Can I just ask how much a magic ticket was last year? Essentially a single person is paying £20 more to be a member and have a season ticket. I just spoke to the club and a non members ticket will be £180 so you may as well get the membership. This will give you a free magic ticket (either a day or weekend).

So last year an adult paid £160 + magic ticket. Does £180 really look that bad when you compare it. I'm guessing it was many of the single lads that went up to murrayfield for a boozy weekend last year so this shouldn't alienate that many.

Plus its not just the season ticket holder that gets the free ticket it is the entire household removing the problem of last year where people couldn't afford to go as a family.

Eh up, the self-appointed intelligentsia have arrived.

The offer is perfectly clear in that there's a membership scheme and discounts for families. What it doesn't say is if there's a membership scheme for non-families, nor how much extra we're likely to have to pay. Now, I know we're all apparently getting information on season ticket renewals in the next week or so, but wouldn't it have made sense to put all the information on this press release? Rather than coming up with half a story?

I'm sick to death of people shouting others down when they dare to criticise the club. God forbid we see flaws in the plan, eh? Maybe you should sit back and look at where we're coming from on this rather than using it as an excuse to show everyone how 'clever' you are. Stick to beer guides, at least they were useful.

I'll wait to see what the renewal packs say, if I get one. Last year's turned up after the early bird deadline, good job I'd renewed already. This is a good idea in theory... But it needs to be clearer about what happens for non-families.

Think you wrote this before I put my post on. A non members adult season ticket will be £180. I just spoke to the club.

I did indeed think of that one! I suspect that the club are trying to get single blokes to stop attending as single blokes, and start bring their 'significant others' with them. This effectively doubles attendance within that group of fans and also means that 16-40 year old blokes all have their missus in toe to keep them in line. Whether it'll pan out like that is a very different matter, and largely depends on the women of Salford?!


I'm not suggesting that the club is discouraging anyone, just that they're discouraging young fellas from coming on their own. Having the missus in toe is almost certainly going to keep some of our more riotous Shed dwellers in line, hence reducing the amount of player/coach directed abuse, beer throwing, swearing, ref-baiting, etc.

It'll also lead to a far more family-orientated atmosphere as Mum and Dad coming along will mean they'll have to bring the kids too, or leave them with Grandma. Or perhaps Grandma could tag along too?!

One loud and lairy lager drinking bloke becomes a nice quiet family of 5 each buying hot dogs, hot chocolate, Salford shirts with names on the back, jester hats, etc.

Or maybe the club are far less devious that I suspected, and none of that had crossed their minds?!?

I would have thought that, unless there's a covering letter giving more details, the pack will be a printed version of what's online - it was like that last year (y'know, the one that metioned the commemorative shirt 17 times

).



Can't rememebr exactly but I think I paid about £6/7 as a season ticket holder.

What about those people who dont have a significent other (male or female) and go in groups of friends to the games?? They are clearly being isolated unless there's some kind of single person membership to be announced at a later date.

Co-habit

could do with a good student deal seeing as we have all the university students on our door step as the student deal is for school/college age group.

Im not living with GT for all the tea in china!!!



And it states on the bumph that family consists of mother, father and children all living at the same address - doesnt include, or doesnt appear to include, people sharing a house

Season tickets delivered to your address, in the name of "Mr & Mrs G.T. Ordsall-Red" should do the trick?!



You'll even sound quite posh with a double-barrelled surname like that!

There is a single person's membership - it just costs the same as a family one.
