ill be renewing my ticket,just doesnt seem right to NOT get one

So far, 38 people have voted for anythign other than option 1. This means (based on all voters being adults) that the club will miss out on £6,650 in ST sales. At times like this, the club needs us more than ever and like someone else has already said, we followed the Richard Wright saga through thick and thin. Perhaps we need to give this new set up a bit of time also?

Interestingly while the biggest number of voters is for non-renewal that is the option that seems to have fewest corresponding posts so we dont know:-
a) their reasons
b) that they are even Cas fans

The poll in it's current format was always less likely to generate a statistically valid sample than present a golden opportunity for the spleen venters, trolls and mischief makers. It will be a miracle if ST sales aren't down but we're not gonna learn by how many on here.

Ive been in worst positions with my club , Relegations,players leaving etc etc etc , at the end of day as much as things have gone wrong this season this club is in my blood (as it would be if i supported any other club) ,
I have got married around the club playing games I have had a daughter and i have lost a 9 year old son who supported the Tigers ,( the Tigers sent two players to our Josh's funeral which meant a lot to all our family ),
I co-edit the only unofficial Castleford Tigers fanzine with Disco another way my life is dominated by this club i love , so the answer to the original post is
YES I WILL DEFINATELY BE RENEWING MY SEASON TICKET

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

The club have given another reason not to renew today by letting Brierley go.

So now that brings the reasons up to:
- Not value for money
- Millward
- Letting the best youngsters leave, again
- Price increase despite wanting more fans to go on the back of the worst season in club history
- No clear future prospects

If Chase and/or Clark leave then that's it.

Sounds like you've never seen him play.



Steve Ferres has said so.



YAWN.

Your everything is ok back the club no matter what they do attitude is precisely why this club is going backwards, grow a pair and let the club know they're making mistakes and are losing fans because of it.

Steve Ferres has said nothing of the sort. He said we cannot give huge discounts. So you're factually incorrect again. At no stage has any pricing been confirmed; in fact, it is people hypothesising and reading into statements that do not actually say anything of the sorts.

The club cannot justify a price increase and I will be surprised if there is.

If you think they're trying to sweeten things up with the pathetic "membership" scheme plan before announcing a price hike then you're deluded.

The only reason they're offering extras next year will be to justify a price increase, because they need to do that because the on field product certainly isn't worth anything close to what this year cost, nevermind what it would with a price increase.

Or to encourage people there's more value in them and to get people to buy them.

Let's face it, 5000 members is not achievable through the current ST offering given current circumstances.

I fully anticipate a price freeze.

That will never be achievable as long as they keep putting dross out, treating the fans like crap, playing in a crap stadium with a pathetic excuse for a coach too.

If they think a scheme where you'll get 10% off a replica shirt or something like that will encourage people to all of a sudden buy season tickets - it isn't going to work.

The only thing that will is a good squad that is well coached and some good news on the new stadium, until then people will stay away. The club needs to be proactive and not rely on fans for everything, all the time. Bullying fans into buying season tickets or else they can't make signings is not how to run a business or get fans on board.

I want to be constructive, but I have to go to work, but I am more othe side of negativity here.

I have said tons of times, a small number of excellent and value loyalty schemes with tiered benefits, not an entire rethink and try and find a magic bullet.

Expectations for next year; another year of expectations. Will be better than this season, I strongly expect the vigilante posse to force more change, which will have the affect of change and oddly leave us languishing for longer while people "build their own thing".... High level change is a 2-4 year thing to bear fruit as a minimum, so next year is year 1 and 2 respectively so I expect little.
