This. Proper waiting lists give you an actual number in the queue and you have to renew it yearly.
There will be some households with 4 names on the list wanting just a parent and kid ticket.

I reckon a few, and it’ll be the clubs fault, more specifically the ticket office.

It’s names of people who are waiting for season tickets to become available so they can buy them. The club will have them stored on a computer in some kind of order, probably chronological, in list form. Hence ‘waiting list’.

In a way though...the waiting list means very little....its a name on a registration page and press send...them 15k aren't guarantees...they havent paid a deposit that could be lost if they dont purchase...I know a few already season ticket holders who have registered just to see how the registration worked who obvs won't be getting one.... never the less though there will be 1000's on the list that will get the chance to get one

Yes we did
Typical of some of our fans.
15,000 waiting list the Mags and Leeds would be shouting this from the rooftops but some of our lot, it’s a load of shite probably nearer 2000 blah, blah, blah.
What is it with the fuckers.

The ticket office is very far from perfect but if you haven't renewed your ST, it's on you in my opinion
There has been so much coverage of no auto renew it's pretty impossible to miss

When you apply for the waiting list it asks you how many tickets you want say a family of 4 each applies they would probably apply 4 times to give them a better chance. The system would say 16 people on the list but they only want 4 tickets

I agree it’s a tad on the high side imo. But absolutely class if true. Bigger fan base more revenue etc.
The waiting list has nowt to do with how many don’t renew though at this point. If 4k don’t renew the waiting list will reduce by 4k. Will be a lot of caveats on people waiting, like they want 3 together so pass up. Some peoples bluff will be called”I went in league 1 now can’t get one” will be offered and say they didn’t get offered etc.
Just hope we are pretty much sold out every game going forward

All true but even 15K expressions of interest aren't bad tbh. If even one third are prepared to stump up that's 5000.

Chances are they will be losing them next season

Yeah absolutely. I live 200 miles away but it’s even been on my mind about putting myself on the waiting list as it might be the only way I can actually attend games at the moment! What a time to be a fan. I imagine there will be a fair few like me in the same situation.
It’s fantastic to see the club doing so well and in a situation where we have a waiting list. I never thought I’d see the day tbh.
I know several exiles who normally make it to around 6 or 7 home games a season who are now all on the waiting list. The ability to pass your ticket to family and friends (or resale) means that it would be easier for them to buy a season ticket rather than go through the challenge of buying tickets for individual matches.
This in turn wouldn’t do our fanbase any harm. Someone getting to matches rather than watching on tv, and then recycling it to friends who also get to go - it all adds up to gradual expansion of demand, which could only be met by then expanding the ground.

Got a pal on Arsenal's and it's nuts how long it is. You have to pay like £30 a year too to maintain your place, and it can take 20 years to even get one

a lot of clubs charge per season to have your name on the waiting list... im sure leeds and liverpool charge £10 a season or something like that.
if we said its £5 to have your name on the list that 15k will suddenly become 2/3k

This. The club obviously doubt the demand is there long term or they'd be extending and not doing the legends way. Right decision to wait another couple of years.

Would it really drop that much over a fiver?
Similar position for me, with the number of matches I can get to a season it hasn't made financial sense for quite a lot of years for me to get a season ticket as it has always been easy to buy home tickets, and even been possible to grab quite a few away tickets without problems.
Its now proving difficult to get tickets home and away, and when I do it means I am in a different part of the stadium each time, so getting a season ticket is becoming almost essential. It will mean I will try to get to more games, but will still miss quite a few of the evening kick-offs.
If I get offered a ticket, the final decision will be made when I see what tickets are available and what the cost of them is.
