I bought a ST in 2004 for around £530. I did not have to wait, so [presumably] no waiting list at that point either. However, after giving up my ST, having had it for a couple of seasons (had to give it up unfortunately), there was a waiting list iirc... almost certainly due to interest generated by our two 5th place finishes under Martin Jol's tenure. The club was starting to knock on the door of the top 4 after years of mid-table mediocrity. And the rest is... as they say... history.To illustrate how things have changed (and how old I am), in 1990 I presented at the ticket office two weeks before the season started and bought a season ticket for £90. No waiting list.
