Quote: mwindass "I thought we'd here more from the club too, be it a re signing or a new player.
The £5 key worker scheme is good, but I thought we'd do more to try and get people in.
Contact the people who had passes in 2020 but didn't renew and offer them discounted tickets?
We need to get back as many lost fans as possible.'"
Giving away cheap tickets never works medium or long term, never has and never will. it's a loss the club/Pearson can ill afford, either people want to spend the money to watch a game and support the club or they don't. In these times I think giving away cheap tickets is not the right thing to do.
IMHO the club (and RL as a whole) should stop devaluing the sport and not offer any discounts at any events excepting for bulk purchasing a season/full membership or when you pay a fee in advance for that to be used in exchange for a discounted ticket with a general membership
I'd go even further and say 'OAP' discounts should be removed, the % of full price ticket payers bracket on low incomes/lower disposible income are significantly higher than that in the non working/'OAP' age bracket.
If we're offering discounts on the basis of affordability/to encourage punters through the gate, it should be based on income not because you happen to be over a certain age, certainly no discounts because you happen to work for a certain organisation or government department.
