Winner winner chicken dinner! If I get offered one we'll have a chat about a ticket share or summin @Don Diaz as I'd take it but financially and logistically speaking I can only do about half the home games this season.They told me on the premium seating sales pitch that 20,000 new season tickets were going to be available.....so if you're in that number (see what I did there) you'll get an offer.
I have asked THST if this is correct ICYMIHere are my thoughts for what its worth,THST are rightly being coy about positions on the waiting list, however here is the truth no one has mentioned yet as far as I can tell.Yes if you are position 14,567 on the waiting list and defer this year next year you will hold your position relative to those who take up this season at wembley (meaning if 10,000 in advance of your position take it up at wembley next season you would be 4,567 on the waiting list).That is purely to make the math simple not what will happen?
Now here is the angst with defering,if the club add 18,500 new STHs this year and you defer,those 18,500 will definatly have a season ticket at NWHL.If the club add 3,000 season tickets at NWHL on top of the new 18,500 then season ticket waiting list number 4,567 would not get you a ST at NWHL.
Is that how everyone else sees it,?For me in my opinion there is a risk in deferring if people believe they would still automatically get a NWHL ST,because they (THFC) will get 18,500 new STHs this year even if they go down as far as 25,000 on the waiting list,so anyone thinking of saving a few bob and deferring this season,find out if the above scenario will effect you for NWHL.
food for thought.

Well put and important information @Havocc take note before you defer....Here are my thoughts for what its worth,THST are rightly being coy about positions on the waiting list, however here is the truth no one has mentioned yet as far as I can tell.Yes if you are position 14,567 on the waiting list and defer this year next year you will hold your position relative to those who take up this season at wembley (meaning if 10,000 in advance of your position take it up at wembley next season you would be 4,567 on the waiting list).That is purely to make the math simple not what will happen?

I've had my email. Haven't decided yet whether to take it up, turn it down and hope I don't have to wait too long for one in NWHL, get 2 season tickets between the 4 of us who go together (although then we obviously can't all go together),or find someone who would want to share 4 tickets taking them all for half the games.
It would help if we knew what the plans were for ticket reselling as I won't be able to make every game.
Pricing for anyone who wants it:
I thinkHere is a rough take on the ST situation,not trying to influence anyone`s choice but here is my very rough take on this year at wembley and the following season.
We are adding a net 18,000 season tickets to the system (THST say 500 or so have what they call churned,changed over organically) so that means approx 40,000 season tickets from august 2017.The club will not reduce that amount for NWHL as that would be taking them away,so lets stick with;
40,000 STHs going into NWHL (current plus the new 18k)
3,000 away fans
2,000 corporate/thomas cook,players/staff tickets (probably higher)
16,000 for members/open sale
61,000 total capacity
Even if THFC decide to add more STHs to NWHL its going to be in the low 1000s,once the new 18,500 take the option this year,next year may well be only a few 100 changing over or being offered,the terminolgy of if you defer you keep your place on the waiting list,may well be true,but who wants to be 2,000 on the list without a seat at NWHL?if you dont mind waiting a year or two for the inevitable first seasons churns of in&outs then waiting isnt so bad a gamble,if you want 1st season at NWHL,I would consider the premise I have offered before deciding
Would love to hear if anyone has any figures/ideas on this too?.
Yeah turn it down mate, the more that Do that the better my chances are!!!SEASON TICKET WAITING LIST POSITION

I only pointed this out,cos I have seen many on twitter saying they will defer when they were told they wouldnt move down the waiting list as a consequence.But once new season tickets have been added,depending on NWHL quota of STs I think many are unaware of the consequence or possible consequence should I say.Neither THST or THFC have communicated this,the fact you stay same relative position on the waiting list doesnt fully explain that people deserving/entitled to a NWHL ST may well be disappointed in a years time.There will be a lot of bad feeling from those who havent understood fully,If you have any doubts ask around, thst will answer your email even if you are not a THST member.I think the point made by Skia is valid, makes me concerned I will miss out. I may have to take the option
Personally I believe that from what has been communicated before,after this huge increase to around 40k STHs,that is the approx number the club is looking for,I dont think next year they will add another 5,000 or even many more than the 40k? But thats a personal view from what I have read from thst/thfcmeetings but not definative policies.I think
the only figure that is missing is the 8000 'premium seats' and the corporate box seats will be higher? I reckon there will be about 8- 10000 seats available for Bronze Lilywhite per game. Probably about right.
WTFDICYMIM?Those after 18,645 on the list will be contacted after phase 4 if take up allows.

I agree, I was told by a THFC employee that there would be around 41k season tickets in the new stadium.Personally I believe that from what has been communicated before,after this huge increase to around 40k STHs,that is the approx number the club is looking for,I dont think next year they will add another 5,000 or even many more than the 40k?
