Have tried to book season tickets, not getting anywhere, have given up until later. It is only £1200 worth. You can always rely on The Broncos.

Depressing stories already. The current season ticket holders need holding close and to be shown some love but instead it sounds like a bunch are (rightly) alienated over losing their seats for 2017. Why does the club always manage to do this?

EDIT: Facebook suggests a bit of a backtrack on the club's part. Credit for that.

I've just bought our seats and you *CAN* choose your seats for Gold members. The clubs FB page says "good news, gold season tickets will be reserved seating, so that people can still sit together. Blocks B, C and D, and only when booked online. Seats are first come, first served!" Must be thankful for small mercies.

i also booked (easily) and booked seat!!

The club should be commended for releasing tickets so early

And we will have replica shirts before Christmas I expect.

Booked on line which went smoothly. The renewal discount is already applied so no issues, even got existing seat for next year. Heard though that not everyone has been so lucky.

I initially had a problem on Monday booking out tickets for next season. In the end got it sorted, went to book our seats from last season. Already gone!!!!
I am still undecided as what to do. Do I move somewhere else or instead of getting Gold Season Tickets, we go for Bronze and sit in the bar area. Thus saving me £700. Only at the Broncos.

That's the dilema. If I was on my own I would cop the price rise for the 'Gold' area, but as my sons membership has gone up from £60 to £200, I am swaying towards the £99. What I haven't seen anywhere is the cost for a match day ticket in the Gold area ? Also, I am in two minds about player sponsorship this year.

Adult 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone from £195 to £225*.
Concession 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone from £120 to £180*.
Mine have gone from an U12 (£60 for 'seat-in-the-grandstand') but now count's as a concessions this year. A 3x increase*.
Gold U12 with 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone down to £40!
I've stumped up for all of 3 of us as we're a full-time club and expect to contribute toward the costs of being so.

*with the 10% Early Bird Discount

Player sponsorship, now there is another situation where much is promised, yet in my experience, little is delivered.

On sponsorship i was contacted by amanda, agreed to renew, players shirt from this year in the post. All seemed very smooth!

The club always seems able to shoot itself in the foot at any given opportunity, especially disappointing after such a good season on the field. How hard would it have been to allow existing season ticket holders a time frame in which to book their existing seat for next season? We wouldn't have even noticed the 25 - 30% price hike for the Gold Season tickets. But no 'it's first come, first served'. Our seats had gone by the time we'd had chance to log on!

I'm amazed to learn that the new season ticket arrangements hadn't been discussed with the supporters association. The club just seems to show a blatant disregard to fans who've stuck with the club through some very thin and challenging times.

I'm not convinced they'll even be bothered whether or not we renew our season tickets 9still waiting for response to my last email sent 6 days ago), but if we do it will be the £99 ones.

How right you are Essex Rhino. Off the pitch the club are very poor. They seem to do their best to alienate their own fans. They fail to even consider what the consequences of their decisions are. Then when people get uptight over it they, try to cover it up by telling lies. It only makes them look more foolish.
Sometimes I wonder why we stick around, gluttons for punishment I suppose.
