Does anyone know how many members there are?

There were 12,800 season tickets in 2019-2020 but I suspect a majority (like myself) paid for more than one.
With 9K (let's say) individual ST account holders and a 20% uptake for 2020-2021 membership, there would be 1800 members.

I personally suspect it's less than this, and would estimate 500 - 1K members at most, but this is pretty uninformed guesswork. It's hard to gauge from this forum due to the high percentage of ultras.

Just trying to convince myself that I have a relatively high chance of 'winning' the lottery (which of course a completely pointless exercise either way).

A figure of 1,600 sticks out in my head but I could be way wrong. I think Mickey D said that in an interview

Thanks. If that's right, that means about 1/3 chance of getting tickets, based on most or all members entering the lottery and a guesstimate allocation of 1000 (of 1200 total), corresponding to 500 'winners'.

Anyway, lottery entered! If you're not in, you can't win.

Being loyal or foolish, I'm not sure which, I bought 2 memberships as I have 2 season tickets. I was only given the opportunity to enter the lottery once, so your chances have gone up slightly. I'll wear both of my scarves if I win.

It said you only had to enter once but each membership on the account would be entered separately and then depending on success/want the person could choose what tickets they wanted to keep and pay for on their account. So for example you have two memberships, you enter once but could get zero tickets, 2 tickets or 4 tickets. (That is how I read it anyway).

That's a bit unfair, you should have had two shots. I doubt that too many people have more than one membership, so I hope you get it.

I think it happens quite a lot - I know a few on here have multiple ST's on their account. I have two as well
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.

Fair play to you. I usually have two ST's, but only paid for one membership for this season. Best of luck to everyone in the draw.

Congrats to those who got tickets - hope you have a fantastic night - and if Scott Fardy and Michael Bent are there that you'll give them an extra hard cheer to say thanks on behalf of us all
