And there is where the policy breaks down. Liversidge, with its WF postcode, is further away than, say, Rothwell with its LS postcode, yet the supporter further away would have to collect their ticket whilst the nearer one wouldn't. Not a great plan IMHO.

They have to chose one way of doing it and WF postcodes is as good a way as any.
Some will gain some won't.

But the service in the shop is excellent in my opinion. I've been in twice for ticket and shirt sales and couldn't have wished for better service.
This is light years ahead of where we were.

Very true and by making people pick them up from the shop chances are they will buy something while they are there. It's almost like there's some kind of forward thinking going on.

anyone should be able to get a postage delivery where ever they live

just go for a UK recorded delivery and add a handling charge...... simple

Not forward enough unfortunately if some people WITH WF postcodes ticked the box requesting post out.

The option should be as snowie has suggested - if you want post, you pay - it seems to be the way with all other forms of ticket sales. Then add a handling charge, a credit card charge and a charge for anything charge.......



Ooop, went off a bit there!

Imagine the cost of posting all tickets out 3800 x 0.43p= £1748 and this cost would have to be covered by the club. This is at a time when the club needs as much funds as possible.

It is still a time of transition and how much better are things now. season tickets have gone from 1500 to over 3800 and still rising. all good things come to those who wait!! Next year will be much better im sure.

Have to agree really. The club can't afford to spend any money that isn't absolutely necessary. There would always be a problem like there is with schools - a boundary has to be somewhere and there will always be one person in the next street that's outside the boundary. Maybe if a person can't resonably get to the shop they could ring in and do a credit/debit card charge of (say) £1 to make it easy and then it could be posted out.

I went in on Saturday and the place was really busy, but all the staff were really helpful, jolly and efficient. Certainly beat many other shops in the Ridings. Lots of people buying shirts (including me) so it seems to be going well. Long may it continue.

That value is not strictly true as many would be duplicate addresses - but it would cost a lot non the less. I'm sure next years offer will be phrased slightly differently based on what has been learned this year.
