The Touchdown Club have been in discussion with the Centurions since the end of the season and (more recently) LSV.

The 2013 scheme has now been agreed and has been ready for launch for over a week, which is about a month later than we would have hoped.

The Bronze and Silver packages have been merged for the simple reason that there were only 7 silver members in 2012 however there is more being offered to bronze members this year such as a Touchdown Club Shirt, matchday hospitality, and obviously the additional home games.

I'm not sure we can release the costs just yet but I can catagorically confirm they are NOT £30 per month. Adult concessions will still be available.

We'd love to tell you more, honestly, but we can't just yet. Hopefully over the weekend we'll get the nod to proceed.

Im considering cancelling my silver membership.poor communication , no idea whats happening re charges this season,

Far from it Wayne.

Hopefully all will be revealed by Monday.

Thanks.

I have had an email telling me that the cost will be £30 pcm.

I didn't know anything about the scrapping of the Bronze ,only email iv'e had is one saying sorry for not getting any news earlier this year so yes bad communication . I am getting the regular ST for next season so still supporting the club .

See above Jake. Its not £30. It was discussed along with lots of other things but its not £30.

To be honest mate this is what happens with word of mouth, we've been biting our lips for a while now, itching to let people know exactly where we were up to. We'd love to have rolled this all out earlier and believe we have been in a position to do so for a number of weeks.

However, for many valid (and constructive) reasons we've not been able to which has been frustrating for all concerned. I wont bore you with all the ins and outs but everyone concerned have been pulling and pushing it.

Bronze isn't scrapped, it's just merged with silver (and improved) for the simple reason there were only 7 silver members so it didn't make sense splitting the two again. There's no ulterior motive and I state again, it's not £30 either.

The various emails etc throughout the year were done, but there have been numerous 'technical' issues shall we say over the season which we hope will improve.

Regarding the comment about it being badly run, the TDC generated around £30k with a good profit margin. The 'elite' Gold members, who are fans like the rest of us, coughed up a large amount of money themselves to subsidise the fans travel to Featherstone, and raised almost £5k from the bike ride and summer ball.

We've always said that people are more than welcome to come and help, we're fans too so there's no them and us. Trevors door is always open and Keith will answer any questions too.

i think if anybody can afford the t/d club then give it a go, hopefully this next season they will have ironed out the teething troubles.

I look forward to this announcement,and my tour of the stadium,newsletters ,touchdown club draws,and reduced dvd prices!!!!!!

If the 'word of mouth' dig was at me, as I suggested it first I can forward you the email conversation I had this week with Alan Platt, who told me Bronze was being scrapped and it would be £30 PCM.

Communication seems to be the TDC's biggest issue, it needs sorting as it's such a good concept.

re the sadium tours mine was cancelled twice.

I didn't know anything about a stadium tour, and didn't get any information from anyone throughout the season.

This is copied directly from the email from Alan Platt.

Many thanks for your email.
The costings for next season will be £30.00 per calendar month.
Bronze members will be brought up to Silver members, and we will have concessions.
We will have a members shirt included, as yet we have to decide what designs etc.
If you want I can arrange for you to collect your season ticket. Please let me know.
All should be confirmed later this week.

The lack of communication has been an issue and certain things promised didn't happen albeit through teething problems .I found out about one of the meals from another member otherwise I would have been non the wiser . I am not however finishing with the TDC just for those reasons but it has helped in my decision to go back to the regular ST .I hope the TDC goes from strength to strength as it is a good concept but I find it is not for me .
