Price is the least of the Giants' worries as far as I'm concerned. I've got a season ticket but I will not be going to watch again due to the poor level of entertainment that I witnessed agaisnt Hull KR and Warrington. A number of the players have been quoted as saying the team needs to peak for the playoffs and I suspect that this is impacting on the level of fitness and the intensity that the team is showing. If Huddersfield Giants want me to watch then they have to play to their optimum week in, week out. If there not willing to do that then I have more important things to be doing with my time.

There are a few flyers lying about that nobody reads too! Also the store on 4 has closed down now. Giants tickets are purchased from the new student union near the library

what mostly has or is being said on here now is confirming my origenal point weather its to do with money or entertainment value theres quite a few unhappy people for one reason or another, I will state my origenal post was not to spred negativaty as negatiaty spreds negativaty, but when people are un happy about something but then go home and sulk about it and say nothing ,well nothing changes.it was more my intent to find out how other people felt and hope theres a slim chance theres someone who could posibly voice these concerns to the club or maby even the club myt read whats been said on here. i no over all it seems like moaning but when you care for your team as i do, but can seen blatant flaws mainly in the marketing of the club i believe im within my rites to complain. god knows how many thousands av spent following them to earn that rite.

James Brammer and his team always seem to listen to what's been said, might be worth emailing any concerns, although judging by conversations i've had with him he knows what the problem is and finding a solution to it costs money the club don't have at the moment.

I'm not really interested in football. I'm pretty sure that town carry out a great deal of marketing - can't say I've ever noticed it - don't know when they next play, who they play or how much it is - and that's from someone who visits the stadium a lot! like many people I ignore a lot of advertising - because it's advertising! That's the problem we have to somehow crack!

the structure of the league will be different next season , it needed to be to stop the exactly the above happening

Being someone like I am I've yet to see anyone turn up on the day and walk away due to the price, I have been spoken to by fans querying whether there's a cheaper alternative entrance price and when told no they grumble but still come in!
At the saints game they had a promotion and the promotion price remained for the north lower yet folk paid the extra on the day price rather than the tenner! Despite that being a massively discounted game folk still didn't show in mass numbers! Ok it was the bbc but still two big teams at a tenner was quite a bargain!
Think many clubs are cashing in on pre orders rather than the average walk up fan as we all find prices rise when we go away and yet a family attending an away game would find it relatively cheaper for the adults than our walk up price but then find out the kids are £14!!! So a family of four can pay out around £70 so £48 is quite a difference!! Do we chop the adult price and introduce kids paying? So maybe the on the day prices are in fact paying for the new generation to be allowed in for free! Do we really want it both ways? Would these families still show up if the kids weren't free?

The 'Click and Collect' has been mentioned on here many times since it was introduced.

To the people who are having a go at the club, a serious question, are you willing to help in any way? Perhaps you'd like to join HGSA and help promte the club and raise funds through that organisation? Would you be willing to help them sell some raffle tickets where the first prize is a day with the Sky team at a match of your choice?

You could even put your points directly to MD Richard Thewlis on Tuesday 6th May at Turnbridge WMC when he is HGSA's guest speaker.

Don't be daft Ivor- folk just love a moan. Especially in hudds. They also want something for nothing.

I've offered my services in any way to the marketing team many times, seems though the offers are there to help out they are reluctant to use free labour to promote.

after starting this thred i felt i should have a think about what i would actually do to inprove the situation myself.
my first idea was as you say to use the die hard fans to better efect not to neseseraly use them as free labour but encourage them and help them do what they do anyway but on a bigger scale maby give them some offical tital with benafits rather than pay them a wage. when i was starting out in premoting nyt clubs ect i used enthusiastic artists friends ect to spred the word, hand out flyers ,send emails ect and in return would offer free entry to gigs free drinks or to play there music on my nyts to get them selves seen and herd, this was very efective in more ways than one, people like to feal part of something. i know its on a smaler scale but i think its a good idea,

The club asked for such volunteers a short while ago- one person turned up (think that could have been daz!)

As a ST holder - walk up prices don't effect me but £24 is too much. I pre buy away tickets for this reason and the fact that it helps the Giants by buying through them. But then I am a committed fan and RL would be the last thing to economise on if I had to (except maybe the mortgage as the kids seem to like having a bed to sleep in - strange girls ). I would not be happy to pay £24 away - but would pay that only because I am a committed fan. I certainly would not attend any SL game as a neutral and pay that much - better to go watch the lower divisions, or U19s for my dollar.

I really do appreciate the dilemma for the club though - cheap offers - £10 tickets etc... have not worked and therefore cannot be sustained. It appears that cheaper tickets alone does not equal higher attendances - and so the club makes a loss - or at least makes less than not doing the special offers.

Despite being a SL ticket I couldn't care less how little other people have to pay on the day if I thought that this would radically increase our support over time. Clearly though it is not as simple as that.

Not sure what the club do to encourage the casual or first time supporters along to games, and I am no marketing expert. However I would target big games similar to what Wigan have done in recent years. Let school kids in for nothing, and back this up with a really low price if they are accompanied by say two other adults. We would have to go a long way to get any issues over ground capacity and this would surely give the best possible first impression to those who did attend. It would also help to win the game of course (have we ever won a game where the cheap tickets were on offer?) - then again we could appoint Bentham to Ref as he surely owes us
