As regards our membership 1500 + at full price is not bad going in 4 weeks.

I hope you sell a lot more, and have a good season, but no club can afford to to sell season tickets for a vastly reduced price, it will defiantly sell more tickets in the short term, but further down the road the cash will soon run dry, when that happens where do you go, will your new boss be prepared to make up the short fall, in years to come if he keeps the price as low as he has it now you will need to double your sales, no rugby team can run without making money all you need now is to sell another 4000 and that will be equivalent in ticket receipts as selling 4000 at a realistic price

68% are silver members.

Rest are Platinum (600 quid for adults), gold or bronze members.

When you factor in all memberships sold in the season into the official match attendance (whether they attend or not) what do you expect.

49 memberships sold between 5pm Tuesday and 5pm Wednesday. Good going Cas, keep it up.

I have just read the questions and answers on the club website regarding access to the Wheldon Road End for matches. So for the privilege of standing there for a game, I now have to pay at least £50 for a bronze membership.

I don't live in Cas and can now only get to about half of the games each year but I have followed Cas for about 15 years, and for most years have had a season ticket. The membership scheme is no good to me as I can't use discounts where I live, and times are hard for everyone, not just the club and I can't afford to shell out £50 on top of the ticket prices.

I therefore can only assume that I am now not classed as a "loyal fan" and am not deemed worthy enough to stand on the kop where I have always stood. I probably won't bother coming at all now. This is not the way to win fans!

I have noticed that on the new Q&A piece on the website it mentions that bronze gets you into 3 games (not 2 as previously stated).

Panicking a bit at Huddersfield. Sold 6,000 last year and 1,800 this year. Looks like its due to charging a more realistic price. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=540460&tsmp=1353397279

As I read it, the 3 tickets is for concessions (students, OAPs), but still 2 tickets for full adult members. Not very clear in their statement.

"The Bronze package is fantastic value and a great idea for a present this Christmas. It includes two match day tickets to any 2013 home fixture"

Then further down:

"Concessions purchasing the Bronze package will receive all the above benefits plus three home match day tickets."

Do you buy merchandise? There's 10% off with a membership. Plus if you are coming from further afield, are you likely to pop to Xscape for something to eat? There's discounts there too.

I miss a fair few home matches a year, due to family do's and holidays, etc, so I bought myself a bronze membership. It's fairly unlikely that I'll use the discounts (apart from the merchandise discount) but I still got a membership anyway because I want to show my support for the club.

No: you're paying the privilege of £10 to stand there - not £50.00.

The bronze membership includes 2 free tickets with a value of £40.00. So you're only paying £10.00 extra for all the benefits that come with it. Is £10.00 extra such a premium to you really? Will you not make the £10.00 back through visiting Xscape, getting discounts off Cas merchandise etc etc?
