As for other club's sales, Wigan's are around 7500 and Saints over 8600.

Cas have always been competitive, a membership only costs you £50 plus the goody bag so you loose nothing, remember we are only a small town, but we have sold coming up to 3000 memberships, my family have 2 bronze and 2 silver, the bronze wont be used except for the discounts, i cant go any more but i still support the club, with DD its only a small amount just over £2 a week, if you buy a shirt you get £4,50 back so its worth every penny _ in my opinion

Totally agree Frank. I work in Bradford and am trying to talk a few Bulls fans into signing up for the Bronze membership. I think I've got a few interested, especially when I tell them they can save £25 on getting their car MOT's, along with all the savings to be had at Xscape and get 2 tickets to Cas games (one obviously being against the Bulls). Even if I only get one to sign up it's one more than we had before.

I can't seem to find any definitive list of all the discounts/benefits you can receive for being a member, I assume these are going to be given out with the membership packs?

I think this is it so far! Found on official site!

Membership packs have list of companies who have offers for members but don't tell us what the offers are. Its a pretty long list though.

When you think about it, at £50 and free DD, some fans from this area,who are Waky or Rhinos fans would make some good savings, there is plenty of fans who use Xscape, need Mot's and go to at least one Cas match, with £25 savings on the Mot, £21 entry to the game, that leaves £4 to put you in the black, so sell the Cas bit's & bats from the gift set on
e,bay, charge £4 for p&p, you will get a few quid for the gift pack & you are sorted, all you have to do then is use the discounts at Xscape on some fine dining, and you will be quids in, so come on you Waky, and Rhinos, fans who use the restaurants at Xscape, go to away games & need A Mot, get a membership, you know it makes sense

All the offers are on Castigers.com: www.castigers.com/members/home.php On the right hand side just click search and it'll bring them all up for you.

I wouldn't mind us just selling memberships specifically for away fans for £50.00.

All money in our back pocket.

Thats not a bad idea actually

I suggested the same thing but got shot down on the Wakey site, Giants did it this year (but open for anyone to buy for behind the sticks) and there were regular wire, batley, dewsbury and Wildcat fans in attendance. At £50 it pays for itself if you go to 3 matches a season. For me it makes sence.

How do you prove you're an away fan?

Season Ticket/Membership?

For non-ST holders it may be a bit difficult but it could be sold through other SL clubs with them retaining some of the cash.

Would give both clubs more extra income than expected. For instance, if a Cas membership costs £50.00 and £10.00 went to the other SL team, that's still £8.00 more per person than they would get from selling an ordinary ticket for £20.00 to a Cas away game (£2.00/10%)

Don't get it?!?
How many games? How much?

think the point to fans of other clubs is......................

the membership costs £50

if you go to your team away at cas, thats £21 of that accounted for
plus the £25 off an MOT

that's only an actual COST of £4

but if you go to xscape a couple of times for some food then you've saved money WHILST putting your bit into rugby league!

Anybody that says "no cause it's cas" is NOT a rugby league fan in my eyes

In a Cas bronze membership you get two free tickets for £50.00, plus all the discounts at places around Cas and in Xscape etc etc. So effectively, if you bought one 'away' membership for you and someone else, you could use two tickets to Cas game, which is the same as paying £40.00 for two tickets to the game normally.

If you buy tickets now your club gets 10% of the money. Tickets last year were £18.00 for adult standing (so £1.80 is 10% for each ticket sold). If prices increase this year to £20.00 then that's £2.00 per ticket.

So for tickets sold through your club you could get £3.60/£4.00 for your club for two tickets. Whereas the scheme could work in favour of the away clubs because if we liaised with away clubs and allowed them to sell it through their own club shop, £10.00 of the sale of a membership could be given back to that club as an incentive for selling it. They'd be £6.00 up on the equivalent number of tickets. It would, therefore, generate more income for the away club and also increase Cas's income making finances stronger for all clubs concerned.

I would go so far as to say it would benefit fans of clubs from further afield if they wished to combine their trip to Cas with eating in Frankie & Bennys or Chiquito's before/after the game.

Having not picked up my membership pack yet I don't know whether this is viable but say a family buys a Bronze membership that includes 2 game tickets for their teams game at Cas - both adults taken care at the ordinary cost of £40. Then visits one of the above establishments for a family meal which could easily cost £60 - £80 normally but for which they will save 20% or 25%.

I guess the only negative is that it seems like Cas are trying to make the Wheldon Road end Cas fans only by restricting it to members, but if away fans got membership they would be able to get in there as well.

No it wouldn't, Cecil.

The Away one would be sold separately not including the Cas stuff. That could be sold for ground entry, excluding Wheldon Rd End.

dose any body know how many memberships waky have sold

They say 4k Gold memberships @£125 or less.

so thats equivalent to just over 2000 in comparison to us when all the money is added up, it might be more members or season ticket holders than they have had for a long time, but the bank statement wont have increased much

How did you come to that conclusion frank?

Just for the record i can't get an exact figure of sales at Wakey or any income thats come into the club from sales so you can speculate if you wish but thats all it is.

Anyway back to the topic of Cas memberships, from reading this board and that other excuse for a forum it seems that sales are going well and above what some predicted.

Do you not agree its a plus for both clubs?

Not quite Fully it was 4300 Gold passes at £125 then they went to £150 from the first of November and are now at £175 with sales towards Christmas and offers on for kids so 4000 at £125 is a little off the mark.

Is it? so all your membership packs are twice the price of Wakey then? I thought you had sold a shed load of Bronze at %£50 thats less than half the price of Wakefields origuinal price so have we taken twice as much revenue as Cas?

Dont need the spin you have sold several thousand so have we leave it at that its good for both clubs why have a wallet measuring contest
