| Quote: 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.?

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.

so This season I’ve been accused of blindly following the club and not being loyal as I’m critical of the club- so I’m not really sure what the reality is- I’d say probably In Between, in that I criticise or praise where I see it’s due.
You are making things up Durham- I have never ever said anything about me being more loyal etc etc. I challenge you to show evidence of your accusations.
What I find really interesting is that it seems to me you get a joy out of being grumpy.
In answer to your questions;
There is more than one reason, I don’t have time to discuss the last three years all over again. In case you hadn’t noticed they are all across the fake and the giants are not unique in this- it’s a general trend even in clubs who win.
I don’t- again I challenge you to provide evidence of me celebrating.

Yeah- you said you were going on holiday to japan! Again prove I’ve either said I’m more loyal or have celebrated people moving away from the club- both things youve accused me of!
Ps I’d more than happily see you move away from the forum because your constant whining is a bore- different thing entirely fella.
You just seem to have a bee in your bonnet and I do wonder is it because you met with RT and he didn’t take on board your ideas.

| All this Tripe because i said i would wait to see what changes took place before i renewed my season pass.
Is this still a forum or is it the 4th Reich. The way things are going you'll be able to count the number of posters on one hand soon.

| Quote: Giantscorpio "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.'"
Ok my friend if you say so. I suppose for the last thirty years i have been buying tickets I have just been pretending to be a fan, Maybe if i sign some sort of contract to say i will keep buying one till i die and make provision in my will to support the giants after i,m gone you'll be happy.

Spot on giantscorpio two decisions to be made ,buy a season card or don't buy a season card.Problem solved.I am proud to have been a supporter of The Giants Fartown Barracudas call them what you will since the 1949-50 season,sitting on the same row is another guy who has been a supporter since the 1947-48 season yes we have a moan about things but the simple truth is we love the game of rugby league and in particular The Giants
Forget the price and get your card renewed your club needs you.

Between £250 and £400 depending on which part of the stadium

Precisely, therefore buying a Giants season card is a steal at £149, and mindblowing at £80 for under 30s.

At those prices it looks as though the club is trying to buy season ticket holders and you still cannot get a decent crowd. If I remember rightly my grandson aged 22 was charged £24 at the turnstile this year.
£24 for one match, £80 for a season!
