It does surprise me how many people seem prepared to pay on the day at inflated prices compared with the cheapness of Season Tickets. You could get a Season Ticket to cover 9 games when you'd be paying more if you attended four matches at match day prices.

It'll be interesting to see if they have the same offer where Season Ticket prices drop, the more that are sold. We've never met the minimum target for a reduction yet though.

What price do you think would be sensible for a Season Ticket?

I genuinely believe the target would get met next season but do the club take the gamble? Just seen batley's Season ticket prices are £110 which for an established championship side is very reasonable so I'd be hoping around £100. With hally stating they will opt for versatile players over big marquee signings it does look like a relegation scrap is what were going to witness.

Done a bit of checking around...

Here are the Championship Season Ticket prices for 2023 in price order, highest to lowest, with finishing positions in red £240
2. Bradford (3) £229.95
3. Widnes (9) £220
4. London (5) £210
5. Swinton (10) £209
6. Halifax (icon_cool.gif £204 (£240 seated)
7. Fev (1) £200
8. York (6) £199
9. Eagles (4) £195
10. Barrow (11) £190
11. Keighley (13) £165
12. Batley (7) £110
13. Newcastle (14) £99 (£149 seated)
14. Toulouse (2) £80

Ten out of the 14 clubs had prices of £190 or more. The two relegated clubs (Keighley and Newcastle) had prices below £190.

With regards to Central Funding, I believe this is allocated on previous season finishing positions. The teams promoted from League One get the least. Dons and Dewsbury getting least this time around. We're bottom of the pile in this department so Central Funding probably can't be used to subsidise Season Ticket costs.

I fear that having a Season Ticket price of less than £200 could mean we are going to be under-funded and may struggle to stay up unless Club Doncaster are prepared to invest a very serious wedge.

Lovely bit of research

Cheers Jemmo.
Like you said before, the club have got a difficult balancing act, especially considering the very low prices last season.

Josh Guzdek has officially left the Eagles.

Matty Chrimes has also been released. Brandon Douglas has left too, signed for Halifax I believe.

Brandon to Fax was announced a couple of months ago. IIRC, the Seagulls threw their toys when it was announced.

No change to the Championship for 2024https://www.totalrl.com/championship-and-league-one-clubs-go-head-to-head-following-restructure-argument/rl

I presume the Dons will be springing into action shortly with regards to Season Ticket prices and signings for 2024.

After announcing the list of players released, the 16 who weren't released are shown below. Consequently, they will either have re-signed or moved on to another club.

Backs
Elliot Hall
Tom Halliday
Misi Taulapapa
Jason Tali
Brad Hey
Ben Johnston
Connor Robinson
Watson Boas

Was Watson Boas on a two-year deal? I can't remember.

Forwards
Keelan Foster
Alex Holdstock
Jose Kenga
Brad Knowles
Greg Burns
Sam Smeaton
Brett Ferres
Loui McConnell

If we're aiming for a 25-man squad, we should expect 9 new faces - that's assuming none of the 16 named above have gone elsewhere.

Boas was contracted to the end of 2024

Certainly fancying toulouse away hopefully next summer!

Dons sign Alex Sutcliffe from Castlefordhttps://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/alex-sutcliffe-leeds-castleford-doncaster-27916164rl

Here's an interesting proposal for the restructuring of the Championship and League One for 2024https://www.totalrl.com/combining-the-championship-and-league-1-and-creating-a-viable-fixture-list/rl

Signings expected shortly avccording to the Free Presshttps://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/doncaster-rlfc-hoping-for-signing-spree-in-the-next-fortnight-amid-betfred-championship-return-4390813rl

Dons are looking to bring in eight new players during off-seasonhttps://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/doncaster-rlfc-beat-off-super-league-competition-to-land-england-capped-ex-wakefield-trinity-star-reece-lyne-4392139rl

So far, we know of Craig Hall, Alex Sutcliffe, Reece Lyne and we suspect Luke Briscoe is coming. That would leave four others that we're not aware of.
