saying things like "4 less season tickets" won't help whatsoever and shows the true colours of so called "fans".

And this to me says everything about the sittuation.
Offer a good deal and people expect it as the norm.
The club has got the attendances up past 8,000 regularly on the back of cheap sales, you can here them singing at the top of their voices WTID, how many actually want to stump up the extra though to make us into a bigger and better club???

Absolutely bang on.

Did you get a shiny new season ticket book?
Or just a receipt to say you paid the £150??
I think the club should be working harder to raise revenue!
And not relaying on loyal supporters to bale them out!!
Is this not why we employed fozzy? Or is the money going towards his wages????

You may well be right and four STs equates to a decent wedge, but you make it sound like your punishing the club.
"That's 4 less season tickets we will just pick our games 2014!"
£180 STs are still well under the normal price,

A receipt i would imagine, i cannot think they will have next years STs printed yet???
Loyal supporters have "baled out" there clubs since day dot, the thing is the more fans we have, the less the burden.
The club have done loads to get the attendances/support base up, Glover has chucked his own cash in (and he isn't a loyal fan), when are the supporters expected to do their bit?

The new supporters only have to add up the gate entry price and times it by thirteen to see that it is a good deal, they don't have to be Carol Vorderman.
Of course they will, but how many will drop out just because they think its too much when in real terms it is still well under the price of a ST elsewhere in SL.

Which is why you have to only gradually increase the price (£30 a time max) and give people as much chance as possible to take advantage of the offers. Give them an excuse not to the chances are they won't.

Whether its a case of can't pay or won't pay, what has to be done is every chance given to people to pay. A fortnight doesn't really do that and then people feel put out so they don't pay.

Is this a Nick Fozzard idea ? To offer a short notice deal to fans who last season were considered loyal gold club members.

It seems that most would chip in if the deal gave them more notice, is this how to treat loyal fans? who like the club are finding it tough.

Not going to go on and on. Clearly you have your view and I am obviously

but:

I couldn't give a monkeys what the ST prices are at Hudds, Cas, Leeds or anywhere else for that matter. In fact I have no idea what the season ticket prices are at other clubs. I am a Wakefield fan so it is only our ST price that is of any consequence to me.

Just comparing the gate price and dividing it by 13 is quite simplistic. Factor in that scheduling means [unot everyone [/uwill make 13 games, certain games suddenly have amazing offers at discounted prices and that some people prefer not to pay their entry fee one year in advance given a lot can happen in the interim, the value becomes eroded somewhat.

I want the club to have as many season ticket holders as possible, even though the ST price may be relatively low there are knock on effects of game day revenue (ie: I normally buy a couple of pints each game).

FWIW I think it is a fantastic bit of business. You lot have won 4 in a row, very much striving for the playoffs and a big finish to the season, start early recruiting an even bigger fan base for next year, a feel good factor, a winning side & a fair price. If you know you will be attending the majority of home games then you are laughing really. If Cas announced a similar offer i'd be raiding that copper jar.
