economic climate was same last year, drop is therefore a true one

Yer but the Tories are in charge now Dave...

Whilst it won't be good for the club economically, I think a drop in season pass sales will put a bit of pressure on the club to perform on the field.
After the last few years of dour rugby, that won't be a bad thing.

i think the club will get around the 9k mark in season tickets ok its dissapointing to drop a little but aslong as we keep around the same attendence figures and maybe improve a little then ill be happy

how can we moan about a small drop in season tickets, there is another 5 or 6 clubs who would love half the amount we sell

5000th pass holder will recieve



Bit of a poor show from the club, the people who renew year in year out miss out on the chance because they got their passes early. I know they are doing it to boost sales but it is a bit of a kick in the teeth for the ones who bought early.

Club apologists get ready!!

Surefire sign that sales are down sufficiently on last year to make them concerned about it

I agree they are sounding a bit concerned now.

no surprise after the lack of a new half-back, the recession, the disappointing end to the season, and the general lack of faith in Agar.

If we hadn't splashed out on Westerman I reckon sales would have been even slower.

Pass sales were always going to be lower this year. A few factors

1, No success on the field
2, No major signings
3, Poor style of play
4, Poor coach
5, Financial climate
6, No backup halfback for the umpteenth year running

I like the financial climate one.

The apologists speak of amazing value of passes, £17 a game, they refuse to acknowledge the £24 gate price.

Do people think passes are not bought so people would rather pay £24 on the gate?

And as for lack of success, people were creaming their kegs saying how good the season was compared to 2009. We have progressed, just a little.

If we had gone backwards i could fully understand a 10% drop in sales.
