Yes they can, and yes they will.
The promotion of season tickets has been delayed by the recent results, trying to pick the right moment so to speak. The target should be increased season ticket sales, with the first priority being retention of the existing, and then a different kind of approach to turn the new occasional fans into season ticket holders. A third type of approach should be to lapsed season ticket holders.
An increase in season tickets will then result in an increase in total attendance figures. We will end up with an 8,500 average this season, so 9,000 seems eminently doable. Something should be coming out very soon from the club.
