Think it'll be basic Reds Membership for me because it's unlikely I'll be able to go every game. £26 for the membership, then £8 a game works out at £130 if I go to every game. The Premier Membership works out at £128.

It's a great deal though, albeit slightly hard to understand at first. Shame they couldn't have announced something at the last game when there were 10,000 there, instead of, according to Facebook, 4000 letters.

Fortunately Iain even I'm not that thick to realise the season/match/pass ticket whatever would be £50! However the ponce that wrote it that way needs a good kicking!

I didn't for one minute then you were, but that's the line that can be used to get round claims of false advertising.

Where in the brochure is the £26 basic Reds membership? I can only see the £50 one, is it me? That £26 one would fit in with what I'd want, but I can't see it,

Re: season ticket for Barton? : Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:57 pm  

£26 is for students and seniors
reading through it again i can not for the life of me think why would anybody pay for Premier membership at £10.33 a month and only get a PAYG card and also pay £13 a match, surely you would get the basic membership? Just seems a strange option.

Re: season ticket for Barton? : Thu Oct 20, 2011 7:01 pm  

Sounds like a good deal to me,i will wait and see what this brouchure says then make my mind up which offer suits me,but its good to see the club are actually doing something at last.

cheers, should've known, I really could do with one of them there student cards, I must have a look at doing a night course at Walkden college!!!!!

The club must make an effort and publicise the student prices throughout the Salford and Manchester Universities, loads of potential fans/customers there, don't we already have links with Salford Uni?

This is a kick in the knackers for those of us with families!!!!
I remember when the club introduced their "Innovative" new family membership scheme a load of whingers on here who go to the match on their own complaining that it wasn't fair that they paid the same membership fee as a family of 4.
Well you've got your wish haven't you! I've just worked out that if I take my wife to the same number of matches as she attended last season it will cost us £40 more this year and that is pay on the day price (£20). If she was a member it would cost £57 more.....DOH!!! How can being a member be less beneficial than not being... I thought it was supposed to attract people by bringing in benefits.

Further more, all those who whinged last time didn't do the maths properly. A season ticket and memership last year cost £180 (£50 membership fee/ £130 season ticket). That's what a person going to the game spent on a seasons rugby. I paid the same, but every time I brought my wife I added an extra £12 into club coffers, I saved a bit, the club got a bit more and the singlton put their money into the pot too for a very good price... everyones a winner. Now I am out of pocket this year while those who go alone pay exactly the same as last year. Let's talk about fair shall we!!!

Family game my ar$e!!!

I'm getting a new student card soon, you can have my old one

Manchester has the biggest student population in the UK doesn't it? I've tried before to get the people at the Manchester Student's Union to do something, but without any success. They advertise special student United and City tickets, and although Salford don't have the pulling power of those two, I'm sure there'd still be a good few who would fancy a trip to Barton. There's plenty of international students (you'd know if you do any sort of engineering/physical science degree, especially maths, blimey) who always seemed to be interested in doing/visiting "English" things, as I suppose I would do if I went to study in a different country. But yeah, big target audience there.

I think we do already have some links Salford Uni yeah, sure there's a few posters on here who study/have studied at Salford too in sports-related subjects.
