| We ordered our 2017 season ticket on line a couple of weeks ago, as we are going on holiday tomorrow thought we would pick it up our new tickets today, however, we didn't realise that you use the same card as last season you only pick up the receipt from the clubs shop.
Its a good job we didn't throw away last years tickets would have cost us £5 each for replacement. How daft did we feel ?,Ive still not got the hang of this new membership idea

| I didn't realise we would use the same card ('Tickets') either, and didn't see any club reminder that they would be re-used, but I had put mine away in my man drawer anyway (along with 60 Greek Drachmas, Oakwood Ave school cap, and a mobile phone the size of a house brick) so no harm done. but what I am dreading is turning up next year and being refused entry because the card aint working.
However, I did manage to re-charge the card on line without a trip to the club shop.

I think the early bird offer stands to guarantee your seat was 18th October, got mine with a couple of days to spare.
Again my Hardwired online account password was locked out, a quick phone call to the office all sorted card reloaded with receipt posted out password reset, the girl was very helpful let's hope the new season goes as well.

Well, hopefully the official fan club had already told the club that was going to go down like a lead balloon.
I nearly put in the draper thread, but I'd not heard of any divisive secret meetings for a while.

Maybe they have left as well to join Roger at the RFL.

I seriously doubt that this is the outcome of the fans survey.. I'm not sure if I can renew for this coming season.

coincidentally, we're playing you right at the end of the rounds as well again, this 'random fixture' generator seems pretty un-random to me.
No doubt when we're both in the super 8's our fixture will be one of the last two rounds. again, random.

| When certain games are removed from the random generator, ie local Easter derbies, ground share adjustments for football and RU. Then the margin for random change becomes small. And the fixture programme start to look slightly repetitive, year on year.

| Id be interested to know the average age of the posters on this board. Sundays might suit folk who are retired or no longer want to go out before and after for a few scoops but Friday nights and Saturdays are the way forward for getting people and new support through the turnstiles.
if you were thinking about going to a wire game and getting into the game what for the first time, would attract you the most?
A) A Friday night under floodlights. Good atmosphere, start of the weekend and a bit of a social with your mates on the ale before and after with no worries about work in the morning.
B) A Saturday afternoon/Evening. Get into town earlyish. enjoy a drink and some food, a good buzz around the pubs. oppositions fans get to the game earlier and do the same. Good craic to be had by all.
C) A Sunday afternoon with 0 atmosphere, low crowds because non season ticket holders cant be d spending 2 hours stood watching Huddersfield or wakey who brought their traveling support on a minibus. Oh and work in the morning.
Friday all day for me. I don't mind Saturday evening but Saturday afternoons are daft with open age amateur games kicking off at 2pm.

| Clashing with amateur rugby on a Saturday afternoon is just about as daft a decision as you can imagine

| Those Saturday evening games were always my favourite. Catalans are lucky buggers!
6pm KO would give the local game enough time to be finished and at the game

| Friday night games are the best for me, I used to like Saturday night matches too when they were the superleagues allocated sky slot. I don't like Thursday matches or Sunday matches due to working the next day, nothing to do with ale I just feel that my mind is usually elsewhere, I don't even enjoy watching Thursday matches on sky the same as a Friday match.

| I travel from Coventry to Wigan, have done for the last 25+ years and even though Friday afternoon/evening is absolute crap on the M6 usually 3+ hours to do 100 miles I still prefer Friday night games to any other....only problem I have is Hull away on a Friday, have to book 1/2 days holiday to make kick off....

| What is the saving on a South Stand Season Ticket for a season compared to PAYG for each game. I don't think you need to miss many to be better off PAYG.

Assuming you finish top 4 and have 4 home play off games you're looking at about £80(ish) I think. that's just using some quick maths and rounded numbers so take it with a pinch of salt.

This sound like something the off the Warrington casuals Facebook page..
I'm 41 and I favour Sunday's.. I'm not a washed up retired bloke who should be cast aside in favour of someone who prefers to finish work, get straight on the drink and spend the whole of the game (Friday night as some prefer) walking back and forth to the bar for the entire game.. Then leave the match and get on the jagerbombs and spend Saturday lay in my pit..
As it goes I do enjoy a few scoops before and after the game and yes I have got work on a Monday morning but I'm able to drink in moderation and first and foremost I go to watch the rugby not go on a pi$$ up..
One more thing this myth about the atmosphere being poor on a Sunday makes me laugh..in my time watching Wire I've been to plenty of night games with poor atmospheres and plenty Sunday's with brilliant atmospheres ... The fact is we never play the top teams on a Sunday now and that's why the atmosphere is muted.. Not because of the time of day ..
Tony Smith doesn't like Sunday's just like he doesn't like playing wingers on the wing..

I like Friday and Saturday games, they aren't a problem for me as my job permits it, but I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Put Pie/Stains on a Sunday afternoon rather than a Thursday, the fans will come and the atmosphere will follow.
Look on the bright side, at least the Monday night rugby idea was abandoned. I'm sure we had a Monday night game against Wigan 2 or 3 years ago that was close to a sell out.

Because top teams don't want to play on a sunday. they want to play on Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays because they get coverage and mentioned on television or are on shown on sky. Sundays are a thing of the past. It's a day for junior rugby and small clubs in Yorkshire who don't mind playing in front of crowds of 1000 max and have a tombola as half time entertainment.
