still have)
If Neil Black spent the money on the ice the fans will come (back) It's not rocket science. Makes you wonder how Neil Black has managed to do so well in business to this point.

So Panthers trumpet the success of 200 new season ticket holders ... Now let's see who in the Black Tower is prepared to admit how many existing season ticket holders they lost! Despite the online and phone badgering of people who either left it until the last minute or didn't bother renewing at all because of the wee wee poor showing and blatant BS last season, do we think we will get an honest appraisal of real season ticket sales this year. I doubt we will get the truth or my name isn't Genghis Bonaparte Caesar, ruler of the known universe through time immemorial ... At least we now know why you shorten your name to regvegetable.

Not a howler as such, but I fail to see the point in this article. www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3217-record-breaking-season-ticket-sales-heading-into-2023-24Some teams are doing very well, of course, but Fife and Panthers are a bit "after the Lord Mayor's Show...". "250 new" could be (and probably is) hiding a whole lot of non-renewals. The article could've done without the somewhat underwhelming paragraphs on Fife, Guildford and Panthers. Strange piece.

Apaprently Panthers included some people that moved seats to sit with new ST holders. Thats according to somebody on twitter.

From what I was told a month or so ago Panthers were fully expecting to and fearing losing a whole lot of existing ST’s. You gotta laugh at the “250 new” wording to try and bury it. Lol 🤣

Moved these to the ST thread. Let's keep the howlers thread as the unofficial, entirely powerless proof reader for the Elite League that it is.
