| It is a little to early for predictions granted given that player recruitment is far from complete, but I would not be surprised if the 2015 season was to end.
1) Bradford
2) Leigh (Not far behind)
3) London
4) Featherstone Rovers.
5) Halifax
I would hazard a guess that I will not be to far from the mark.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| £ 20 to stand and watch Leigh play at Iconic Odsal next year ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Well I'll be paying it. It's one game that you will have to do it. I really don't think that £20 is a lot to watch the quality of RL that I have witnessed this season. Having said that it would have a dramatic effect on our crowds if that was the price at Leigh.

| They charged £20 this season and would fully expect them to at least be slightly reduced next year. Not that much more than a lot of clubs in these league anyroad, including ourselves.

| Have we announced admission prices next year ? I would reserve judgement until then. I would imagine we wont be far behind if I am honest.
Afterall we fans all wanted a full time squad this year to give us the best possible shot at it. It therefore needs to be paid for. It does not come cheap even with some prize money thrown in.
The question is are all of our fans prepared to share the burden with the board of assembling an ultra competitive squad?
From the lines of this thread I conclude some are not.

| Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr " in terms of numbers 3,500 season ticket holders @ £280, is no different to 7,000 season ticket holders @ £140 in terms of revenue.'"
What you're not taking into account is all the (significant) ancillary benefits of having a bigger fan base - more programmes, more lottery, more LCTV, more merchandise not to mention a stronger base to attract sponsorship.
If I had to choose between 3500 @ 280 versus 7,000 @ 140 I cannot see a good reason for the former. The only possible reason would be to maintain your branding status as a premium attraction. However, I am not sure that concept particularly applies in RL!

| I would agree with you, double your fans and maintain revenue.The more people in and watching your Rugby League club is crucial.
However if you only attract 6000 fans @ 140 then what then ? Secondary spend does not really cut it when you are already 15k+ down before a ball is kicked. Season will be almost over before you recoup it in hot dogs.
Just goes to show you need to be absolutely bang on when determining your price point.

Have you got a problem with people who have less money than you, I don't like your inference. I will make my own choices in life, and it will always be to support our board before Bradfords....and yes I think you should apologise for your crass statement.
I will not build up any debts of my own to help anyone, if I can't afford it I won't pay it

| I apologise for any offence caused. That was not my intention. I certainly have no problem with anyone who has more money or less money than me.
My point is that comparing our admission prices this year to what other clubs have announced for next year is simply not comparable. The reason being that I would realistically expect an increase to watch Leigh next year. The wider issue is how much of one and will our fans support it given the squad being assembled. I am not sure.
Having re read my post I apologise once more as it did not come across very well.
