Don't know what has been negotiated Ste. The figure of 'over 50%' was from Trevor, this morning. I believe he is looking at the overall corporate packages. For example, inccluded in the price of a box, are ground admission charges and programme purchases.
If you ask him direct, as we did this morning, he will answer.

The child market is a waste of time, it doesnt bring money. Target people with money.

| Quote: Jimmy85 "I dont think that they will all instantly become hardcore fans, but its a lot easier to convince an armchair rugby fan to come to a live match on a Friday night, fresh after being paid for the week with a full wage in his pocket, than trying to convince one to come on a Sunday afternoon.
I dont think there is that much cynicism in the town in this age group, and I think fridays will suit a lot of people more than Sunday.
Im not asking them all to come and buy the shirts and season tickets, but two hours on a Friday night with a few drinks is a winner in my opinion.'"
I hope you are right , maybe it's just the ' cynic ' in me , but will those armchair w1g4n,saints,wire,leeds fans pay to miss their beloved SL clubs for free ?

Its that simple is it ?

Corporate box is different, I'm talking corporate meals and I really don't understand how approx 120 people occupying 12 boxes can sway a decision of 2300 average crowd?

I quoted boxes as 'an example', Ste. Is the admission price not included in the price of a meal, too?
By the way, amazingly, all but one of the boxes were taken for the Toulouse game, last season.

| The downside of the mixed KO trial is that it will very much have a detrimental effect on ST sales.
Whilst most fans can commit to regular Sunday's and another section perhaps to regular Friday's, considerably less people will be able commit to both for an entire season.
Therefore not many will now be able to justify the upfront purchase especially when you throw in the odd Thursday night game together with the removal of any early bird incentive.
The decision has made what was an already a difficult task to sell ST's (And the TC concept) a much more challenging one.
As alway's I will be looking to get to as many games as I can but knowing I will now be missing an handful of those games I will just pay on the day for the games I do attend.
Sadly I doubt I will be alone with games being played all over the show. I believe it is an ill conceived decision, and I think the club will suffer from it IMO.
Nothing I have read so far has convinced me otherwise either.

That would have been my choice to ' experiment ' with , a couple of ' themed ' nights but without the ' work day ' aspect , also you can go for a slightly earlier start , which means less issues with kids attending

You should ring one or two sl clubs and ask them what else did they do other than swtich to fridays to increase gates.if they target a certain ordiance then perhaps they can help.

It is included Alan trouble is the LSV charged us £20+ which meant we only made the ticket price well actually a little less

| It appears that some fans are really organised, in that they have their Sundays/Fridays planned for months in advance. Is it not possible to plan for some of those weekends, based on the released fixtures, or are things really booked up so far in advance? (obviously I'm not referring to work, as that tends to be outside the control of even the most organised RL person)
