12 league + 3 or 4 qualifiers. Is that correct??

Just states all league home games, whatever that actually means.

Guaranteed seat but not a seat in a fixed location. Can see that creating a few issues. Such as two people arrive together but one seat at one end of the row and the second seat at the other end. Can the whole row move along so we can sit together.

Totally agree southern reiver.
If you're a family of 4. Two kids might be sitting elsewhere ... Crazy !!

On the flip side it allows you to buy tickets for friends and you can sit together.

Get there early if you're worried you can't hold hands.

No it won't allow you to buy tickets for friends and sit with them. Those blocks of seats will be for Gold Ticket holders only.

Presumably there will be match day tickets for sale to upper grandstand assuming there is not a 100% take up of seats for Gold ?

For a family I just don't see the benefits. Last year I paid £350 for Player Sponsor inc season ticket plus £60 for my son's membership (turned out u16s were allowed in for free but not to worry).

This year to sit in the same area we would need Gold, and ok, there are a few extras but in essence its £250+£200=£450, with no player sponsorship.

My view now is either Bronze for us both or just buy a ticket on the day. It also removes the incentive of me bringing some of his mates, who enjoyed it and were starting to get a taste for it.

I am sure some thought has gone into this model and there will be winners and losers.

Is the 1980 club good value, is the hospitality good?

the club said we have listened to your feedback no one asked me for my feedback anyone else asked

Nobody asked us either. Perhaps they spoke to the LBSA.

Hospitality is so so. Depends on the day. It says players in attendance but that is not always so. It says waitress service but is not unknown to produce a buffet. Says prosecco on arrival I have never had this so depends what they do next season. You do get a good viewing seat, you do get coffee/tea at half time if they remember to get it ready and they say players sheet but I have never had one. But you always get a programme and also parking is included. They could make the occasion a lot more special if they welcomed people, explained what happens on the day and what the protocol is, where toilets etc are and looked like they wanted people there rather than treat them as a cash cow.

I have to say that if you are happy to watch the game from the around the bar area. As many do. Then Bronze membership at £ 99 is extremely good value.
Fifteen or sixteen games for that. Two pints per game will cost more!

Have tried to book season tickets, not getting anywhere, have given up until later. It is only £1200 worth. You can always rely on The Broncos.

Depressing stories already. The current season ticket holders need holding close and to be shown some love but instead it sounds like a bunch are (rightly) alienated over losing their seats for 2017. Why does the club always manage to do this?

EDIT: Facebook suggests a bit of a backtrack on the club's part. Credit for that.

I've just bought our seats and you *CAN* choose your seats for Gold members. The clubs FB page says "good news, gold season tickets will be reserved seating, so that people can still sit together. Blocks B, C and D, and only when booked online. Seats are first come, first served!" Must be thankful for small mercies.

i also booked (easily) and booked seat!!

The club should be commended for releasing tickets so early

And we will have replica shirts before Christmas I expect.

Booked on line which went smoothly. The renewal discount is already applied so no issues, even got existing seat for next year. Heard though that not everyone has been so lucky.

I initially had a problem on Monday booking out tickets for next season. In the end got it sorted, went to book our seats from last season. Already gone!!!!
I am still undecided as what to do. Do I move somewhere else or instead of getting Gold Season Tickets, we go for Bronze and sit in the bar area. Thus saving me £700. Only at the Broncos.

That's the dilema. If I was on my own I would cop the price rise for the 'Gold' area, but as my sons membership has gone up from £60 to £200, I am swaying towards the £99. What I haven't seen anywhere is the cost for a match day ticket in the Gold area ? Also, I am in two minds about player sponsorship this year.

Adult 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone from £195 to £225*.
Concession 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone from £120 to £180*.
Mine have gone from an U12 (£60 for 'seat-in-the-grandstand') but now count's as a concessions this year. A 3x increase*.
Gold U12 with 'seat-in-the-grandstand' has gone down to £40!
I've stumped up for all of 3 of us as we're a full-time club and expect to contribute toward the costs of being so.

*with the 10% Early Bird Discount

Player sponsorship, now there is another situation where much is promised, yet in my experience, little is delivered.

On sponsorship i was contacted by amanda, agreed to renew, players shirt from this year in the post. All seemed very smooth!

The club always seems able to shoot itself in the foot at any given opportunity, especially disappointing after such a good season on the field. How hard would it have been to allow existing season ticket holders a time frame in which to book their existing seat for next season? We wouldn't have even noticed the 25 - 30% price hike for the Gold Season tickets. But no 'it's first come, first served'. Our seats had gone by the time we'd had chance to log on!

I'm amazed to learn that the new season ticket arrangements hadn't been discussed with the supporters association. The club just seems to show a blatant disregard to fans who've stuck with the club through some very thin and challenging times.

I'm not convinced they'll even be bothered whether or not we renew our season tickets 9still waiting for response to my last email sent 6 days ago), but if we do it will be the £99 ones.
