| The rumours of the restructure were that the championship would be expanded to a 14 team league.
Such a scenario would leave us with at least 13 home games in a season...

| Quote HamsterChops="HamsterChops"Bulls have tweeted to say there will be at least 13 home games included. 13 would be less than this season. It does say "at least" though so it's still only a partial answer to one of the questions that people need answering before deciding whether to buy or not.
Interestingly, Championship 1 teams this season didn't have 13 home games. So how exactly are they guaranteeing that? There's info that isn't being provided, clearly.'"
No idea where they are getting 13 minimum games from?! As you've highlighted no League One team are guaranteed to play 13 home games this season unless they get to the semi finals. With the luck we've had we can't assume we will be in the mix next season. Perhaps they are including a pre-season friendly in with that price?

| At least 13 is accurate in a 14 team league
I'd like to know of the extra 3 or 4 are included if we hit the qualifiers

And if two extra from Champ 1 were added to the Championship, both of those leagues would have 14 teams. Just raises more questions really.

All of which, whilst true, simply adds fuel to the conspiracy rumours - that there are plans afoot about which we have not yet told.
... which begs the question as to why they are selling season tickets. Why not wait until it is announced - presumably after the last game of the season on Sunday, and then start selling tickets when everything is perfectly clear about what the hell we are being asked to buy into?

| Amateurish as per usual. I wouldn't trust the club with £20 up front at the moment, never mind several hundred.
Although I was always going to see how I felt about things in the new year so it wouldn't really matter what was released as far as I was concerned.

| I'm going to buy one..why not?
its easy to sit here and criticize and be negative, if you put money in it gives them the tools to work with and build.
I don't care whether we are in L1 or the Championship as long as we have a squad that is good to watch.

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"
It's far from a direct comparison, but Huddersfield is all seater and you can buy a season ticket for £299 to watch all the Premier League clubs including Man U., Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and all the rest for £299. There are 19 regular season home games so that works out at around £15.73 a game.
.'"
Huddersfield Towns central funding won't be £75k though
So i'm guessing we're in a 14 team league. That's either an extended championship, or a reduced L1 with teams merging (which is also heavily rumoured)
Regarding people buying tickets. There is obviously going to be a shouting match between those who think everything is rosy, and those who are just commenting on every negative aspect. They will be a lot of "what the hell do people want, get behind your club" and the " why aren't tickets cheap. Why have we signed that player, he's crap"
I get people not buying tickets when they don't know what league or structure we will be in. It's farcical. I think this is more to do with the ineptitude of the RFL rather than the Bulls this time. One thing i don't understand is fan complaining about price (some, who are also the same fans who complain if a crap player re-signs) Yes we're down a league, but we're also running an academy and trying to sign up a decent squad. Some fans seem to want to pay peanuts for an ST, but also have Chisholm, Oakes, Sironen signed up and releasing Mendeika, Thomas etc. We can't have both when we are getting £75k central funding. If you want to see HG players like Butterworth, Oakes, Kirk playing along side Chisholm, then the money has to come from somewhere. We haven't a Koukash. I'm more than happy to pay the prices as a long as we get a decent squad (which has got to an unexpected positive start)

Bit harsh, when we were, in fact, getting 4000 of "some fans" despite them paying top dollar for 2017.

Yep, me too. I don't care what league we are in, who the owners are or what the team looks like. To me, I will support the club through thick and thin. I don't judge others on their choice but this is mine.
Now, the sensible part of my brain will make sure I buy it using a Credit Card so that if the e hits the fan again, I can claim my money back. This way I know I'm supporting the club's current cash flow with the knowledge I'm protected.
Can understand why folk would say I'm not going to bother with next season as I've had enough, but really don't get why you would hold off thinking the club will fold.

| I'm going to throw my money in. Like last year. I can afford to lose it, so it puts me in a minority I know, but without the cash the club will fold...again. I hold no grudges against anyone who isn't going to buy in but I honestly don't think we are being ripped off by the owner(s) this year at least. There is no way in hell they turned a profit.
