Quote: Bigpev "but that would involve marketing, plus if Wakefield get 8,000 for Sunday, about 5,000 would be £10 tickets and 3,000 £6 tickets total take £68,000 for the match multipy that by 13 for the season which equals £884,000 before tax. Can you run a club on that, not when your salary cap is twice that amount, thats why clubs need to charge twice as much to cover playing costs, and get average crowds of 8,000 as well as the TV money and sponsorship, so it is a tight budget.'"


New Chairman Andrew Glover will be writing a cheque for the difference between the money taken and what would have been taken at full prices, therefore the club doesn't lose a penny of income.

In fact with extra supporters in the ground and the feel good factor created there is likely to be a huge increase in match day revenue from bars, outlets etc..

Get yourselves over because for a tenner the atmosphere will be electric and despite your misgivings about SM you have a good chance of winning in this game.

I agree to a degree but 8,000 fans paying a tenner is better for the club than 4,00 paying £20 (twice as many walking-adverts for the club, twice as many people buying refreshments, twice as many merchandise sales and, perhaps most importantly, a better atmosphere at games which improves the experience and hence encourages even more fans).

The issue IMHO is whether we (or even Wakey) can get 8,000 people to pay a tenner rather than 4,000 people to pay £20. My concern is that we'll get 4,000 at £20 but only 6,000 at £10 and hence lose money icon_confused.gif

Perhaps they should charge £2000 just so they make sure they're not losing anything.

Quote: Fatboys Limb "I am confident that we could double the crowd for any of our games (compared to the same game last season) if we ran the same offer as Wakey are, and promoted it in the same way.'"


Don't underestimate the role that going to the brink of extinction played in the promotion of this game - I'm not sure I want us to try that.

Fair point, don't much fancy that either?!

I did take into account the fact that it's our final season before Barton when making the comment though as I think we will attract more away fans to each game and those figures could be increased even further with a Wakefield-esque offer; not to celebrate still being in existence but as a final chance to experience The Willows, at a reduced price.

Yes, perhaps they should. Another excellent idea. eusa_clap.gif
