One of the most basic rules of marketing is KEEP IT SIMPLE!

I've read the information several times and I'm still confused. The IDEA of a year round DD is fine, but I still get the monthly DD coming out £24 cheaper than that of the advertised cash payment of £200 surely that can't be right?

If I wasn't a committed fan, there's no way I'd be sifting through all that confusion, I'd want a ticket NOT a headache!

I also noticed that we are to introduce different prices for different games............BIG MISTAKE in my opinion.

There might be a good deal in there somewhere. I'm sure someone at the design stage thought it was a simple and elegant solution to season tickets. After a quick glance it doesn't make a great deal of sense (On scrutiny it might fall into place) If they are after new fans, confusing and/or intimidating folk with too many options and numbers isn't a great way to start.

It all screams a little too much of 'Look how innovative and clever we are. You should be excited' instead of just, 'Here are our prices'.

At least they're trying.

WTF is that all about? And what have I already been paying for? Does the deal I signed up for not count anymore? Also just worked out that PAYG members have to go to 8 games to make it worth it. So confused!!!!

I think if you have already bought one before the season ticket announcement you are already a gold member...

It's a joke, i think i just about grasp it after 30 minutes of reading. What's with all this membership rubbish why cant they just announce a set price of say £150 adults, £50 kids etc if you want to pay by direct debit then say £10 a month or whatever. All these packages etc just confuse people i have mates who have asked me how much season tickets are if i try and explain that to the i think they just wont bother.

I will be emailing the McNally's tomorrow. I'll let you know if i get a reply i wont hold my breath. Seriously who employes these numpties that run our club.

Is it £50 per person or per house hold for memberships?

Salford do it again.

The way I'm reading it and I betI'm wrong is as follows.

It costs more to pay up front! can that be right?

If you want a Premier membership and want to stand behind the sticks you opt for the free PAYG pass so the total cost will be £130. If you want the match pass allowing access all areas it will cost you another £50.
It's a marketing nightmare.

Does anyone know how many monthly payments (DD's) have to be made?

I think perhpas they want people to go for the direct debit option, as in the terms an conditions it says:

"Initial membership is for 12 months, after which your membership is a rolling contract until you notify us that you wish to cancel."
