I've just posted on the Agar debate thread that I won't be renewing my pass next year. We save what amounts to 3 games by getting a pass which IMO only represents good value if the team offer value on the pitch. Based on what I've seen this year I'm going to keep the cash in my pocket and wait and see what we perform like, if we play as we all hope then I'll glady take the hit and pay for the additional 3 games (either that or watch 3 home games on Sky) at the end of the day I'm not gambling £185+ on us playing like we have for the last three years again. I completley agree though that for what they cost the kid's passes are a no brainer

i watched most games in the 60s and 70s,they didnt always put the effort in.there has been some displays this season where the effort hasnt been there,i will agree,but i dont think you can say that about the last games.unlucky last week with 12 men with total effort.last night i dont think the effort was as good as last week,but the main problem last night was as as been all season the inability to score points.we do lucky poor with ball in hand.you always know in any paasing move we do someone will either make an awful pass or the ball will go down.its very laboured at times.

But they comes a point when people just dont buy the spin anymore. They lost me as a passholder two seasons ago and now im thinking of knocking more games on the head with looking at a 25 quid entry fee (Thats a tenner more then Wigan). I love the club too much to stop fully going but the amount of games Ive slashed down to is unforgivable considering I was a 20 plus games supporter not so long back.

I dont think pass sales will be down gone are the days the faithful dictated what happened at the club. We are happy to just sit there and accept mediocrity.

Fair enough. 3 free games, plus the CC game, plus halfprice at the Magic weekend, plus the players BBQ event, means that we feel we get value for it. Personally I prefer the big one-off outlay after Christmas than shelling out every other week, but I understand completely that some like to pick and choose, particularly with holidays etc. I'm also hoping we get a decision on alcohol in the stands before season passes go on sale so I can move if it's re-introduced.

Don't include me in your we. I don't accept mediocrity but I know without my support and those like me my club is finished. I don't want that so I support it through thick and thin.

Well said!

I completely agree which is why we've had passes for the last 8 years. To be honest I forgot about the CC game and we've not taken advantage of the MM or BBQ vouchers.

I personally just feel that this is my year to make a stand, as I said on the other thread I don't want the club to be worse off in fact I'd rather a few thousand fans followed the lead and didn't get the passes but ended up going anyway because the rugby is to good to miss. That way the club get the warning but end up being better off due to the extra being paid in walk up's (everyone is a winner). The club gets a fright and realise the can't take the pee and we get great rugby to watch

. In an ideal world obviously.

lol you should of just stuck with the first one

I am and will.

Boards realise this and will make changes if they fear losing money, especially a profit making one.

Not being able to go all the home games we do not buy Season Tickets. But from talking to friends and relatives, it seems a lot of people receive the Season ticket and/or shirt for a Christmas present.

The last two seasons have sold a lot of tickets with the signing of big name players. (the Crocker fiasco didn't really come to light until after most Season Tickets were bought) So as Mrs B. says (third time I'm agreeing with her in the space of a couple of weeks!!) the board need to come up with something/body to grab the imagination.

The only way things will improve, is for the board to act on their sound financial state and invest in either a Coach with more experience and ideas or players that can really lead on the pitch (like Richard Swain did)

P.S. Sean Long's autobiography is out in paperback now, updated since the hardback edition.

I threw that one, on the way home from Cas
