I don't have time to get there - the app is no longer selling them - and the club website ticket purchase option is not working.
Sorted now.

Steady on, no criticism of your crowds now was there? Just a observation about a relativity "empty" stand. Don't be so prickly

I know exactly what he was getting at!!
The fact is we STILL get bigger crowds than you and any Wakefield fans having a pop at Huddersfield's crowds are a little bit stupid, if you were getting more than us then fair game but you get LESS than us, but then again you lot probably don't actually realise this otherwise you'd be a bit daft to try take the pee !!!

Is that £12.50 or £125 ??
As I said, the cheapest tickets in SL by a country mile, it's like you still feel hard done by, mind you, it is to watch Hudd-Shefficon_lol.gif
Strangely, the other half of your club (Sheffield Eagles) charge £195, you should have mopped up their fans, no problem

The place is empty!

Thought I read you were selling season tickets cheap again this season, cheapest in SL.

Are you ok hun?!
You've shot your bolt here - I was actually referring to the fact that I dislike large, soulless, empty football stadiums for watching RL; which is what you have.
You may apologise in your own time.

That was just embarrassing. Even our ground has more self respect.

I just did a search and it appears they were £139 so you're right not quite £99 but at less than a tenner a game you'd expect to have a fair few take you up on that offer.
£21 to buy a ticket for tomorrow on your website right now so a season ticket effectively gives you 50% of your games for nowt.
Frankly, I don't really care how many you get compared to how many we get. What I care about is how much revenue our ticket sales generate to fund our team because we don't have someone with very deep pockets keeping us afloat.

I detest the sale of low price tickets with a few very targeted exceptions. All it does is cheapen the product and causes people to under value it.
The whole idea is flawed as we ourselves found out. If you value a game at £12 then these 'new' fans believe thats what its worth, why wouldn't they. The minute you raise it to the correct price of say £22they are outraged and won't pay and promptly bog off. Hence you don't achieve anything in the end, its just an illusion.
Trinity's increase in support may be a very slow advance but every fan we earn we earn from and that matters in the long run. The moment Hudds lose their sugar daddy they are in real bother and then we will see the real level of support.
I'm not gloating, I even understand why Hudds do it but they are utterly misguided imho.
School children/Disabled/College students/targeted work forces and perhaps more contentiously ethnic groups, Poles for example for whom the game is not part of the culture.
Thats my opinion and I do believe the last 25 years of SL support me as the other two big freebie clubs Bradford and Keighley have fared none to well.

You don't get bigger crowds than us though, you might sell more season tickets due to your club hugely subsidising them, but irrespective of whether they turn up or not they are counted on your attendance figures, which in turn gives a false representation on your attendances. HTH.

Well I know where the cinema is I’ll try to work the rest out
Someone gave me a couple of tickets for a HTAFC match the other year and couldn’t get parked anywhere.
