Some good points raised. Obviously the club can't have 3 or 4 thousand bespoke payment schemes tailored to the needs of each supporter, but there does seem to be a need for some greater flexibility.
I understand the emphasis on getting full amounts for STs paid asap. The club has beaten off competition to sign and retain several players and significant cash flow is needed to support this. At some point though an instalment plan is needed for those who can't afford the lump sum. I paid this way last year. I think it was introduced in December.
The flexi ticket option sounds an excellent idea. Not everyone is available for every game.
A discounted price for away supporters who buy in advance will doubtless be run again.
For those who genuinely don't have a clue if they can attend until match day then it's a bit more of a problem. Possibly a voucher system? Pay full price for 6 games and the 7th is free?
There has to be a limit but the above should cover most circumstances.
Whatever the case, it's important that we all attend as much as possible. The club don't get everything right as we are all aware, but they've made a genuine attempt to put a competitive team out. That costs money. Supporters need to try and support that.
If despite everything, there are are genuinely a few members of this supporters forum who would rather watch rival clubs or have other activities they much prefer to do on a match day, then fine, it's a free country. The rest of us will move on without you, supporting the team and doing our best to encourage new support to replace you. Support that is going to attend games.

Quote: The Phantom Horseman "Yeah that's right,Wolfpack have there own agreement with Premier.The Championship comes under the Sky banner who at the moment only show the summer bash games from the Championship.Clubs are not allowed to stream there games LIVEunder the current agreement.'"

This is correct, and the rule is enforced. Two seasons ago a Toulouse supporter started streaming games on Periscope and it was nipped in the bud when the RFL found out. Fev have asked if they can show the Touluse away game live in the past and have been turned down.

I think pre-season games are still allowed, though if Bradford do that they need to make sure the fans realise it's not going to continue into the regular season.'"


Championship games will be streamed next year. More details as to what, where, when and how will be announced shortly.

That's a little broad brush though Mick? I mean, I know you clearly can't give away confidential stuff but "Championship games will be streamed", doesn't really mean very much in itself. That statement could equally mean just one, unspecified, game per weekend right up to, and including, all Bulls' games will be shown... icon_biggrin.gifAISY:

Heres my thoughts on a flex ticket for any club, first you must categorize matches otherwise the 6 will be TO, TW, FEV, Widnes, Leigh and Fax. Cnt see them being used for Swinton, Rochdale, Sheffield and Barrow. Middle ground will be Batley, Dewsbury, York. Say 3 x Cat1 and 3 from rest?? Hope we, Leigh have that option

I can, sort of, see the logic but unless you're going to have a full, category A,B and C for all fans, including walk-ups then I don't think it will work, or be fair. If all games are the same price and capacity is not an issue, then it makes little difference to the club which games they are used for, to be honest.


Speaking personally, if some fans don't want to see certain games then it's down to them and from my perspective it's they who are missing out and it doesn't affect me or the club.

I agree with Bulliac

Speaking personally, the issue isn't wanting only to watch certain 'better' games. It is simply not being available to attend quite a few games, regardless of the opposition.
