Quote snowie="snowie"as you have pointed out earlier in the thread clubs are trying to find ways of improving income, the was told at the supporters trust meeting by James that the way this offer works is based on a aussie club who has a if I remember right 30K season ticket holders but don't get that in the gate.
it works by being cheaper to allow games that you miss hence the low price that we have this year,
could you imagine the fickle fans that say they care about their local side actually getting on board with the idea. we would have the same as the Bradford Bulls did last season and is going to do the same same this season
The idea is right we just now need to convince the Wakefield public and like what has been echo'ed so many times on hear just get the promotion right we are not that far away'"
Some of the wakefield public such as me and my partner wanted to order season tickets at start of september when we got paid however couldnt afford to pay £200 for the 2 tickets then part way through the month the cost was allowed to be split between 2 payments but by this time we couldnt afford so now we will just be picking our matches as payday isnt till the first fri in october and we can't sign up for the offer now.
People are on here slagging people off over not buying the option when for some people they simply cant afford.
So instead of watching all the games and spending money in the bar, club shop and on food we will watch maybe 5 or 6 games for the season as we wont have the cash to spend every time we go.
This is a situation that i know is quite a few people I work with are in, they missed the chance at beginning of september due to paying for money on credit cards etc spent over the summer.
They want to sign up but the cut off date means that they cant.
Why not extend the offer by a month allowing more fans to sign up, reach the target and make everyone happy. Surely more people at games buying beers, food etc will make the club more money in the long run!! Just a bit of common sense.
Mind you common sense and wakefield dont always mix well!!
