What I imply and what others presume I’m implying could be two completely different things Poptart. Throughout the whole thing I’ve not once said copy Melbourne, go get 26.5m worth of funding or more importantly compete with Melbourne. I only used them as an example of what is being offered elsewhere to outline where we could potentially be aiming for.
I’ll go back all the way to page 2, what seems like a lifetime ago now lol
I totally understand the reason Melbourne are able to offer prices like that, including tickets on the day and I realise we couldn’t survive whilst offering tickets so cheap.
It would just be interesting to see how teams like Wakefield are trying to mimic the NRL deals and do we ever see Adult ticket pricing ever dropping?
Key parts for me based on what others have said, not once do I confirm we would survive based on offering the prices that Melbourne do, I don’t mention competing I asked what we are doing to mimic the deals, nothing specific just the ways of working in general (all I’ve had back is confirming we can’t ask the council for 26.5m).
I was given a straight answer on the last point however.
Poptart you mention we are not trying to get big crowds and again I’ll refer back to MC’s comments after the London game but also reiterate it could have been in jest (yet to be confirmed); If only we could get the same amount of fans to buy season tickets. Not word for word don’t get me wrong but definitely something with a similar message behind it.
8 pages worth of conversation where I have backed up my points when required but also more than once confirmed I agree with a hell of a lot that’s been said.
I’ve never said MC/Staff do nothing all week, initially I only even said clubs like Wakefield do the same goes for Castleford as they have basically the same structure as we do!
What if I was to tell you I don’t have the answer for the club, do I have to stop posting about it because others clearly don’t agree with me? I thought this was the point of the forum, to discuss RL. I don’t know what I am supposed to have not taken on board, having read the thread from start to finish again any question I’ve replied to has been with a counter argument based on my opinion.
I’ve questioned a hell of a lot on here today but with that said I don’t think any of it is out of turn especially considering if I have made a point I have backed it up with the proof, even if people want to exclude Huddersfield because of Davy the Hull KR point still stands, I held my hands up because I didn’t know about the commit 6 option but it’s still whilst marginal a more costly option that what our competitors are offering.
Anyway, peace out guys. Have a great weekend, stay safe and if I don’t log on tomorrow or Sunday, I’ll catch up with you all Monday morning.
