Featherstone Rovers are offering Season Ticket holders at all Super League, Championship and Championship One clubs the chance to gain entry to any Rovers’ home game throughout the season for just £10, with every ticket holder also eligible to bring a child along for free.

In an unprecedented step, Featherstone are offering £5 off their standard ticket price on production of a any valid 2012 season ticket pass and allowing every season ticket holder the opportunity to bring a child along for free.

“This price buster offer is great deal for people who want to watch great Rugby League at a friendly club,” said Featherstone Commercial Manager Paul Taylor.

“The club is playing some fine Rugby currently with Daryl Powell doing an excellent job in charge, but we are also aware of the importance fans play in the game and we want to encourage more people to come down to watch a great standard of Rugby League at the club which is at the heart of the local community.”

The Rovers will have a designated turnstile allocated for fans from other clubs to gain entry to the stadium and to take advantage of the offer all you need to do is bring your current season ticket to the ground and stewards will direct you to the designated parking area and turnstile.

The offer is also available to Concession Season Ticket holders at all Super League, Championship and Championship One clubs where entrance to the ground is £6 (normal price £9).

so let me get this straight!

Fev are offering fans from Cas, Wakey, Leeds, Batley, Dewsbury and the rest of teams geographically local to fev,

"turn up with your season ticket from your club and your in for a £10er?!"

i may be wrong but do Fev not play their home games on sunday afternoons?! the same day as all the other teams?!

i just cant see a leeds season ticket holder for example who has payed x amount of money for the south stand at headingley deciding to go and watch Fev instead?!

they are clearly aiming at the few times a season where local teams around Fev play on a friday or sat, and may decide to want to watch another live game?!!

cant see it making much/any difference to fevs annual average though.

As far as SL clubs go though, at least half the games rather than being on a Sunday are played on Friday, Saturday and at some point Monday.

Worth a try in my opinion. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Noticed on the Fev Website earlier that demand for the DVD of the game from sunday is that high that they're going to have a showing of the game at the Big Fellas this week.

In your eagerness to pick your missing the main point. When YOUR team play fev YOUR season ticket holders will get in for a reduced rate.

As for SL teams I think it is aimed at when they are playing away.

The idea is it to boost away support, and secondary to that are neutrals.

HTH

It's innovative thinking and worth a try, well done.

I'm with John well done Fev not a bad idea at all.

Thanks for the feedback. Its aimed at all clubs and we will see how we go. For example, Wakefield play away at the same time at Hull FC this weekend. A trip out to Hull FC may be out of the question for some fans so we are offering them an alternative.

Hopefully other clubs will do the same and our season ticket holders benefit (such as Batley are going to return the favour), it may help with season ticket sales next year.

It works if you own your stadium and can make a couple of extra quid on food and drink, in situations like at Leigh were you pay a % of gate money for costs and dont get any other income from sales it doesn't really work

I called to get my copy on Tuesday and there had been a steady stream of folk at the office all day buying the dvd. At a fiver a time the club will have done well out of Sunday's match.

no good fax doing it as giants fans would not even come when it was their own matches, too far to travel

Very true

I think this is a good idea, so well done to fev for trying something different, all clubs in the championship should look at this idea.

For example, if only 50% of fev season ticket holders took this offer up at Batley, Batley would be certain of a min of 500 fev fans turning up, which even at say a 10 tenner a time would be great for them or for any other club who decided to started to market the same offer

I see Leigh have now decided to do this offer, www.leighcenturions.com/article.php?id=7401 I believe we should also look at doing this,
