Obviously not with covid, but for a lot of people over the last 5-10 years it comes down to, am I being entertained and getting value for money, compared to the cinema, theatre, a meal out etc. A lot of people just can't afford to do multiple activities can they, so something has to give. I know quite a few who used to stand near us, at least 10-15 who haven't bothered in the last 5 years say, which is a shame 'cause they missed out on 2017&'18, which were 2 of the most enjoyable and entertaining seasons in the 30 odd years I've been watching. I can honestly say though last season and so far this, no matter the ability levels of the players who take to the field, the entertainment value is not very good is it? We are boring to watch, it's predictable and tedious, and eventually people vote with their feet.........I changed jobs 2 years ago, and now have to work flexible hours, so can't always make games depending when they are played, so haven't got a season ticket for the first times in God knows how long.

I’ve said exactly the same on many a thread about the chicken and egg , you are talking to the converted , it’s the apathy of the stay always that are the problem , and as much as we’d like they won’t return until we have a consistent presence in the field. We’ve been a yo-yo club for far too long and set out sights low and this is the culmination I’m afraid . There is no simple answer apart from stringing some rousing performances together with hopefully will temp the stay aways taste buds once again

I cant always make every game either i dont know why the club doesnt do a part season ticket for say 6 games especially this year with games changing start times etc and charge accordingly its not like we are ever going to get to sellout levels for any game on current form even with away fans allowed and its revenue for the club too they could even make them like the old fashioned bus saverstrips we had in my youth

MC has covered this a number of times.

He says it's the ST holders who keep the club going over the winter, when there is no other income, and as such, it is they who should be rewarded, with the reduced prices a membership brings.

What does a ST holder get? Maybe 2 free games?? That would mean a half ST would get you 1 free game.

What would you expect to see from a 6 game ST? A free bag of chips?

Bang on the money Mopsey. I watch Wakefield as I have for many many years I have little interest outside my club or for the NRL the game as you say really is on a downward slide. Friday was a perfect example of how bad the game has become. Too many rule changes confusion with rules and inconsistent decision making. This makes the game confusing and poor to watch

Do not know how many S T holders Wires have but just put game on ,and some parts of the ground there are packed together.

I agree Fordy. We have a problem when the hard core supporters spit the dummy out.
We all know how the teams performing, but you would have thought the hard core would have been busting a gut to get in and support the team after all this time!
As for the other 96000 people living in Wakefield they must have some bloody good hobbies and pastimes elsewhere.

Is that what the shop said? Do we know why it’s not been online from the off if they intend to do it come Thursday anyway? I’ve no chance getting over With the shop opening hours

I assume it's because they can't keep the shop sales and online sales in sync so don't want to over sell.
I think we are watched quite tightly on the following the rules thing.

Makes sense I guess

Club have just put out an update re ticket sales, only 450 tickets left

With half of those being on the Western Terrace so ideal for any Hull KR fans to mop up any spares. None left for North Stand.

No away supporters allowed.
Hopefully we'll fill it ourselves.

Nowt stopping them from driving over to the club shop and buying tickets in person though.

My understanding is that if that happened, it would risk what we can do next time as the rule is home fans only.
It's not worth it for a couple of hundred tickets. We ought to be able to sell to our own.

It's not a government or local authoity rule, it's a policy by the individual clubs. Away fans are allowed, hence why there was some Hull KR fans at Cas last night. It was confirmed by Cas' ticketing manager to a HKR fan who shared the email on twitter.

There's no way of knowing who is a home fan and who is an away fan, unless they turn up decked out in club colours.

Fair enough, I didn't know that.
Get them in then.

Still disappointed we couldn't get more of our own though.

Yeah that is really sad that for the first home game with fans for 14 months (??), that we can't even persuade 3600 people to come back, but I guess it is a true reflection of where we are

if you hear a shout of "Gerrem on saard" on Sunday throw 'em out they'll be from Hull. Or ask them to say "phone", if they say "Fern" they're from Hull.

To be fair though some won’t come because of Covid still, It’s not been easy to get tickets for some people who live further away and also let’s be blunt we’ve been crap for two years. That said I do agree really it is quite sad

If you go by people on here then there's an easy way. Anyone who doesn't look depressed is probably not a Wakey fan!!!!

Fair point, don't sell a ticket to anyone who has a smile on their face as they clearly support a team who can beat Cas.

Harsh, but fair.

https://wakefieldtrinity.com/blog/2021/ ... ters-faqs/ The club site has just been updated with FAQ's but it incorrectly implies that season ticket holders need another ticket to get in. I have just phoned the club shop and they have confirmed that season ticket holders who are booked in DO NOT need another ticket, and they are rectifying this on the website.
