Great initiative. These things are inherently risky, but if you don't try you don't know how successful they could be!

This is a good idea. I don't see any risk with it at all. Season tickets are great if you can sell them but in this day and age when people pick and choose more than in the past this can only be good.

Not sure of the specific game but it was the end of the 2007 season when they brought in the ridiculous franchising (end of automatic promotion and relegation). Sport is about rewarding success and punishing failure. Putting a halt on this made the game pointless to me and was the start of a quick decline of a game which I actually preferred watching more than football.

Id watched Fax up at Thrum Hall for a couple of seasons then stopped when my parents friends (who used to take me) stopped going. I started up again when Fax moved to the Shay and was a regular to home and away games up until 2008.

Totally correct Bubba. Time and time again people have given the lack of promotion and relegation as their main reason for turning their back on rugby league. Now that the principle of p&r is back let's hope that crowds improve as a result. Blue and White hoops back, p&r back and stay away from DR and we're on't right horse! Commercial Inn, Sowerby Bridge. Moorhouses Snow Globe 4.4 % Mmm!

I suppose you could always buy two !

I was looking at it from the club's perspective and its pricing policy.

It's hard to offer a worthwhile discount on just four games.

Brilliant idea, every Fax fan should be buying one as a present to somebody that doesn't go to any games.

If Leigh had brought one of these out, I'd have definitely bought a couple.

That is a superb idea. Financially and logistically not everyone can get a full season ticket so clubs have to be a bit more innovative in getting you through the turnstiles. You're ahead of the Bulls in that respect.

Bulls are on big learning curve when it comes to attracting crowds in the championship. It's even harder if you have no chance of promotion at all for 6 years!

Excellent. I shall be buying one of these!

Well we are riding a wave of optimism on the premise that we might go straight back up. But I agree, if we don't get promoted which is entirely possible, we'll have to work damn hard to keep people coming.
