I feel the days of the season tickets is over. The club and the game in the UK needs to look to cater for the needs of what people want and their lifestyle. Many people like Marillion Man for example work shifts so Thursday night games for example are not good. Othrs have young familys and cant commit to ever Sunday watching Fax. Others live abroad or many hours away and may attend just the odd game or two. Maybe its time to look at Australia and the membership scheme they run both in the NRL and AFL with great success. Offer something for everybody so to speak. I like the way my NRL Club offer it and promote it.

membership.melbournestorm.com.au/

I think that the club has to look at things differently and look at providing the maximum benefits for fans in different circumstances and how they can be part of the club even if they dont attend many matches. The Storm had last year around 15,000 members, though often the number of home fans was less than this. This year they are hoping to get 16,000. The Bunnies are already over 23,000 members for 2014 I hear. Maybe its something for Fax to bring in for 2015

I agree. I'm prob not getting a season ticket this year because I will likely miss 2-3 home games and the outlay of £160 odd near Xmas is too much.

Noticed on twitter earlier that the nz warriors are doing ticket books for 3 games at a set price. If fax did ticket books like this I'm sure they would work.

I had a look at the Melbourne site - just over £100 for a full season ticket (including a couple of freebies)! Payable over 10 months at no extra charge as well.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

May be something on the lines of the scheme offered by Yorkshire CCC might be attractive. I have been a full Yorkshire member for the last 2 years but found the increase in the price of full membership for 2014 prohibitive. So I have taken advantage of Club Yorkshire. An up front membership cost of £30 offers a range of benefits including:

Discounted admission on virtually all domestic games played at Headingley (£10 as opposed to £15).
Voucher to be used in the club shop.
Priority booking for international matches played at Headingley.
Go racing days - free admission to 11 days of horse racing in Yorkshire through the year (worth over £200).
Monthly newsletter.

Not suggesting that the full range of benefits could or should be mirrored but discounted match entry for an up front 'membership' fee might, in the least, be attractive for some people who can't commit to a season ticket.

No one seems to have mentioned it but, at the shirt launch night, I thought that the club actually mentioned a brand new Membership Scheme to be launched in the New Year or did I dream it?

Just seen this video on Facebook this morning. Maybe this is it. Not heard of this membership scheme or how it works

Try the Leigh Reporter instead of the Fax Courier icon_wink.gif though the Reporter does have words not just pictures which may prove difficult for some of you Faxers icon_wink.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif Charlie knows .

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3245.jpg

Simon, It'll take either a very entertaining Halifax side or one capable of lifting some silverware ( how many pieces are actually on offer to clubs at our level this season ? ) to get me back into the groove of regular visits to the Halifax games this season i'm afraid. I could even knock home midweek games on the head from now on as a Premiersports subscriber it's just easier to sit at home regardless of which night the live game is broadcast. Last season i attended more reserve games than 1st team and for a good reason, the standard of fare on the field was boring & predictable. I might be able to cope with that if it means topping the league table but the thrashings we took at Fev & Dour Valley sickened me. I don't wish to tell Karl & Lee how to select their team or which tactics to apply in any given fixture but his style hasn't altered since he coached Batley. That doesn't entertain me, BUT, a new season, new half backs ( who will only be effective if our big boys are bigger than the other teams' bigger boys, try & remember that icon_wink.gif ) and dummy halves ( i refuse to call them hookers, I haven't seen anyone actually "hook" a ball in years and the fact that numbers 1, 2 & 5 get that job in an exit or speed set ) gives me fresher eyes on how to look at things. I'm also interested to see which of the reserves can push through, the developments that Siddal are proposing to run a summer U23's side are very interesting in my view because as i've stated many times previously, 18, 19, 20 years old is too young to cut players. I know within the Fax camp the feeling is that if you sign a kid on a contract & cut his amateur status, the lure of 12 or 15 reserve games per season isn't anywhere near enough for young blokes to learn their trade in the playing arena. I have my own views on who is a future candidate to push through & will continue to watch these young blokes give it a go but the first team is the club's bread & butter, if they can't go some way to entertain me sufficiently, I'll be off doing other things away from the pro RL games.
So i ask the question, how good for the Championship comps is, or has Premiersports been for us ? I'm not talking about the NRL or WCC coverage, but our beloved Championship clubs & their competition ? I see over 50% of the games played out to desolate stadia usually on a thursday but that looks like changing. The fact that the finals day was all broadcast live sort of prevented me attending the big day, likewise the NRC last season.

Last word on this post, I really hope our homegrown lads push through the first team, the fact that we've brought so many in at this standard from other clubs is disturbing & goes against my principle way of thinking we run scholarships & service area then spend time and money nurturing the talent to just bring in lads from other clubs but i suppose to the average supporter they just wanna cheer on the lads in the matchday first team 17 who wear the blue & white. We actually followed RFL procedure & requirements at Halifax RLFC to meet their standards and SL criteria in this field despite any added funding, well done to the supporters trust for digging deep in their efforts & energies for keeping this going, we weren't the ones who lowered the age of the Academy teams or totally disbanded them just to play/pay Johnny-foreigner go bust and Johnny-foreigner moves on to pastures new. Credit to the current Halifax B.O.D. & head coach for sticking to their principles, they're principles i believe in & trust.
