I just did a search and it appears they were £139 so you're right not quite £99 but at less than a tenner a game you'd expect to have a fair few take you up on that offer.
£21 to buy a ticket for tomorrow on your website right now so a season ticket effectively gives you 50% of your games for nowt.
Frankly, I don't really care how many you get compared to how many we get. What I care about is how much revenue our ticket sales generate to fund our team because we don't have someone with very deep pockets keeping us afloat.
I detest the sale of low price tickets with a few very targeted exceptions. All it does is cheapen the product and causes people to under value it.
The whole idea is flawed as we ourselves found out. If you value a game at £12 then these 'new' fans believe thats what its worth, why wouldn't they. The minute you raise it to the correct price of say £22they are outraged and won't pay and promptly bog off. Hence you don't achieve anything in the end, its just an illusion.
Trinity's increase in support may be a very slow advance but every fan we earn we earn from and that matters in the long run. The moment Hudds lose their sugar daddy they are in real bother and then we will see the real level of support.
I'm not gloating, I even understand why Hudds do it but they are utterly misguided imho.
School children/Disabled/College students/targeted work forces and perhaps more contentiously ethnic groups, Poles for example for whom the game is not part of the culture.
Thats my opinion and I do believe the last 25 years of SL support me as the other two big freebie clubs Bradford and Keighley have fared none to well.
