family match day tickets would be excellent, but if any of the three games are altered for sky etc. then that may not fit in with other commitments, a family ticket for any three games would be better (or maybe any class of game) so the ticket wouldn't apply to class A games such as Cas, Leeds etc, where crowds are usually quite good anyway, but maybe for use on any three from five as an example. Catalans, London, Salford, Widnes, and one other !

I don't think we need one. Back the badge that was created by the last lot that ran us dry?

I don't think it was. Back the badge is the new regimes isn't it?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. The "badge" we are "backing" was created by the last regime.

Still not updated on website Michael

1975 sold, about 1000 - 1200 down on last year apparently (and I thought we sold 4K another crock of xxxx from the previous regime?).

Just goes to show that even with a relatively decent team garnered together the Wakefield public still won’t part with their money to support it.

I think the problem is that now early bird discounts have passed there is not a huge interest in taking up season tickets as the saving on paying on the day is no longer that great. With the way fixtures get chopped and changed I suppose people who already expect to miss the odd game or two will now find it as cheap or cheaper to just pay on the day. Hopefully they will still come and do that as opposed to not coming at all.

The ideas suggested earlier in this thread for Family Day Passes, or say 3 games for £50 or 5 games for £80 are good ideas but I suspect difficult to manage from a capacity point of view. I suppose it is doable but you would need to issue tickets as vouchers that need to be exchanged in advance otherwise you run the risk of everyone using them for the same games (eg Leeds/Cas) and then you don't know how many tickets you can sell on the gate.

I guess that's the risk the people who were holding out chose to take.

However disappointing or frustrating that total may be, this goes some way to putting into perspective the financial climate we currently live in:

Not bad, all things considered.

If Salford really have sold less than 2k that really is poor. I suppose they're fortunate their team investment isn't so directly link to supporter numbers as Trinity's is.

Koukash said on twitter earlier this week that they had sold around 2500 season tickets so if correct they have shifted more than we have. From where they were a little over 12 months ago I don't think thats too bad, it will take them time to grow again.

Even given the price rises and turbulent off season to have sold under 2k is disappointing, i'd have thought it would have been more than that by now. 12 months ago we were told it was double that, unless that was wrong. Going by the attendances though it can't have been far off. Hoping for the majority to pay on the day is always a risk and a poor start or some poor weather could hit attendances hard. For me the preferred option would be cash up front every time.

Out of interest what attendances have we budgeted for financially?
