I don't know what you're trying to achieve here TBH.

We are offering discounted tickets. We're trying to build our supporter base. We're fortunate in that we can do these things because we have a wealthy and generous backer. From what I gather yours is far from skint either.

We are both lucky.

As I say, I'm not sure what is going on here.

Not trying to achieve anything, and have not made any negative comments about the Giants or their pricing structure. I was one of the few neutrals who was very positive about your announcement of this offer last year.

My entry into this discussion was in response to a comment about Wire's tickets being expensive, when they are comparable with most clubs.

No agenda, no points scoring, just entering a discussion which others steered towards Warrington's pricing, and tbh something I find interesting.

I see nowt wrong with your points Dave, carry on mate

Apart from the fact he is disagreeing with me.



ban him i say



however when i have enough information to show their prices are high i will be back

To us then yes but they seem ok compared to everyone elses which is the point he's trying to make.

Weren't ours about £170 season before?

Aye, I posted that earlier in the thread!

Helps if i read all the thread then



So whats the problem with Dave's posts then, we seem about the same in prices before our cheap one this season?

This board dont half get defensive at times

I think that the discussion i was having not sure about anyone else was about prices for kids ( i do have a vested interest here and do not want Ken getting any ideas or thinking WE MIGHT BE HAPPY TO PAY MORE FOR KIDS

)But we have had cheap kids prices long before this season which is the point i was making.

Wires prices for under 11s are higher than Bradford, Saints, Wigan Huddersfield and other teams.

Saints charge £12 to stand in a dire ground.

Wigan's cheapest Junior ticket is £11

Bradford charge £10 for uncovered standing

Leeds charge £9

Wire charge £11 so are well within the pack, and charge the 'market rate' as I clumsily used before.

When it comes down to it, Warrington and Huddersfield are at different stages of their off-field development. Wire have been fortunate enough to play SL from the start, and have been involved in plenty of junior initiatives to ensure that we haven't needed to give free tickets to juniors as standard.

We have done well in this area, and the value is still excellent, especially when compared to things like Union and Soccer.

I have no interest teaching you basic economics or the recent history of your club. Ask someone who was awake during Deakin's time with the Wolves and you will discover the offers he made with ST that were certainly differnt models, as I stated.

............bottom line ----

As an astute business man Ken Davy took a "calculated" gamble against the general trend to get additional "up front" paying fans bums on Galpharm seats

It succeeded!

On Sunday he releases news on the next chapter of the book - another calculated nusiness plan to keep em there.

Will it workl ??

Definitely Yes in my opinion `cos at the moment hes going to announce it --we`re doing quite nicely

Thats the vital ingredient he needed - and he`s got it!!

In the present economic climate ( take hon mod for one - and he`s dedicated) Ken would have had a tougher decision making the next step if we had just been mid/lower table and out of the cup.( but I`ll put money on DG being on the terraces again next season whatever!!)

Fortunately for the club it appears that presently the "selling price" is the major hurdle to overcome --the product is a good one!

This is sound reasoning

My take onit for what its worth is that you cannot keep the prices so low you have good but expensive squad. This needs paying for and Davey will want to contribute as low as possible with the Giants doing well now is the time to break the news about increases but if you think/believe it will be only a low raise I think you could be in for a shock, I would expect them to be good value but a significant increase all the same.

See if it works.
