Received my letter but can't find a link on the website to pledge. Anybody else found it? For those that have not received theirs yet a brief summary is: 10K = £90, 12K = £75, 15.5K = £55. As a sweetener the first 3K to pledge get the guaranteed price of £75.

Sending a flyer like this out, then not setting your website up on the day it lands?

Not the greatest marketing I've ever seen and following the letter after the Warrington game........

Friend just text me to tell me that. I've not had owt yet.

I'm guessing that they weren't planning on having the letters arrive today given the official announcement isn't until tomorrow.
Same goes for the website.

Where the hell is Dilligaf got to?

New official pledge target is 12000. Although they have also mentioned 15501 and the possible prices. They will adjust the prices pro-rata if we are short.

Pledges to be in by 18th Sept. Tickets to be paid for by 31st Oct

Terracing summarised above.

Main stand:

10000 - £130
12000 - £115
15501 - £95

They may have moved the goalposts on age range as well. I always thought u8's were free but they are saying 0-5 yrs free and 6-16 £45

And they are doing the Red,Amber,Black 5 & 10 year deals again.

They acknowledge we were short on the football pitch this year and "solemnly promise to work relentlessly to bring us a team we can be rightly proud of"

Wow. So even if we beat last year's pledge total (which will take some doing) the price has gone up regardless.
I'm not even considering the 15k price because that will never realistically happen.

We're looking at £90 season tickets next season I feel, a nice 50% rise in cost. Great strategy there guys

No doubt it's still a good deal, but how the hell is Peter Hood going to put a positive spin on a 50% price hike?

Those targets are unrealistic, surely he can see that.

We were also told last year that the strategy was financially viable. Hell some of us even spent some time attempting to justify the pricing structure to supporters of other clubs who scoffed at the whole thing. So they either got their sums wrong, lied to us or have gotten greedy in 2012. Take your pick.

Also why is the closing date on the front of the brocher 18/09/2012? Shouldnt it be 2011?

Anyone know the family pricing yet? i.e 2 Adults 1 Child?

Well the 15.5 looks a pretty impossible target given the season we have just had. We haven't signed anyone yet that makes you think we will see us storming back towards the top 6 next year. Still superb value though, you cannot argue at a season ticket at the very highest price of £90. Most people will not think twice of buying a couple of video games for the same price for a season of RL.

The 5/10 year may well turn out to be the best bet for those seeking bargain prices for the long term. It will be interesting to see how the club market it this year, retaining the existing 11k certainly isn't a given.

Can't believe the new pledge website isn't set up yet. 1st 3000 get terrace for £75 regardless of numbers. Only way it looks like you can pledge now is to text. Do you think that will now be set up to record what number pledge you are?

Depends on numbers. Prices are for 10k, 12k and 15.5k for 2 adults 1 child.

Terrace £220, £190 & £150
Stand £305, £275 & £235

As someone else said its pretty obvious that the pledge doesnt officially launch till tomorrow and website will probably go live then. Fact that not everyones got letters suggests pretty strongly that they werent planned to arrive til monday after announcement tomorrow. got my letter but partner hasnt got hers yet. Maybe if someone from club reads this thread they will enable the web site early.


hoppy- family pricing for 2 adults + 1 child is £190 terrace or £275 main stand based on 12000 pledges.

As I've said earlier. I don't think the club planned for the mailings to hit today.

I would imagine everything is lined up to be ready to go from half time tomorrow.

As for the price hike? Yeah, it's a big ask, but it's a huge cash boost for the club upfront for the start of the season which is important.
Clearly that was needed last year and again this year in terms of setting budgets and sorting signings.

We're still the cheapest season tickets in the league. Will we get the 15k? Possibly that's a bridge too far. If we'd made it further in the cup or were higher in the league then yeah you might have pulled in a few more part-time supporters to part with some cash and buy a ticket. But on the back of another season of mediocrity? It's going to be a hard, hard sell for the club.

I don't know the financial workings of the club, but given how this season has gone, it might have been better for the club to look at taking a hit to the pocket for 2011 and freeze the prices as they are as long as they get the pledge numbers again.

Being frugal with money may have it's place in sport and to put the club on a sound financial footing, however, if you look at a team like Arsenal, their board has been frugal over the last few years which has corresponded with the fact they've failed to win any silverware over the same period.
