If the club is going back to season tickets they will need to be upfront about where all home games will be played. Personally I wouldn't buy one not least since it is pretty much guaranteed that bigger discounts would come along. Unlike I do with some other sports clubs I support I'm not inclined to see a ST to the Broncos as a donation while Hughes is still at the helm. Also one of the advantages of a ST used to be your allocated seat but finding a decent seat at PL is never going to be an issue.

Yesterday apparently was an improvement on bums on seats, is it possible that was down to the ticket bundle option encouraging a few more folk in?

The Jarrod Basset fan club and the coach load of away fans made the most difference to the numbers yesterday.
If it was the "Ticket bundle", all well and good. |

Then the way ahead is clearly to grow the Jarred Basset fan club as that's likely to be easier.

Extensive poster campaign at Sheperds Bush Walkabout should see us reach 5000 this time next year. |

What are peoples thoughts on this?
Ostensibly a pretty positive and accurate article, however I did find the lines from Mike regarding pathways investment interesting;
"The expense that goes into that is enormous: what David puts into London having an academy would arguably get a Super League team through to a Challenge Cup final in terms of spend. David is pumping what other owners invest all over the club solely into an academy."
I don't necessarily disagree with his point and I think the club can point to success in bringing through our own. Interested to how accurate the comparison is however.

If that statement from Cake is true (which seems rather unlikely to me) then results this season would suggest he is not getting a good return on investment.

Academy and reserves (possibly interchangeable) have been getting pumped this year (you often learn more from a loss but a monstering not so sure) and doesn’t seem to have been a very busy fixture list. With putting younger players out to Skolars now gone (although if the chat was true our request for money for players with limited experience might have done that already) and noting that our recent elevated academy players have mostly had some game time but a move up the table and a more competitive squad has reduced that game time significantly. On paper looks a great idea to invest for the future but the reality this season the pathway from Academy to 1st team looks a little grim. Wonder how many we will give contracts to.

The home game against FC Reserves aside, I haven't seen much of the either the Reserves or Academy this season. There was a young forward playing for us in that match who caught my eye, but I cannot for the life of me remember his name. Tough seasons for both, as you say.
Obvious logistical requirements aside, I'm not sure I see a spend of the scale stated. I would assume we are not paying our Reserve/Academy grade players. |

Can't really see how there can be that much spend!

It's a long time ago now but I knew a lad in the U18's sort of age group (can't remember exactly.) He was on something like £25/week with a £50 win bonus - which he rarely qualified for.
Petrol money basically. |
