Confirmation of Away Season Tickets

[The Cube]

stupid question....did the AST start this season or were AST's available in previous seasons? If so, I knew nothing of it and Ive been to almost every RFC home game and a large number of away games for 30 years. Alot of RFC fans I speak to say the same. I guess demand isnt as high in previous seasons but this also indicates poor marketing on the club's part?

As far as I know they have been available for at least 2 seasons and maybe started when they changed to the new computer system. It was also possible to have cup tickets automatically sent to you for your ST seat and charged to your card the same way as the AST works (also hardly used).

I don't think they were heavily marketed but there was definitely mention of them 2 years ago with the ST renewal bumpf.

Certainly those who do have an AST know most of the others as there were only about 70 before and they are the people who tend to go to every away game rather than just a lot - which is just as well as you have to take every single ticket this season.

The home cups season ticket was not available for 2005/06, so I'm glad to see that it has been brought back for next season.

I agree. Just a shame I couldn't get one seen as I renewed my season ticket online!

i didnt bother with the cup home season ticket, despite going to all the cup home games last season....reckon a change of mind is in order and will get RFC to update my card

I emailed the sales office yesterday morning asking about my home st and away st.

They replied today saying that both are safe and have been allocated to me.

YAY!

Anyone else heard yet?

I have had two text messages a few days apart saying my season ticket is allocated, I was hoping one was the AST. but not sure now.

I believe thats answered your questions! Im surprised its 700 tho.. thought is would be double that!

[I'm Mad]

Wasn't it only something like 100 people had an AST for last season though? That's a big increase as it is bb0118.

[Finch Royal]

No AST for you though im mad - pLOLastic.

[Woodcote Royal]

Text just received from RFC confirming the successful renewal of my away season ticket.

Having renewed my home ST on-line, I now have a new parking ST and a home cup ticket registration to go with the above.................all received via my postal application (registered, just in case )

So, credit where credit's due................well done to all concerned.

[Keeper]

Just had one too, wonder if i'm still just next to you Woodcote, not that I ever sat in my allocated seat

[Woodcote Royal]

And the few became a multitude...................gloryhunters, couldn't you eat 2 for breakfast

[Keeper]

How many of us were AST's last season, i'm sure 100 is way too many, more like 30.

[Woodcote Royal]

No more than 50 would be my guess.

[The Cube]

Pretty sure the club said at some stage it was "about 70".
