It's misplaced confidence and a shocking example of an attempt at arrogance to charge £17 to anyone, never mind loyal supporters. It's one thing charging a rate based on the perceived quality of product, but let's be fair about this - the product isn't that good.

There is a simple way around this which won't dent anyone's pride. Charge full price on the first home game, issue a voucher/receipt and on production of the voucher/receipt at the next home game earns a discount of a quid or two - reward for loyal regular supporters.

As Rachel has already eluded to - even if the product is good enough, the atmosphere will be 'away on leave' due to the 300 or so prepared to pay that kind of money..

Clearly there is a real lack of understanding of how to run a fan based business from the Board - clueless.

I think we will struggle also crowd wise. Find all the hype made to fight rfl to then go quiet and recruitment disappointing don't seem to of pushed for players to go straight back up. Normally hardly miss but no enthusiasm at min for cougars. Will probably be attending batley vs fax tomorrow

£17 per game.... Disqusting!!! Get relegated and put prices up how does this work??. Don't think Gary will get many fans this season!! £3 more I can go watch a super league game at leeds.

Thank the Lord for folk like you BurleyCougar, loyal to the core. If it wasn't for people like you, Gary and his 2015 strategy would look really really silly.

Keep On supporting

Thank you chaps ,
Like I say , I shout the loudest when things aren't right but come on ,
Batley ???? been a cougar fan for 37 years since I was 9 , if I decided to stop now
it certainly wouldn't be to watch those cheating sheeeeitehawks .

** shakes head and walks away

Re: Attendance Crisis Looming. : Sun Mar 01, 2015 1:03 pm  

Anyway , if I didn't follow the Cougars through the
season that would mean I would have to talk to
the Wife all year round on a Sunday instead of
just the closed season

For various reasons I have stayed away this season,price versus product being one of them.This may change but one thing is for sure i would not pay to go and watch those at sodal, or john *ears cheating royalty.Gary doesn't need Burley to make himself look stupid or arrogant, he is doing fine on his own, or with the help of his fellow directors.Halifaxcougar if you think 17quid is such a bargain and people should just stump up why don't you give Gary 17000 pounds and pay for the first thousand through the gate at the next home ground free entry.Alternatively give him the money and tell Gary to subsidise the entry fee to a tenner for the season?
