Fantastic, everyone

Unbelievable. Just shows you there is and always has been an appetite for RL in Wakefield. If we got over 5000 that would be monumental.

The squad is still incomplete so a few quality signings could be the push needed to reach the 5000 + sales.

If you’ve bought tickets for the North stand (and there’s room in the West stand) will you be allowed to have an afternoon in the West stand? Mix it up a bit?

no your not coming, not having your sort down clown corner

I don’t blame you

I know the tickets are subsidised and that Matt Ellis has already pledged to spend a lot of money, however he must be massively encouraged by these season ticket numbers. It’s not just the enthusiasm being shown by the Trinity faithful, it’s also the fact that for everyone who buys a ticket there’s a projected profit from their association and attendance. Such things as buying a few drinks, pies, snacks, shirts & other merchandise. That extra good will and extra income might even persuade him to sign someone extra special to round out the squad.

Like some others have said, I’m not sure what to make of this upward surge by the club, it’s so out of character

I think the main thing is that those buying or receiving tickets actually turn up on match day.

Exactly, if anywhere near the numbers turn up it will be a great success. If we end up with a half empty north stand then there are learnings to be had.

Until home game one we won’t see exactly how successful this new model is. The proof will be in the pudding I guess.

Hopefully the remaining 1000 tickets in the East stand can be sold.

A process whereby the free junior tickets have to be confirmed a week before the match else they go back on general sale could work.

So my nephew who has just got a job and now resides down in Basingstoke, and is a big Trin fan, won't be able to stand with the rest of us in the North stand, if he comes up home for the weekend, even though he will be coming with my bro ??
Seems a bit harsh to make him go stand on his own on the West Terrace ??

That's how a sell out works.

He should have got a North Stand season ticket.

Harsher than not selling a ST to someone who wants to attend every week, just so that he can come along IF he comes home for a weekend?

No. It's not.

The Championship season doesn't start until mid March so it will be interesting to see what crowds we get for the early cup games when neither competition will be eligible for season ticket use.

Where has that been confirmed?

Read it somewhere yesterday.

a junior ticket just on the off chance it might get used.

I’ve been watching the club for nearly 50 years and have never seen anything quite like this.

I've been in the shop today and it's still very busy selling season tickets. We may hit the 5000, totally unbelievable.

In the past 50 years 98, 2000 & 2006 apart we’ve built up expectations and attracted stay away fans to come back only to put on a shi…terrible show and send them all home disappointed.

The trick now, Championship or not, is to play some attractive Rugby League, show some togetherness with the fans and most of all win matches, maybe even Cups. If we’re going to have 5000 maybe 6000 people attending we need to get them hooked for life!

Quote ="phe13"Not seen it confirmed by RL, but ... https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ex ... dar-emerge'" I don’t think this is a bad thing for us, normally I’d be against it though. Given the reality we are a new team with a new coach and new combinations I think the more game time they get together prior to going into the league campaign the better.

Hopefully gives more time to see if anyone drops out of the NRL or SL of quality that’ll fit well for us before the season starts.
