| I mentioned this today, I've still never received any info regarding season tickets, I honestly believe the club have been lazy, careless and not too bothered about next season. It feels like after the last game the whole club went on holiday not just the players!
We should have been building the week leading up to the final game and once we had a captive audience (of over 10k) we should have forced the season tickets, I can't recall a time I've been so disenchanted with the club and the complete lack of, well anything really!

| Although not brilliant the club did hand out leaflets about the new ground & season tickets at last game against the Catalans. They should really be having full page ads in the MEN every week at least once a week with prices on and also on radio stations every day.

Are you sure that there was stuff about season tickets on it? The leaflet I have talks about where it is, how to get there, and what facilities it will have, but nothing on season tickets (oh, and it also used a photo of the one player we definitely knew wouldn't be playing for us next season).

| The words Farcical, Inept and Unprofessional spring to mind. Oh well, if the club aren't bothered, why on earth should anyone else be ?

| We've had a similar thread not long ago. At that time it seemed from some sources that the Club were to hold some kind of launch programme in October. Well, October's half way through and nothing has transpired so far, and why does that not come as any surprise?
All us long standing and long suffering fans are only too aware of how poor our beloved Club are at marketing and promoting our marvellous product. Is it any wonder we continue to struggle to attract new fans, let alone informing existing supporters what's going on.
We left the Willows on a low note and the Club by their continued inaction have continued to compound it. It's no good moaning about it because nothing is ever going to change as long as our inept background Staff continue to manage our affairs. I'm afraid the loyal supporters among us are just going to have to make the usual effort to find out what's going on by ourselves or wait in the forlorn hope that we may indeed be contacted at some point with any details or offers.
I don't know if the Stadium has been officially handed over yet, but presume that's what the delay in advertising is down to. We need to have open days at the new ground then fans can have a walk round and decide where they's like to sit/stand before committing to buying a season ticket and we need parking and an office available to purchase the said tickets.
We also need home friendlies prior to the season for exactly the same reason, I hope to god that a heavy defeat at HKR is again proffered as a good idea to generate interest. How is it that I expect to find myself in the new stadium surrounded by the loyal 3,000?
I bet the RL have nightmares about a Grand Final between Salford and London Whatevertheirnewnameis at Old Trafford. There wouldn't be enough fans to fill the Munich Tunnel! Not that there's much chance of it ever happening.
Speculating to accumulate is a complete anathema to Salford, but if they think increased crowds are just going to happen and then spend for the second season, they are sadly mistaken. JW has gone on record that he wishes to emulate Warrington. Well not with our current strategy, (Or lack of it).
What is in place to attract lapsed fans, new fans or even better players come to that? Youv'e got it..............Bu**er All. Don't you just love us!!!!
Keep the faith and hope for a miracle, it's all we can do.

Phil,we ordered our tickets for the new stadium months ago,paid up for two years and the club contacted myself to see about us moving two places towards the aisle steps so we are on the radar.We also have our seat numbers.
For the life of me I cannot understand what the problem is with not keeping the fans informed about what is going on behind the scenes,I am supposing that there is something happening, building up to next season.
By the way,is your neighbour called Harry? if it is I was talking to him the other day and he mentioned about the non show of Season Ticket information.

| " Build it and they will come " he said
In a movie
Hopefully they are just waiting until the stadium is complete enough to guarantee you start the season there , just drove past this morning , a hell of a lot of work needed yet
I'd suggest that a big push would be needed in mid November , just as the Trafford Centre gears up for Xmas , but one thing is for certain , if you don't market it to death , " They will not come "
You only get one chance at this , once the boat has gone , it's gone

I wouldn't worry about that mate, if we got to Old Trafford (or Wembley for that matter) we'd sell our allocation. Now the only problem is, the team getting us to the said finals Apart from that I agree with everything else you've typed.

| I'm waiting more and more impatiently for them to call regaurding renewing my season ticket, I took a new fan to the final game and he wants a season ticket but is bewildered that he can't find anything out about it on the website.
It's appauling that were in the most important off season of our lives and we are having the same old conversations regaurding ticketing.
I call on whoever is responsible for this at the club to resign as they are patently failing to do thier job properlly.

But if you've time to sit and type on here, why not call the club shop, or just go in and get your season ticket - I did on Saturday, it was quite painless, a big chart with the layout marked on, very helpful lady in the shop - picked my seat, paid for it - where's the problem??????

Yep Brian, Harry is my neighbour. A couple of lads who i go with have had some info but i have not heard a dicki bird. The problem like for many others is that Christmas is round the corner if you have kids then the money would probably be invested in them.

The problem is that some one is getting paid to promote the club, they are not at the moment, so what are they doing?

But that is NOT a problem for anyone wanting to buy a season ticket - they are on open sale, they are easy to get hold of
Whilst I completely agree the marketing is less than stunning, just because the club haven't called you, that is not in any way stopping you buying a ticket - it seems to me that some folk just prefer to whinge rather than just getting on with their lives - I wanted a ticket, I went and bought one - where's the issue??

| The problem is that the club should be looking for my business not just thinking he'll come again next year, as someone else says someone is paid to do things like this and it's shocking that it isn't being done.

| But FFS what is the point of going on and on about it on a forum like this?
If you listened to John Wilkinson in his recent interview he said he no longer reads anything on on-line forums because it's all so negative, I can't say I blame him.
I repeat - if you want a season ticket go and get one - it isn't difficult!!

It's yet another cock up/missed oppertunity by Salford and yet another example of how poorley run Salford is. If your happy with that then fine, feel free to delete your account if you don't like what your reading.

Why, just because I disagree with some of the negativity on here should I delete my account?
Is debate and discussion a thing of the past?
I've agreed that the marketing at the club is pretty poor (non-existent??), but the point I'm making is that the quality of the marketing has no bearing at all on the ability of any existing Salford fan to get a season ticket, which is what the OP was implying

Like you say it it's a forum if people want to moan about it then let them.

Just take a look at what other teams are doing to promote season tickets...
www.warringtonwolves.org/splash/
www.wiganwarriors.com/Splash.aspx
Its not about moaning, i'll be getting a ticket regardless, as am sure most others commenting on here will be. The problem is the marginal fans wont if its not made easier. They shouldnt need to go out of their way, infact it should be shoved down their throat so its easier to just buy the ticket than not. I know we havent got much money, but this is THE most important part of this season, getting bums on seats early, and keeping them there. Surely the benefit will outweigh the cost, but times running out quickly

| the silence from the club is deafening,thats what concerns me,when we all should be buzzing waiting for the season to start all we get is the fans bickering amongst ourselves,a new business advertises it self to the hilt,emails,flyers,radio etc etc.why are we not,is there something going on,it makes you think is it worth it if the club cannot be bothered selling tickets,why should i buy one.common salford let the fans know what the hell you have got planned.

OK then, if the club WONT tell us and you HAVE bought one, how much are they then? and why would i want to go down to the club when i can pay over the phone (if they ring). As M.R said, they should be chasing us for business. yes we will be getting one. Again the club needs to change its attitude how it runs its business, every day people are losing their jobs ( and i could be soon ). People are going to be very careful now with thier money and the club need to be tempting people to part with what little money is spare.

Are the definitely on "open" sale, as opposed to existing season ticket holders? I Saw a comment on facebook saying that a photo of the sheet in the shop showing prices offered for existing ST holders (inc the 5-year deal) were not the confirmed 2012 prices for others.
