What about categorising games, a bit like some football teams do?
Leeds Wigan Saints- cat A £20
Cas Hoods Hulls Warrington- cat B £18
Bulls Catalan Salford- cat C £17
Quins Celtic- cat D £15

Now received the shareholders letter and the last paragraph is particularly galling, for those who have not received the letter it reads as follows :

"The question is are there 500 people out there who have the club at heart. Words are easy, actions are hard, we know we have stood up over the years and been counted. Right or wrong, good or bad, the decisions we have made have been right for the club, now its your chance. What does this club mean to you?"

TR, should hang his head in shame at putting his name to a document including this paragraph. Not only does it repeat the offensive suggestion that if you don't put up a grand you don't care, it jokingly tries to justify his and the fellow board members actions. How can bad decisions have been right for the club?

I wondered why the BOD had not apologised for the situation they have put the club in, now I realise, its because none of it is their fault. Its WDMC, RFL, the fans, basically anyone but them.

We already do, if you look at the silver membership that's how it works

I suggested it as a general pricing policy for all matchday tickets, not just for silver members.

Slugger, (I can't do the paste of your quote thingy) I'm in agreement with you regarding pricing being an important aspect of trying to attract additional fans, but my concern is the protection of the revenue we already get. We can't take the risk of reducing the gate price because we don't have a wealthy backer ala the Wire and Huddersfield (I think this is where we started) for if the new strategy fails - this would put us even deeper in the 'brown stuff'.
However I think the club do go someway towards your point of view with the membership scheme (silver?) costs £30 up front and the ground admission to the games versus Catalans, the Welsh club, Quins and Salford is £10, with reduced admission also for the Hudds game.
(PS Don't quote me on the exact detail because I'm going from memory and at my age ..... ). However I'm in agreement that the marketing of the schemes could have been better as there was confusing detail and I can't find it on the official website!

I'm literally speechless...

look
we have sold approx 500 season tickets on the back of the worst collapse of a season in memory

you could have made them 100 quid each with a free kebab and it would have made no difference to our current plight

the fans were not there at theend of last season, this years squad is not as good..........therefore no upfront cash...QED

It does go some way to explaining though why with Ted at the helm, we don't appear to have paid a tax bill on time for years. He obviously lives in a different world to the rest of us.

Not worded very well is it, will do more harm than good.

I'll not offer any excuses for the wording on the letter and I'm anything but an appologist for the current board but we need to keep sight of the fact that the share offer is a method by which we can safeguard the future of OUR club.

I know its hard but we have to be able to seperate Ted and the board from Wakefield Trinity they are not one and the same. Every fan or potential investor has a right to ask questions and if its a question you need answering before feeling confident enougth to back the share scheme then ask away.

If the money isn't raised by Jan 31st will we go into admin, fact?

clan
genuine respect for you as i hope you know, but the questions are already out there, you yourself have put them very simply as about 4/5 points, and yet almost a week on.....nothing.

and on a couple of points you are incorrect
1 at this point it is not an investment, even the letter to shareholders more or less says that.
2 at this point ted and the board own wtrlc so they are one and the same, especially with regards to debt, owed money, the sale of the ground and any proceeds from further payment from that sale.
please dont think im having a dig and ill return to crap jokes soon, but stand back for a minute as i did and ask if this wasnt a club i loved, would i give a penny??

In terms of what the share offer is intended for I don't think they are, the money will not help Ted & the BoD in any way shape or form unless you include (aiding and abetting their escape) getting them out, It will however help WTRLFC to survive and recover.

I agree Slugger with reducing prices you could just end up reducing revenues with no extra fans.
Re memberships on the websites there is a big button in the top right that says memberships, details are here
