7500 season tickets sold by us? nah... too much apathy towards the giants and even from so called giants fans... you only have to look at comments on facebook when the club puts a story on it... nothing but negative comments.

Never mind Facebook try reading threads on this forum

And listen to the moaning sods on match day

i know of 3 people from work who when asked if they had renewed said
"after that rubbish last season you must be joking"

Meast - bet they'll be back if we had the same start to last season!

think alot will be cherry picking games next season with the season ticket rise..

but they might be tempted to come to more if we have a good run.. so club still makes money and they will be kicking themselves !

I know a couple that said the same thing

Then renewed anyway...

on the flip side i know of at least 6 who said they werent renewing who did so on Friday !

Haha- you see- scared of missing out. New season, clean slate, new opportunities same hopes and dreams!

A friend of a friend has told me sales are about half of last season. IF true I suppose with prices doubling the overall amount is about equal.

Maybe the club will release a positive spin on details next week.

id rather people stop reporting what their mates think

We have had a statement in the xaminer saying sales are good. Friday will have been very busy for them too

"Good" is subjective. I bet if they had sold 10,000 they wouldn't have said sales are "good" they would have said we have sold 10,000 tickets and this commercially sensitive reason doesn't seem to apply to other teams - cas, leeds and wakey have announced how many memberships they have sold. Hull fc and hull kr have said how many tickets they have sold- possibly others but I haven't actively looked for the info.
Lets face it the club never announce the figure because its embarrassing.
Perhaps they should announce it so folk can to be embarrassed into getting a season ticket!

I believe we would have sold a lot more, if they had put the increase up by half next season and the other half the season after.
It has been a big jump from the discounted tickets of the last couple of years and it seemed a big hike in one lump.
Apart from mine and my wife`s ticket I only purchased another 2 for Christmas presents whereas last season I purchased 4.
It would look a lot better at the ground if we had 8000 instead of 4000 for the same money.
Passed the Wakefield advertising board the other day and the are asking £50 less than us for a season ticket.
I know the tickets for the end stand are terrific value, but home supporters like to be side on.
But if I were strapped for cash I would rather take them up than miss out.

Wakefield seated tickets were £175 at there cheapest and are now £225, but you could get a ground ticket for £125- which is very good value- but for that you get a poor view. The main issue is the "membership" that is being offered with loads of discounts for various local business as well as from the club shop and free entry to academy/scholarship games.
It seems that the giants are behind the times with this idea that many clubs seem to be pushing this year- I think that was what the latest survey was in aid of- but the club really needed to give people some incentive to buy given the terrible end to the season the team had.

meanwhile over 20k at the football match saturday...

we just have to go with what fans we have, loyal, they will be there v london for the first home game of the season.
