... and then leave before the team reappear for the second half?

I think your earlier post could be the more appropriate. Mick has put the word "cheapest" in his post but that isn't what the club has said, as you pointed out earlier, "best value season ticket package" doesn't automatically equate to "cheapest".

Nor, given the situation at City, could such a scheme be truthfully regarded as "groundbreaking", which is one thing they definitely say it will be. Connor Murphy's article in the T&A mentions that it [icould[/i be a cheap deal, again coulds and mights don't mean a lot.

I've been told that it's "better" than the City deal. Therein may lie the "groundbreaking" element, but unfortunately, I haven't been told in what way it is better. I imagine I'll find out tomorrow.

I haven't been able to prise any more details out of anyone either, so I can only speculate. I DO suspect that someone on this thread is quite close, but that is only me guessing. So yes, we'll find out tomorrow. It does seem that the club is making a very real and serious attempt to stop the rot, and to start the - hopefully rapid -recovery.

So I do hope the sceptics and the cynics, the disillusioned and the Debased will suspend their scepticism and cynicism, their disillusionment and Debasement, to at least give a fair hearing to what the club has to say? I'm going into tomorrow looking for an uplifting announcement. We need it. I really hope - I believe - we'll get it.

And then think about it some, and then extend that suspension until we see what next year's squad is starting to look like? And only THEN decide whether its to be more or the same, or more of something rather better?

How about this?

The Maxi-Mini package. How much you pay depends on the uptake of season tickets. The club will have an idea of how much they want to make so set a maximum price based on this year's numbers. You won't pay anymore than that but if more people buy a season ticket the price comes down, but falls no lower than a minimum price.

It would't necessarily mean you'd sell 8000 tickets at a lower price and only generate the same revenue as 6000 at a higher price as the reduction would ensure more revenue for the club but still at a discount to ticket holders.

Example:

Ground ticket £160. 6000 tickets = £960,000. 7000 tickets gets a £10 reduction, revenue is £1,050,045. 8000 tickets gets a £15 reduction, revenue is £1,160,000.

This encourages people to spread the word and invite new supporters.

Tickets sold at maximum price with refunds credited if required at the end of the promotion.

Would that work?

IIRC Featherstone did something similar this season.

Can somebody tweet the announcement as I can't get to the game and I won't even be in front of a PC!

I'll try to at half-time for you but I may be busy, check #rlbulls mate.

according to mick gledhill, who's already up at odsal, schem is like this.

if you go to game with a season ticket holder you get reduced entry. if additional person then they pay £15, 2 additional people £12, 3 additional people £10.

whilst I can see it raising attendances, I cant see any benefit to buying a season ticket if this is all there is to scheme. ay as well just get one season ticket for each group of people that go and everyone else in group gets in cheap. unless theres more to it like maybe points going onto teamcard off season ticket holder so they effectively get the reduction in price as well.

suspect if this the scheme then micks got it a bit garbled tbh.

any news yet?
