ken took a gamble this season with the prices etc, he will have to raise the price to keep improving the squad , otherwise the new fans will stop coming . £150 would be a good price to watch a top 4 team next season

I have been a season ticket holder for the last 20 years or so, and I have quoted how I remember it, if you feel I have my history wrong, I am interested in knowing where?

Or have you made this up? Anyone can make claims up and then when asked about them back out. I am genuinely interested if I have missed an initiative out, but I have certainly never had access to any cheap or revolutionary season tickets, and as I pointed out in my post, the kids deals were in well before Deakin's rather short time at Warrington.

EDIT: just thinking back, and there was one year where ST holders received a free home shirt with their ticket. The quality was terrible and caused more bad feeling than good and the scheme was scrapped after one year. That may have been under Deakin.

The press statement talks about the next phase, so I don't think this will simply be an announcement about a price increase.

All we have discussed here is price, but maybe there will be more initiatives in the season ticket to justify the price increase. Hull KR have just launched a membershp scheme with added benefits, maybe this kind of thing could be wrapped in to the ticket.

Like I said earlier, I would be surprised if he stood in the middle of the pitch to announce a major price increase, when he could do that by mail or online.

It has to be an increase because it refers to this seasons prices being a one off.

Whatever it is, I'm having one!

there is bound to be an increase the issue is by how much and what else is going to be linked in with it.

Ken wont be coming on the pitch to say season tickets are going up by £30 or £50 or £100.

there is something else planned will there be an announcement of a a new player, something to do with shares, a members club, anything that will soften the blow of an increase.

At the end of the day it does not really matter to me i will be there next season.

I am more concerned we put in a better performance against Wire than we did against catalans the last time Ken made a big announcement

A free shirt with a ST is a substantial pricing structure change for a club and a different ST model.

So your accusation of me making it up was groundless? You do not see fit to edit out your numbnuts suggestion that I backed out.

Marsden give it a rest, your boring the off me, contribute to the thread or dont bother at all, your nit picking is getting tedious to say the least

Lee

Glad to do so. I am sure Dave T has learned something about his club.

Surely references to your booty breaks the AUP

I would expect something innovative from KD.

What have Town done this time around?

Yes that went through my head too



In terms of the converted I think it would have to be a atronomical prices increase to stop them renewing, the issue that KD would like to overcome and is serious about changing, is getting the people of Huddersfield to regularly turn out and purchase themselves a ST, support their local club.

A small increase in price would be palatable, a substantial one and we may lose the waverers, and maybe for good. If we are serious about having a large fanbase and building block for the future growth of the club, we must make going to the games a must and affordable means for families, and their friends. KD with his generous offer this season has really got the ball rolling, it needs a gentle push and before long it will be unstoppable, a gentle push KD please.

A big signing will help and encourage those who follow the game, but those who don't really know the difference between a Danny Brough and a Danny Sculthorpe it won't really whet the appetite and encourage them to come along and purchase a ticket for the ride.

Some on field success and we'll be the talk of the town not in a negative defeatist manner but in a positive and chest out full of pride manner. A good pricing structure maintained and a safe and friendly pre, post and during the game experience is needed and we'll have them hooked for life.

(Like what I said above DG ---My moneys safe!!)



But It isnt us lot that Ken has to lure -- so results ---and costs -- have quite an effect, Im suggesting, on the number of new converts that are [uretained[/u !

Considering the number of discounted tickets available during the season and number of games on Sky I don't think the new ST holders would stomach a large increase. Also, in the present economic climate of rising bills and uncertainty in the employment market I would probably consider binning my Giants Express membership to cover a substantial increase in my ST.

If Marsdengiant is alluding to the Town deal of cheap STs in a certain area of the stadium then this may be another option for KD (although perhaps in the wings of the Antich & Direct Golf stands rather than add to extra matchday costs by opening up the Fantastic Media lower tier).

No, I told you about the shirt offer, so how have I leanred something from me telling it to myself?

Well done.

You eventually remembered it with much prompting. Shame you could not have done so before insisting Deakin never did anything re STs and a feeble attempt to challenge me.....see you at the game

I have no idea what Town do. No interest to me. What exactly did they do?

You highlighted it yourself.

wire aint annouced their prices at all:S have they:Slol

I failed to highlight the bit telling me which areas and the types of offers being made.

If youre not interested --why ask???

No. Not at all. I didn't need much prompting. TBH, a couple of your fans told me not to bother, and they were right.

You didn't name anything that my club had done. You quoted what I told you. You are simply an idiot, and even your own fans think so.

Please see your PM

I really hope something lovely happens with the ST announcement.

a break in the clouds and a shaft of light shining down on Mr Davy would be nice.

I fear he may disappear into a puddle though.
