Quote: rugbyreddog "Supposing that we set a price and the ST uptake is so bad that the club now has a problem that they will have to set the walk up price unreasonably high to make the ST seem worthwhile, they may be worried that no walk ups will be prepared to pay it.'"
And it's an accurate worry. My attendance next year is going to be solely based on that walk up price. If it's the same as last year or more, I won't be paying it. The only way I attend Odsal next season is if that walk up price is lower or if they do a special offer of some sort to make it worthwhile.
Considering they're charging £15 for friendlies, and as has been pointed out, if they make the walk up price £15 (same as last year), then season ticket holders (after early bird) will actually end up paying more than the walk ups over 13 games, there's next to no chance that it's less than £16 for standing.
If figures banded around are to be believed about ST sales so far (Not far over 1K I was told), then the club have made a massive balls up with the pricing strategy IMO.
