It was £17 to get in on the day at Keighley this season. "Professional" sport comes with expensive bills to pay. It's an open secret the better National Conference sides would generally beat the new southern professional teams but they typically play on railed off pitches and charge £2 to get in. Understandably they have no interest in going pro.
Broncos are in a tough hole. All the expenses of a professional operation and academy etc but with a support base that's basically had enough and has seen the match day experience / venue decline dramatically which will always cause challenges in selling the ticket as value for money. It's clear that David is reducing his financial commitment year on year through the next 3 years which doesn't exactly suggest much financial wriggle room exits either. That is against a background of David basically subsidising our season tickets for years - £99 in the Superleague was bonkers really.
Obviously it's a personal decision what go do and the level of disillusionment suggests these prices will be a hard sell. I expect to watch most of my rugby league elsewhere next season but the standing season ticket is cheap enough I may buy one and just rock up when I can.
It may be a lot cheaper in 2017 if low crowds in 2016 cause the Broncos to go part time and scrap the academy but I'm not sure many of us would want that.
