Will he still needs us when were 64?
The in effect tripling of the concessionary pass (you now have to be over 64 instead of 60 to qualify) for those between 60-65 is very iniquitous. These people could be on a low fixed income and will be lost to the fan base. It would not be much of a concession to put it back to 60 and the loss of goodwill will be noted.
Think again Mr MacKay....
ps I will declare an interest I am now 60!
The existing fan-base at the Broncos is 12 years older than when I started and I am fast approaching the roman letter "D"......there are a fair few fans that I met over the years who will be in this concessionary window...Existing RL fans are of no interest to Gus or TK. They are the hardy 800 or so who will attend regardless of what crap is delivered on and off the pitch and a rag-tag bunch of middle aged and over people who aren't "sexy" in the eyes of the modern sports administration. Gus and TK want the new sexy T-20/World Darts types, who roll up in groups and spend heavily. They will have great fun at "the rugby" but will have little time for the game itself, instead, using the event as an excuse to drink excessively and let off steam.
Even more so, TK wants 12 month memberships, so these aged fans are not his "go to the gym and meet for a spritzer afterwards" types.
The only saving grace is.......nope, I can't actually think of one
