The OFF contract players staying.....or Flannagan??

Lets hope his playing partner Allen dos not sign !

I don't know who runs the marketing at Leeds these days but this is a huge error. Trying to whip fans up ahead of a 'big ticket launch's on Friday when we don't even know which league will be in, have had a terrible season and there are more players leaving than signing .. oh and we don't know who the coach will be. No casual or new fan will buy a season ticket and some old guard will think twice.

This just seems like another indication that the club's hierarchy have lost touch.

Young, beautiful, smart/cool dress, lacking common sense, if my experience of marketing people is anything to go by. They're the only people I know who actually scribble things on white boards on a regular basis.

Not announcing prices in advance?

Sounds like they will be trying it on with the "short supply" model and trying to sell the tickets to a combination of those who will buy anything the club offers and those afraid of losing out in the long term.

Similar to how season tickets were sold last year, if you get one this year its the only way to secure your place in the South/North/seat/standing area long term etc

Season tickets are worked with the chance of having a total of 14 home games (11 regular and then 3 in the super eights) the fourth home game of qualifying for that, is down as free, so £250 works out at £17.85, saving £2.15 on an advance price. Working it out on current price (201icon_cool.gif at £216, it works out at £15.42, saving £4.58 a game on advance price. I expect advance prices to go up to about £23 and then game £26. That’s for standing mind.

Thinking about it, it isn’t bad at all, considering we are going into new facilities in the south stand next season, discounts on magic weekend etc. When you consider the fact that an adult season ticket at Castleford is £260 to stand, in their ground, you can’t grumble. (Yes I grumbled before looking at all this).

I know people want investment on the pitch, but that’s something that’s out of our remit as supporters and we can only discriminate or support their decisions. I hope for most that it’s supportive, because I know from messages I’ve received from players and staff at the club, it does affect them.

Ahh I thought it was 13 home games for some reason. If the £275 figure is correct that’s £19.64 per game for season ticket holders.

As this year a season ticket works out at £4.58 cheaper per game, you’d expect individual games to go up to £24. I believe some clubs already charge that much. Going from memory Hull and Huddersfield seemed quite pricey.

They absolutely fleece you at both yes.

The cost of season or match day tickets is relevant to the product on view . Eg the quality of players or the success of the team. Then of course there is the hard core of fans who support the team whatever is on view ,through thick and thin. Me I am midway between those groups . But like all Yorkshire men I like to see value for money. Certainly I don’t want to view championship players masquerading in a super league side. That’s assuming we don’t drop down!!

The short supply model is all they have isnt it.

25% drop in support this year
Dont know which league playing in next year
Dont know the format next year
Off the back of a dreadful season in every respect in a half built ground
Likely to be half built for another half season at least
No marquee signings
No announcement on who the coach is

All they can do is try and create an unnecessary scramble, honestly the ground is easily going to be big enough for everyone that wants to go next year

God forbid LUFC go up as well. Wont affect the crowds as such, but I would guess there would be a massive rush of sponsorship money to the Premiership, just when the shiney new facilities need to be filled.

There's some folk on here who really do earn this forum's reputation for tery.

Well I've just renewed - £360 can't remember what it was last year?

£250 to stand in the south stand. Happy enough with that.

No price change for me
