Silly question that we don't have 25,000 fans, but it's a fair bet that unlike your club, at those prices we would sell more than you. |

| Quote Jo Jumbuck="Jo Jumbuck"I am first and foremost a fan of League and have been for well over 60 years, The last 30 of those i have been a supporter of Fartown and then the Giants. If i never went to another game i don't feel i owe the Giants or any other club anything and i surely don't have anything to prove.
The reason i am waiting to see what changes with the club is because i am not prepared to keep buying a season pass for a team that never progresses, I don't know why nothing changes, for all i know everybody may be doing their job to the best they can, but something needs to change down there because something is not working and it has not for a long time.
So for me this season is the straw that broke the Camel's back, If i don't like the look of things i won't buy a ST, I'll pick the games i go too and I'll watch the games on Sky. I totally understand your reasoning but it just won't work for me anymore, I have seen too many false dawns but who knows maybe we will get some changes that will finally make a difference, I hope so cause i want them to be successful as much as anyone else, I just have this horrible feeling that nothing of any note is going to change, Iv'e already had my letter inviting me to renew my ticket, but i'll be waiting to see what happens.'"
If everyone was like you, there would be no season ticket sales, therefore the club would not be able to invest in new players. But we have good young players coming through also who are worth watching. Winning at all costs is not the be-all and end-all of watching sport. You my friend can not be called a supporter of the Giants if you are picking and choosing games to watch, a supporter supports through thick and thin not just when the going`s good. |

| Quote fartown since 1961="fartown since 1961"I have only one slight negative with this.
Whilst I will pay the £149.00 this season, I will be 64, it seems a bit obtuse that from 16 years old I and many more older than me have paid either full price at the gate or in most seasons bought a full price season ticket whatever the price and it has fluctuated.
My argument would be that the 65 (not me this season) and overs should also get the £80.00 ticket as the current generation have no more and in most cases a lot less disposable money than people in their mid to late twenties and between thirty and sixty five.
I think the offer is very fair for the majority but for the over 65’s if the aim is to get numbers in the ground the club has missed a trick as many older fans come as a couple and there’s a big difference between £160.00 for two people and £298.00 when in a lot of cases pensions are the only income.
Seems daft but we could lose as many as we gain and surely we should reward those who have been coming for many years and supporting the team?'"
Well me and the wife go and we are highly delighted with the price of the tickets and we are both 75 years old, our prices are way lower than all the other clubs, and appreciate the prices Ken has produced. I know we get no age concessions but it is acceptable with these prices. I would say that over 20s are well capable of paying our prices though as income from working is far greater than the pension. It`s an absolute give-away for 20 - 30s. |

Maybe you should change your name to Thewlis cheerleader.
What I find really interesting about the likes of spaines jools and Scorpio is that despite alll the value points made by posters about how bad the club is run or criticising the organisation or the poor recruitment all they come back with is that We are proper fans you are not a fan because you are not as loyal as us.
All said in a slightly superior tone.
You are not supporters or fans you are just cheerleaders who blindly accept the crap that you are served up and then blame other supporters for not being as loyal as you.
The question you need to ask is why is the club doing so badly ? why are fans leaving in droves ? and why do you celebrate when others are critical of the club and move away from the club.? |

£80 for a season ticket yet you charge away fans £26 for a single game, disgraceful.

It`s the must win at all costs mentality that matters for crowds nowadays, and you say we accept the crap served up. Well it was an edge of the seat finish to the season for 5 clubs, and our crap kept us up as we bet Wigan,Cas,Catalan Salford and Hull twice, and 3 of those teams are in the play-offs, so that is not just cheerleading as you say but genuine club support, when the team are busting a gut to do their best, also hampered by injuries for the last 3 seasons at the start of the season hasn`t helped.
And you say crowds leaving in droves, this is not true and we are holding steady. For the last game against Catalan who brought no fans we had 5200 or there abouts. On the other hand Wigan play-off game only got 5400 give or take a few, that is a second in the league team, so all clubs are suffering from dwindling crowds, but we`re not doing too badly overall. It is costing Ken Davey enough without bankrupting the club bringing in marquee players. The club bring in what they can afford and have to rely on academy lads coming through.
And I think you can call me a genuine supporter as I have followed them for 55 of my 75 years, and we didn`t have cheerleaders at that time. |
