Last seasons parking was only for league games. Extra for cup games

Ticket sales will get a big boost when we announce the next big signing

I can see the logic to some extent, but what happens if we don't get a home tie, it's what it is really maybe they've just gone up in price, I never really thought about it till I read RW&B and EW discussing it.

I can see us bringing in 1 or two yet. If we do bring in another player or two I expect they will be players who will add to the starting line up.

They've said a number of times that this is the squad we are going with.

Of course it is

Positive as always Wollo. When have we ever sold a third more junior tickets than adults?

Also, they've been on sale for 10 days. I wonder how many we sold after 10 days last season? I haven't got 4 for my family yet, and I know a few who haven't gotten around to it yet, so there's time after the original rush.

After the surge of interest last season... the current malaise is disappointing... I don't buy the sky scheduling thing... if you want to do something, then you make the effort and DO IT!...

ah but I can now stay at home with a mug of cocoa and watch from my armchair... or meet my mates at the pub and watch the game free. That's the real reason.

the only way to counter that is the equivalent of Bull Mania where people want to be at the venue... ME did that really well at the Grand Final.

I still think we will have well over 4000 members by the start of the season... but that could well blow out as the excitement builds.

I appreciate it would be nice to sell zillions of season tickets, but let's not get too hung up about it. What's more important is how many people we actually get at all the games (whether that's advance purchase season tickets, or match day ticket sales). Clubs obviously like to have the money in advance, but match day tickets bring in more revenue.

As others have suggested, there's still plenty of time for sales to increase. Christmas pressies, anyone? And once the provisional fixture list is known, I think more people will buy season tickets. As I said earlier, you have to remember that season tickets this last season were at almost give-away prices, so it's no surprise they haven't (yet) matched those numbers.

(I live too far away to go to anywhere near all the games, but I'll get to many as I can.)

What's the difference so long as they turn up on the day.

Exactly. Both are valid motives. Some will buy when the fixtures come out (what's the point in buying a season ticket if you know you can't make Friday games?), some at Christmas (as gifts and with bonuses). You're right, some might just watch on TV this year, but I doubt that's a huge motivator - watching a game and going to the rugby are two very different things.

Without scrolling back through socials for I think we had sold more season tickets for 2024 within 10 days, but it doesn't take an analyst to know those numbers were inflated by adults just tagging on a free junior season ticket or two on the off chance the kids might want to come to the odd game. And that was a good move last year - Ellis knew we'd have space in the ground, we'd be a winning team so new fans could get the buzz ahead of this season.

But reading through the thread, the 5,700 'sold' last year isn't a great metric to compare by - the 3,850 adults is. Of the 3,000+ sold so far for 2025, we don't know how many are adults, but it's logical to assume the highest percentage would be much more than 70% (as it was last year), because the kids aren't free anymore.

Just to add my 2p, I haven't renewed because I found having a seat in the East Stand a bit of a constraint. When I go with my dad I wanted to sit in there and analyse every tackle, when I go with my mates I want to be in the North Stand jumping about, and when it's just me and the toddler we'll probably stand on the West. I'll probably still spend £300 on tickets.
