Friday the 13?

Bongser's gonna have the same problems as WYSIWYG. He'll see most second halves with a beer in his hand in an Athy pub, but not much at LSV unless he can manipulate the work rota.

10% off any ticket not bought on the day, including tickets sold through other clubs.

Assumed so, thanks for the clarification. I’ve not looked at ticket costs for our away days but would imagine that they would all be around this mark give it take a few quid here and there.

In fairness, WYS, we didn't even fill the place for the free entry promotion party against Batley in 2016.

£27 pre-purchase is still up £4 on most games last season even though we have the full central funding this coming season. Forget visiting fans for a moment. The problem is attracting inquisitive irregulars from these parts - impulse attendance on the day after sniffing the weather will not be encouraged by a £30 price tag!

If we assume that the majority of the home supporters will be "card-carrying members", would the club be financially better off with 1,000 stroll-ups @ £30 or 2,000 stroll-ups @ last season's price of £23?

£30K or £46K + an extra 1,000 engaged fans?

Yes the stroll-up numbers are randomly picked but the point is still valid.

When Bongser can get to a home game, he'll stump up the £30. He'll save the extra £7 and more easily by being "barred" from The Legends' Bar before and after games!

I checked the Pies website and the touch lines seats are £30 at Pieland Stadium. I guess that is the market we are in. I did gasp at £30 but somehow £27 seems more reasonable.

Take your point B&B but we have a far superior team this time round. I reckon they could have averaged 7-8000, especially with players like Ipape, Amone, Asiata, Ferguson and Lam.

Will this new price plan entice or deter those lost fans who only watch us when we get to SL, plus visiting away fans. I think a lot of away fans will stay away.

I just think they could have come up with a fairer price. Some years ago, I did a small bit sponsoring at Leigh but I went for looking after the supporters. For 3 away games, I put on 1 free coach for supporters. I always believe if you look after your customers they will keep coming back. Sadly, in today's world, most sporting clubs would rather look after their corporate guests than real supporters. I understand it, it's a business and DB is a very successful businessman who is bringing the good times back for which I applaud him. He is looking after corporate and young new fans which will obviously ensure future growth. I will have to wait for my crypto coins to take off then I can buy the LSV!! Watch this space lol
