But as a hard core Trin fan the season ticket offer is a bargain FOR me.

Yep. What deal did the Wakey fans get that had held a ticket for the last so many years? I actually think that existing ST holders of any sport that renew quickly should get a discount/bonus, even it's just a tenner or a shop voucher etc, as a thank you for their loyalty. Have always thought that and always will, little gestures like that can mean a lot.

Any the subject is boring me so i'm done here and it doesn't really have much to do with the stadium as the thread title suggests!

I have not had a season ticket for about 7/8 seasons I never used to miss a game home or away, working away makes it difficult . Also when you consider just how many games are changed for sky or to give an extra rest day it makes attending most games a lottery. I attend when I can
To sell sts to the public in general will be almost impossible, I would suggest a more active marketing n a match by match basis to entice your more casual supporter through the gates.

One thing that could be done, to get round the re scheduling of games, and also those fans, who aren't in one way or another able to commit to a full annual membership, would be the mini package that I mentioned on here a while ago.

Other clubs do it, and quite successfully.

You could do it in blocke of say 3 or 5. If it is sold to someone, who just doesn't want to commit to all games, say a newcomer, or a fan starting to come back, once the block has expired, may well invest in another during the season.

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.

I understand where you're coming from here and I've had that attitude in the past, but that was when I was working continental shifts and had money coming out of my lugs, unfortunately circumstances prevail. When you have bags of money you can be flippant and shrug your shoulders and see it as a "contribution" to the club, when money gets tighter as my circumstances have changed, it makes it more difficult to justify the outgoing. Our season has now finished, my focus is getting the money together to buy all my family Xmas presents, to fork out at this time of year £260 is a problem.
It's obvious that season tickets have to come out at this time of year and yes the club need the money, but I always find it slightly offensive that people tell me to just see it as a contribution. Out of interest how many home games have we played at 3pm on a Sunday, that makes a big difference to people's thinking.

Ps, I will be buying a season pass this year hopefully, but I've had to get the money together over a few months.

Cant argue with that and there are loads of Trinity fans who aren't blessed with cash and the saying about "support in any way that you can" comes to mind.
However, for those that can afford to, they should buy a season ticket as, without them, the club will struggle and right now, it feels like we have turned a corner, both on and off the field.
Therefore, it's time, for those that can, to dig deep and lets hope that Trinity can truly return to the top of the sport.

From where we were just 3 years ago, you have to pinch yourself (not too hard), just to realise what happened this year, it's been a blast.
Competitive with everyone and really, really unlucky not to make the semi finals.

Roll on End October and lets hope the ducks are all in a line

Log this down onto excel and then over time you can see where our fan base lies, then take it from there

There's been a poll running on Facebook this week looking at a similar type of thing. Looks like there's lots of fans from Normanton area, but a lot less from the city itself
