Quote: Moonlight "No given an ordinary season with a settled side, but with a good few years of turmoil behind it Doncaster RL is not a club IMO that folk are prepared to gamble on a season ticket, whatever the price. I will not be buying a season ticket and will take it game for game. That is the whole point, why set the matchday senior price at a level that is off putting to the hardned fans who think likewise, never mind the casual fans that may decide to come down if the team performs accordingly. The club is not a charity I grant you, but neither are the bloody long suffering folk who have been there through thick and thin. The club needs to be a trusted organization and overpricing its OAP fans ain't doing much for that trust.'"
Quote: Moonlight "I suppose the season ticket price (adult) awards the faithful.'"
The reduction in Season Ticket price as against the total of paying at the gate per game is indeed a reward for the 'faithful' but it also gives the Club money up front which is clearly advantageous to it.
The point being made is that more and more people have sadly lost faith in the Club to see out any season without some sort of problem and therefore feel that in the event that they may miss a game or two due to holidays, the benefit (for them) is not worth the gamble of paying up front.
(That is not a criticism of those in charge now, it's just people have long memories).
As we have been told that the Club has not budgeted for any season ticket sales, just 350 Adults and 100 children at the gate then Season Ticket Sales would indeed be a bonus to the Club assuming the other targets are met.
It does however pose a question ... Is it 350 paying full adult price or a percentage paying the OAP price?
