I disagree there.

The people who will get in for free will fall into 2 camps - those who come normally and pay on the gate, and those who would only come if its free.

If the latter will only come when its Widnes and free then they're of no use anyway and the efforts spent on getting kids/families in instead, whilst the former could lose the club up to £10k in gate receipts.

Hammering our cashflow against Widnes is financial suicide especially when we've next to no income for 2 months during summer.

And it might also give people a nudge about getting priority for cup finals and the like

A "pro rata" season ticket or "try before you buy" and the like would also work very well, I reckon.

We need a home stand , seemingly adopted the North stand as our own , especially when fans voted for the standing area when the stadium was designed . Definately for bigger games bringing more fans there should be segregation . More often than not we end up with a small amount of away fans in the North stand , most are ok but u always get the odd one or 2 that are idiots , suppose u could say the same for some of our fans .

Am sure we have had this discussion before and with the allocated season tickets for different stands our own fans are bound to be spread out , does work well when our fans in the seats join in with the singing aswell though.

We should give away nowt for nowt, it undermines the product
Like the idea of a rest of season ticket, like the idea of a gameday family ticket, relaunch the U11 season ticket and put a voucher in for a tenner ticket to the Widnes game for an adult.
400 family tickets for the East stand v Widnes at £15, must be with a minimum of 2 kids. Sell them in blocks through junior schools, the 4 schools who sell most get a 'centurions day' when players coaches turn up, take PE, etc

You could be like me who has bought an ST but has to go away working for the next 12 weeks.
In Majorca. I know I said Menorca Fred but it has changed.

Thought 2256 for the Batley game was very good. People are beginning to sit up and take notice again now we are playing well and high up the league. Have to admit last night was my first game for a while after a bout of illness. Thoroughly enjoyed it apart from the worst cup of tea I've ever had at half time. QT is not tea!!!

is there a case for more evening kick offs?.

i went to the park inn for the first time,watched a bit off the leeds game,had a few exellent pints of caffreys then on to the game.
all in all it was a really good evening.

Saturday 6 pm once the clocks go back

This really can only happen if reserved seating was in forced, then the stewards would always be in the wrong!!

Reserved seating actually Lowers the stadium capacity.

Difference is that if you hadn't segregated the fans at Blackburn v scum then we wouldn't have had a stadium the floowing morning.

Evening kickoffs at home even on sundays has got to be a goer. Don't think the opposition would have it though.

I know why it was done but that doesn't matter, its the fact that it can/could be done at LSV without the restriction of having to have reserved seating.

We get little support coming here as it is so I don't think alienating the few that do make the trip is good business sense as I doubt it will bolster the home support unless we kicked off at say 5pm on a Saturday then people can combine it with a night out.

I admit it's better for some people but I stil think the majority would be happy with 3pm on a Sunday.

I agree the widnes game should not be used as a massive discount game,the time to get them interested is building upto the next home game sheffield.As you say the widnes game is the one were the club should get a natural rise in attendance.

Its a pity we don't have regular home games now[sods law] but the club should not rely on away support ,any we get ,should just be counted as a bonus amount.

Maximise our home support first,like maurice said encourage schools with deals for the sheffield games whilst the time frame allows us and I think the family tickets are a golden oppertunity for the club to catch all the lapsed fans from previous years.

The let people in with season ticket holder really doesn't bring in any money
