I just lost the will to live

I don't understand please expain how to post on this board asking for people to pay more to watch the game is any different to asking for people to do a sponsored walk, buy a raffle ticket or throw into a bucket. I suggest you read my original post and answer it or not it doesn't really matter, but to comment that you are losing the will to live suggests that I am some kind of idiot.

I would suggest that not answering a pm offering help would be more likely to make one lose the will.

Tony

I am sure you have the best of intentions but there are a number of reasons why this would not work. The first issue that came to mind is that you are taking away that element of choice from people. No one is forced to put money on a bucket. There would rightly be an uproar if the club hiked prices and crowds would go on the opposite direction to where we want them to go...

Tony I did't mean your post, just whatever I try, someone knocks it, nothing to do with what you said mate.

I prefer to stand when watching sport , yes I would prefer the view from the side of the pitch , but the standing issue trumps it , I think most of the occupants of the north stand are similar to me , they could fit us all in the east or west stands if they so wished , yes your suggestion would in theory give the club an extra £2,000 per game , just as putting up the price to get in everywhere would make the club more money

Unless of course you lose fans because of it , which would probably be the case , had you thought of that ?

I hope the club can continue to finance the rest of this season and the club gets the rewards it deserves "increasing gates and trophies".If this happens the club are well within there rights tho increase season ticket prices and walk up on the day prices for next season and i really think people will pay it if we can continue playing as we are now.

Should the club reach the NRC final then they should allow ST holders first dibs with unlimited tickets, second LISA/Lottery (who will mainly be in the first anyway), followed by general sale. The unlimited tickets ensures friends/families are together and that the best placed seats are with the diehards - it also stimulates demands and gives value to being a season ticket holder.
Next seasons ST's should be at £140, and on sale from October at £20 per month for 7 months. General admission should remain the same - we need to attract more fans - the club must look closely at what it gets from the meal/boxes sales, moving them elsewhere if needed as I understand we get £3/4 at present on a £28 meal and nothing from the bar. I am sure miners/park inn would charge no more than a tenner for the sit down due to bar takings, on 2000 meals a season that brings in £30k+ more.

The Watcher has always been one for looking & planning ahead, for this reason he has maintained the opinion that all 16 year olds& under should be allowed into the match free of charge whether accompanied by an adult or not.
The Watcher also has a quick & simple way of raising much needed revenue,charge £2 for parking on game days, simple.

I may be wrong here mind, but the club wouldn't get any money from parking as it wouild go to the LSV or the council, i think.

What is best for the club mourice,season ticket sales or people who pay on the day?.If its season tickets then the' on the day prices should increase to try to tempt people to buy season tickets.
Walk up prices are to cheap anyway,they should be at least £20 west stand and £16 north stand.
If thats all the club gets for box/meals for match days then i agree the club should be looking into taking this revenue stream elsewere,that price is ridiculouse.

I think if we charged them prices John our attendances would plummet, in my opinion anyway.

those prices and maybe dearer may have to be implemented next year if we are to watch a successfull team

I dont think its expensive ian.
its £20 to go in the new stand at halifax,ther are numerous grounds that charge more than £14 to stand.

Am i right in thinking ther hasn't been an increase in prices since we moved to the LSV?.

If we want to continue to watch quality RL then we are going to have to pay for it,i think gate recipts and ST sales inparticular are the way to go about it.

Then i fear for our attendances next season Fred, most on this board would probably pay it as we are die hards, but the amount of people who say to me when they ask how much is it to watch leigh say what for that division.

Some SL clubs are not that dear though John, £20 i mean.
