Ohh dear. I think they are actually trying for three figure attendances. Why on earth would someone pay £70 to bring a family to a game. Just when things are looking positive the club royally screws its fans once again.

When did they last go up.

Harrisons legacy continues.

Daddy = £20
Mummy = £20
Child 1 = £5
Child 2 = £5
Child 3 = £5
Child 4 = £5
Child 5 = £5
Child 6 = £5

Total £70

overseas players have to be paid for somehow

What are you babbling on about now Nat?

The price of a season ticket hasn't gone up for the past three years. I think a £2 increase over 4 years is more than reasonable. And I'm pretty sure the admission costs haven't gone up during this time either

All more reason to buy a season ticket then, especially any early bird offers


If the Rugby is kak and they peddle x-Factor style music on the tannoy then its not happening.
Iron Maiden, Jam, Metallica or Marching Bands and im sold

oh and some decent Rugby..

On another note, get yer season tickets and let The Dulls, and others pay £20.. or £17

I still miss Thrum Hall if ya haven't guessed.

The product has improved since last year, just like we've all been wanting and waiting for. Bigger games, more to play for.

We've only had a few decent atmospheres each year, im looking forward to some sizeable away support coming and getting the crowd more involved..
No offence to todays young uns (they haven't had much to sing about recently) but the singing at Thrum Hall was something else, and I remember the Regal Trophy final we lost, the Fax fans sang their hearts out for 80 mins. (Not sure they remembered much of the game though)

We can either:

A) Reduce prices like Bradford Bulls did. I'll call the Administrators now shall I?

Or

B) Freeze prices and prepare for Championship 1.


Tell me something that hasn't gone up in price in the last three years (apart from admission to Halifax RLFC matches). It's not nice granted but I doubt the BOD are sat there thinking up ways to hack fans off. It's a fine balancing act between funding through turnstiles/funding from their own pocket/signing the right players/signing deadwood. Without looking at the books, the projected income and not having a crystal ball for a new competition I can't judge what is the right decision. In the board I trust. ......

I have my season ticket and I think its great value. I have bought my lads junior season ticket which, as always, is fantastic value. he gets into all home and away games with his ticket so when we go to away games its only me to pay for.

We know money is still tight but I don't think a £2 increase is unreasonable. I am doing what I do every year. I save £20 a month and when the season has finished Im ready to buy my new season ticket. Cant wait for next season, new coach, new players new teams in the league. well work an extra £2.
If you cant afford the extra £2 have one less pint a week. Money saved!!!

I know that after last year to many putting the prices up is a bit of a no, no BUT we have to compete with clubs that are already charging more than us and we have not had a price rise for 4 years.
I was thinking an extra pound on the admission prices would have been okay but as one of the Board members said to me £19 for the east stand would not have been practical so £2 it is.
I am okay with that as you can get a bargain by getting a season ticket plus Halifax Town charge £17 for their games standing or seating and I am sure most clubs in the Championship will be charging more next year, I know Fev are planning to raise their prices.

( do you


If the product has improved since last year ( i presume you mean the current 2014 season of which we are no longer a part of ) then you'd expect a ramp up of a 3rd place league finish ?

I'll make you a £20 bet to the charity of the loser's choice that we won't finish 3rd or above here & now. £20 being the price of a seat to a single seat in the east stand



I happen to believe that the competition within this division has also "improved since last year" therefore we'll likely be two places lower than this year.

If you don't fancy the bet, and i'm proved to be wrong with my prediction, i'll allow you to hold me to my word & i will still donate the £20 to a charity/good cause on your reminder to me on here.

Out of curiosity, why not practical?

I agree with Rich that it is a very difficult decision for any club to make. They need to build a competitive squad without alienating the hard core support. The problem then however is that the price increase could potentially put off the floating supporter who isn't a diehard but enjoys the odd rugby match every now and then. I think this is one of the reasons FCHT haven't seen any major increase in crowds even though they have had success over the last few seasons. A price increase does add further pressure onto how the club markets itself out in the community, which on the whole, Fax have usually done very well.

Instead of making a bet why not spend that £20 and turn up to a game for once !

Won't be many of us going to Bradfud then . I think theirs is going to be £25 quid.

Very happy with the price, will be buying mine on Friday.
Win or lose only one club to chose.

Our league next season will include 2 full time ex Superleague clubs, therefore to measure if we have improved we would need to finish higher than Fev or Leigh, therefore 4th would be an improvement on 3rd this season. Now if you like I will take your 20 quid bet (to charity) based on that.

Very fair, I would say.

I'll be there the team needs our support every game more so away, and £25 to see the Bulls Run

is brilliant value for money.

Me too, along with some friends, who are bulls fans. (they will also be at the shay)

For once haha, liking it



How many times do you turn up for a game ?

EXCUSE ME !!!!! But Halifax RLFC are also a former fulltime SL club but with the added advantage of about 10 years experience at getting out of this division & failed every season. If you honestly believe that we will finish above Fev & Leigh you must be puddled. I know very well that London & Bradford will be in our division next season, that's why i included them in my evaluation. If you choose to disregard them, you're in for a very long 12 months in front of you.

No, you miss my point. We are talking about improving on this season's performance. I am saying if we finish next season ahead of Fev or Leigh it will be an improvement.

I don't ignore the fact that they are in our league and I will be at the games and I, as always will be there to watch a fax win (glass half full).

But the purpose of my response was to offer the bet, because I think we will improve, therefore my offer still stands and if we don't improve my £20 will go to Coeliac UK. If you think I'm puddled then where will your £20 go if we do?
