Anybody know about prices for this year? Was considering walk up to first game.

Move along......nothing to see here

I have to say that the lack of information here has a depressing familiarity about our off-field organisation. Are we the only club that still hasn't got tickets for next season on sale yet? I bought my season ticket for the Crusaders next season at the final home game of the last one and it's arrived and is sitting in my wallet now.

I understand the ticket details are being released tomorrow.

Better late than never. Delayed announcement to get a better impact? Hopefully tied into a decent marketing campaign up to the season launch event they might get a bit of momentum going.

"This week." according to FB. With apologies for delay.

Last week they were saying hopefully the 5th so it looks like they didn't quite manage it.

Negotiations dragging on?
Remember now......whilst I did admit to my thread title being ambiguous, I did. Say that ak wasn't happy with the agreement as was.........could it be that I was right?
Brave new dawn!

I think this is one aspect of the off-season that has been handled very badly. I hope that once the details/processes are in place, there'll be a big promotional push to everyone who bought a ticket last year. I've been waiting to grab 4 seats for quite some time.

As it happens, I don't think this week is too late to launch; as usual, it's the ominous silence and delay that worries me.

This is not really an issue for those of us who are already members - we are in £2 a month tickover mode waiting for the season to kick back in. Difficult to build up the season for newbies if we can't offer them membership pricing though - we're less than 6 weeks away from our first game.

As of today you can still ring up and join the membership scheme, you will be told that the rates are the same as last year. In fact, at no point has the membership scheme been unavailable, just that the Broncos haven't put the information on their new website.

Whether this will change when the ticket prices are announced I have no idea.

How bizarre.

It does seem odd that if everything is to be as it was that the broncos have not put it all up on their web page.

I am hoping for a reduction in membership prices as we are in a lower league now, and I am assuming it will include our "super 8" and possibly million pound match. Last year was expensive for what we had to endure!

I get the impression at the Tower Bridge event that it was all in the hands of Barnet - I did wonder if the ticket prices would be the same as last season - SL v Championship. I've 2 memberships since last season and I guess it will revert to £20 from next month. I guess its one part of the operation that Broncos don't have control over.
Dont hold your breath ...

I was told in July that AK and the Hive weren't happy to proceed in 2015 along the same lines as 2014. What I wasn't told was exactly what part or parts of the arrangement they weren't happy with.
It would seem that the delay in issuing ticketing info points to that being one of (if not the only) area that needed to be renegotiated, although the loss of our office space at Underhill as well as change of training pitch location may have to be factored in as well.
Personally, I'd prefer to see Hughes pay AK rent for the home games and training facilities and let him keep the bar/food revenue in return for the office space and for the club to keep all match ticket, season membership and shop revenues.
As for pricing? We are down to the bare bones of support now. I doubt the hard core that are left will stop coming if it remains at a score a game....and the number of away fans will be minimal.

I think we may be surprised about away fans. Apart from Wigan/, Leeds etc not all SL teams brought lots of fans. There may be a novelty factor for some Championship teams!

Agree with you about away fans, don't forget apart from Bradford it's a new ground to visit

As you can no doubt imagine, I have a comprehensive spreadsheet of all SL attendances for games either in the Capital or home games taken on the road.
Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Bradford are numbered 1-4 in the draw-ometer....I don't count teams like PSG who attracted a big crowd....and then vanished.
I've always taken Huddersfield, Salford and Catalans as the litmus test for actual crowds we can expect to attract on our own......with the "bigger" SL sides, there are always a good number of ex-pat northerners who will attend to watch "their" team......and given the average attendance in the Championship last year was 1,095, I suspect that Bradford, Leigh Fev and maybe Fax aside, we won't see many away fans.

I don't disagree with Michael that the "new place to visit" will impact a little, but it didn't impact last year when it was a new place to visit and you were pretty much guaranteed 2 points as well!



Edit:
1,217 fans watched us defeat Fev in the cup in 2013.....1,000 less than our season average. The Year before, 652 saw us defeat Desbury in the cup....1,900 less than our average that year.

Cup games weren't part of the season ticket, so attendance was extra - although only £10 if I recall. These games are always down on normal attendances, not really relevant.
How many were at the Barrow game? I seem to remember that being a dismal turnout.

From my observations with the Crusaders last season, I think that you've got it about right with the visiting support. Incidentally, the club needs to be a bit wary with Fev - they've an albeit very small number of travelling supporters who were a right Royal pain in the botty (mostly young lads wearing large flat caps) whose behaviour was such that the Cru looked at whether it might be necessary to segregate visiting fans.

For sl away fans London becomes expensive if you stay over the weekend, so i think for a lot of fans it became a choice of catalan or London. The new ground pull last year is not the same as champ clubs who only got us in the cc.
The fact we were virtually a dead rubber for every club last year with little chance of seeing a decent game was probably quite a factor as well.
Not forgetting that we will probably be seen alongside Bradford as the big fish to beat.

Gutters does have a point over the other Championship clubs even if he continues to repetitively ram down everyones neck. I suspect we won't be the only club who doesn't has a small away support this season. When Premier Sports suddenly discontinued their coverage of the Championship at the start of 2014, a senior producer said they didn’t lose any subscribers. It turned out the majority of subscribers were paying for the NRL (followed in popularity by ice hockey) not Featherstone, Dewsbury or Workington. Interesting and, perhaps, worrying times ahead.

Good for you being positive about potential.crowd numbers in 2015......i hope you're right and we see an increase in attendances at the hive, although I think 700 will be the average myself.

I never suggested that we would see an Increase in numbers on last year, I suggested that the away support from the championship sides may be higher than folk would expect, I think some of the home fans that we have lost may start to trickle back when the results are a bit more positive. Premier sport lost at least one subscriber, I only had it for champ rugby, it was actually quite entertaining much more so than NRL
