It's terribly worded and massively misleading

So does everyone have to pay £50 membership this time?

Last year it was only one family member even if everyone was an adult.

im confused, just watched the video on the reds website and it clearly states that its £50 adult match pass EVERY GAME ANY AREA FOR THE WHOLE SEASON !!!!

think that they might be mis selling the season tickets, no mention of an extra charge !!!!!

The get out clause is that it says that those prices are for members, without saying in the same sentence how much you have to pay to become a member. You could charge £179 for a membership and advertise that season tickets are £1 to members (and £180 to non members).



Did you get that bit confirmed? The wording is careful (ish) to distinguish between membership and match card holder. I’d be surprised if this initial £50 fee then means that every subsequent year is circa £50 cheaper (especially as I've already fored out £200 a year for 2013-2016). It may well be that the DD sees your membership carry on, but I’d expect your membership would need to have an annual match card added to get you in to games (I may be wrong).

It should be £180 + whatever it is for 2 x DD for under 12's (as i dont think under 12's pay the £50)

Just ring the shop they told me in plain english!

Fortunately Iain even I'm not that thick to realise the season/match/pass ticket whatever would be £50! However the ponce that wrote it that way needs a good kicking!

It looks a good deal for most people, the only group that loses out as far as I can see are the students 16-21. If you are unlucky (like me) and have two in that bracket it's tough cheese. I think the idea of nominating a second part of the ground to use with your match pass is outstanding and will help a lot of folk make up their minds about should I stand or sit. Well now you can hedge your bets.

Think it'll be basic Reds Membership for me because it's unlikely I'll be able to go every game. £26 for the membership, then £8 a game works out at £130 if I go to every game. The Premier Membership works out at £128.

It's a great deal though, albeit slightly hard to understand at first. Shame they couldn't have announced something at the last game when there were 10,000 there, instead of, according to Facebook, 4000 letters.

How's things on the fed up and confused about ST thread tonight ?



I told you this new stadium lark would be ' interesting '

I didn't for one minute then you were, but that's the line that can be used to get round claims of false advertising.

Where in the brochure is the £26 basic Reds membership? I can only see the £50 one, is it me? That £26 one would fit in with what I'd want, but I can't see it,

I'm a student

£26 is for students and seniors
reading through it again i can not for the life of me think why would anybody pay for Premier membership at £10.33 a month and only get a PAYG card and also pay £13 a match, surely you would get the basic membership? Just seems a strange option.

Sounds like a good deal to me,i will wait and see what this brouchure says then make my mind up which offer suits me,but its good to see the club are actually doing something at last.

cheers, should've known, I really could do with one of them there student cards, I must have a look at doing a night course at Walkden college!!!!!

The club must make an effort and publicise the student prices throughout the Salford and Manchester Universities, loads of potential fans/customers there, don't we already have links with Salford Uni?

This is a kick in the knackers for those of us with families!!!!
I remember when the club introduced their "Innovative" new family membership scheme a load of whingers on here who go to the match on their own complaining that it wasn't fair that they paid the same membership fee as a family of 4.
Well you've got your wish haven't you! I've just worked out that if I take my wife to the same number of matches as she attended last season it will cost us £40 more this year and that is pay on the day price (£20). If she was a member it would cost £57 more.....DOH!!! How can being a member be less beneficial than not being... I thought it was supposed to attract people by bringing in benefits.

Further more, all those who whinged last time didn't do the maths properly. A season ticket and memership last year cost £180 (£50 membership fee/ £130 season ticket). That's what a person going to the game spent on a seasons rugby. I paid the same, but every time I brought my wife I added an extra £12 into club coffers, I saved a bit, the club got a bit more and the singlton put their money into the pot too for a very good price... everyones a winner. Now I am out of pocket this year while those who go alone pay exactly the same as last year. Let's talk about fair shall we!!!

Family game my ar$e!!!

I'm getting a new student card soon, you can have my old one



Manchester has the biggest student population in the UK doesn't it? I've tried before to get the people at the Manchester Student's Union to do something, but without any success. They advertise special student United and City tickets, and although Salford don't have the pulling power of those two, I'm sure there'd still be a good few who would fancy a trip to Barton. There's plenty of international students (you'd know if you do any sort of engineering/physical science degree, especially maths, blimey) who always seemed to be interested in doing/visiting "English" things, as I suppose I would do if I went to study in a different country. But yeah, big target audience there.

I think we do already have some links Salford Uni yeah, sure there's a few posters on here who study/have studied at Salford too in sports-related subjects.

I've just been on the 'fishal' site and watched the new video they've posted advertising the coming season. It's either completely naive or an attempt at the biggest con ever. It clearly leads people to expect a season ticket for £50. (Oh! and that's after being told 'You don't need ANY money!)

This type of publicity is either going to generate disappointment at best or ANGER at worst. Does anyone know what they're doing at our Club?

Nope, and to make matters worse all of the knowledgable innovators with the guaranteed solutions are on the unofficial fan-site whining.

Maybe when they say 'unbelievable price' - it's a more literal definition than we presume?

has there been a big press release about this in the MEN?
I have not seen it but in Thursdays MEN there was a quarter page advert for Wigan Season Tickets which caught my eye.

What's it like being better than everyone else?



I saw that as well. There may be something planned for today's, but it doesn't look good when Wigan have an advert in and we don't. Could just be that they've sneaked in ahead of us, of course.

anybody have any idea where and when Millennium Magic is next season?

MM is scheduled in May from what I've seen and as far as venue is concerned nothing but speculation. On the KR site they believe it's Eastlands. Anyone else heard any rumours?

Back on topic, can anyone tell me how much it would be for a 12-16 year old with basic membership. The info’ would suggest around £40 via DD or 75 up front. The £40 is a guess as there isn’t a DD quoted for 12-16 basic members but in the benefits detail a match pass=£20. The 12-16 group doesn’t have any price quoted for any membership, maybe they are part of the seniors/students, who knows?

Is this the measure of a realist now?
