To avoid starting five different new threads a day on the subject, I'll keep this one at the top and we can keep updating it as the pledge number increases.
Please use this thread as too many new ones on the same subject has the effect of kicking other, sometimes worthy, threads off the front page.
Cheers.
Current count... just under 4,000! ;D

Mine'll be sent off next w/e when I go back to me dad's for the Wigan game. That'll be two more on their way. I reckon there wil be a steep increase in that final week, especially if the club make the forms available in the shop/ticket office etc.
And what about inserting into the match programme?

I spoke to Jonathan Fuller today and the club are planning a 'blitz' of sorts at the Wigan game.
They have asked me to include a pledge form in the next issue of The Oatcake and we are happy to do that.
Apparently, the club have sent out 11,000 pledge forms to fans whose addresses are on their records and they remain hopeful of hitting the 8,500 target.
At the moment the non-season ticket holder percentage of pledge forms (around 23%) is not enough, with the club needing somewhere around 30% (plus all current season-ticket holders pledging as well) to hit that 8,500 total.

11,000 and I'm not one of them! I don't need one because I don't want a season ticket but after having one last season I would have thought I would be sent a form; unless my parents threw it in the bin and aren't telling about it because they think I might be tempted by £199 to come home every other week? ??? Moan, moan, moan...that's all I do. Podgy Bear! ;D

My mums on the mailing list. Fuck knows why shes never had a season ticket. Maybe it's becasue of my brother going to Football in Community or possibly having been to about 2 gamnes i think it is.
So we got to hope there aren't many more people like that!

Well this ID card holder has received one but as I am also a season ticket holder that doesn't prove anything. The club has said it was mailing a form to everyone on their database so there is no reason to suppose that all ID cardholders will not have been sent one.

At the moment the non-season ticket holder percentage of pledge forms (around 23%) is not enough. Smudge I know it's cause for concern at the moment but I reckon a much higher proportion of non season-ticket holders will get their forms at the Wigan game, as many of them won't be on the mailing list.

Agree there AndyK,
I reckon that a lot of none mailing list fans won't have heard about it, becasue i've only heard about it from here and getting the forms last week at Millwall.

I downloaded a form off the internet. I used to be on the database a long while ago, but have not received anything in ages . Probably because I moved to Wales ;D

have all true supporters had 1 sent then As I am currently not a ST holder, but do carry a TS Card, I feel I am qualified to answer this question No. Cheers

That's a bit worrying Griff - Tell the club about it - its in all our interests that they get it sorted quick

Re ID card holders.
My mum has a card but she says she hasn't recieved a form. She has had other stuff in the past though, so she must be on the database.
Me and my mate still haven't sent ours off yet, they'll be going on Monday.

Middo 1. No, if you sign the pledge you are not committed to buying a season ticket. 2. Yes you can move your season ticket seat from where it was last year. Obviously if there are more ST holders next year there will be less choice of alternative seats so get in early when the chance to move seats arrives. It may be better to get your ticket for your present seat when you renew your ticket and then switch seats when your mates who don't have a seat at the moment buy theirs. 3. Those who donn't pledge will still be able to get a season ticket - although they'd look pretty daft if they didn't pledge and we didn't get enough pledges for the club to go ahead with the cheap ticket offer! Basically anyone who thinks they MIGHT want a season ticket but doesn't sign the pledge is a numpty!

One season ticket holder and three ID card holders in our house, only one pledge form came through. I assumed the club were being sensible when it came to postage. Maybe that is why everybody isn't getting a personal letter? sand x ps Smudge, yep - he does! Don't worry, putty in my hands
