£250 is a no-brainer compared to Nancyball prices and I will be getting the Platinum offer as I normally get the home & Away shirts anywhere so it's a bargain for me.

£ 250 is excellent value, I would not give any discount to students, they get tons of hand outs, massive loans that they don`t have to repay , mothers do their washing and ironing. Any discount that club were thinking of giving students should go to nurses but they would have to wear their uniforms on match days as proof of employment.

Unless things have changed since I was at College and then University in the 90's, what hand outs and massive loans that they don't have to pay are these?
I got bugger all free at Wakey College. At University I got my tuition payed for by the Council, like everyone else did back then and that was it. Some got extra money dpending how much their mum and dads earned (means tested), which for everyine I know , just barelly payed for the rent. I personaly had to pay for rent & all other things you need whenn your away from home, such as books, food and clothes etc. This is before they stopped free tuition and studnets now pay something crazy like 9k per semester to go to Uni. All I got att were interest free loans from the Student Loan Company, that I had to pay back soon as I started earning 20k a year, which for me was straight away and a couple of student back loans that again had to be paid back soon as I left the place.

The thing is, it's clear to see that all fan bases across RL seem to be gettting older & older & that 16-21 age group, whether they're in education or not is the main one we should be hitting, especially as far as long term fans. Plus they don't need their mums and dads to bring tem either, What you think they get for free or don't shouldn't come into it as far as the Club goes.
We just need to entice them to come watch us instead of the plenty of others things lads and lasses can do at that age. Hopefully if this new developemnet comes off we can get the marketing right, so for those of that age, it's seen as THE place to go around Wakefield. Also a bit of word of mouth would work wonders as well at that age.

With the earlybird members offer a ‘Nancyball’ season ticket to Huddersfield Town was £190. HTH.

So, you are agreeing with Acko then, £250 to watch Trinity is a no brainer

You pays your money, you takes your choice. But £290 for 19 games of premier league football isn’t bad value either if football floats your boat as well. And we have plenty of fans that like both games.

Personally i won’t be getting a season this time, not worth it with the amount of games i can to. If you can get to all of them then its a decent enough deal.

Think of it more as a contribution to the success of the club, rather than working out how much you can save.
I think the club actually deserve everyone who has an interest in Trinity to purchase a "membership".

It's quite incredible what they have achieved this season and with the backing of enough fans, they may be able to repeat the feat.
Also, with decisions being made about the new ground, it's more important than ever that the club keeps up the momentum and heaps as much pressure on WMDC and the developer's as possible.

Sorry but i’ve personally never bought that line and never will. If some people want to buy one whatever then thats up to them, good on them thats their call. They can have the moral high ground if thats they want, doesn’t bother me one iota. But most people these days want value for money and if you are only going to be getting to half the games then a season ticket doesn’t offer that. Put it this way you wouldn’t go to the cinema to see a film if you knew you’d have to leave halfway through would you? I and the better half will be paying as and when we can get to games this time i’m afraid.

Fanatics like myself and many others on here forget that to many, like yourself, it is just another form of casual entertainment. If Cineworld in Wakefield shut down you could just go to the one at Birstal to get your fix. Fair enough.This was the problem with the Bulls really.
Hopefully we can convert as many as possible to the idea that Wakefield Trinity RLFC is much more than a trip to the cinema.

But wasn't that offer for Hudds fans who have had a season ticket for the last so many years that's why they got it so cheap so did every Hudds fan get the chance to get it at that price,My hudds friends hopefully will enlighten me more.
But as a hard core Trin fan the season ticket offer is a bargain FOR me.

The thing is i used to feel just as you did, never missed a game, bought half the shop etc. Up until not that long ago either. Now whether it's a case of priorities changed or just a general feel of the fact that rugby league in general in this country just doesn't do it for me anymore i don't know but moving to a being casual fan and the club being just part of my life rather than the be all and end all is something i've quite enjoyed, it's a big world out there with plenty of other things to do in it. But i'd never chastise anybody for Wakey being their 'thing'. I was there, i know how all consuming it can become! C'est La Vie!
