| Quote ="milkybarkid"Tbh I was confused with your reply to him, he started with "question" and ended with a "?", but I'll make it clear that I'm not try nor wanting to debate that. Sometimes on here all you see is words, lots of them and but very little points being made.
I do remember there was cut price tickets for the London game and that did very little (granted London do travel light) so perhaps more brain storming is needed from those in comfy office chairs. The club need not fail but more has to be done and only they can do it no matter how much chatter is going on in here.
I do have the opportunity to attend tonight but as I've said I'm not going to but what would be interesting is those who are bringing friends for £10 to ask them if they're gonna come to the next home game at full price. If the answer is no then post the reasons why then maybe MC and the boys will start to have an idea where to begin addressing attendance issues.'"
After 7 points out of 8 I would have though any fan who had the opportunity to go, would go.
Had it been after the no show at odsal, I wouldn't have blamed you! but that seems a bit strange.

I'll not refer to the debacle of the "confiscated bottle" and a certain moderator which would make my point valid but may I also point out why no one has asked why I'm not attending?
Secondly, I'll go to the "us lot" comment. Sadly I'm not savvy enough to do multiple quotes in a post but on here it is a case of the regulars and the irregular posters and if people dare break the mold and display other opinions then they are subject to a barrage of total disagreement (like now!). Continuing from that, I go back to what I said, when season tickets went back up to full price regulars on here moaned like mad about those who didn't renew but now we have a cheap day its fine, come on guys we have a gross display of double standards.

Crowds are down, and we're trying to get a few more speccies through the gate for a game, that's on sky, on a Thursday, against a club from the other side of t'hills, so not many travelling fans.
Can't see anything wrong with that, you obviously have a different view from your armchair.

No it's obviously a 1 game offer. maybe interspersed with the off game vs London or Catalan. Worth a shot. If we carry on with no action, we'll have no fans left, then all you whingers will be left sat there scratching your backsides wondering what happened to Wakefield Trinity.

Interesting
Last night the action the club took to get more fans through the turnstiles was "ST holders bring a friend for a tenner", which i think worked last night as Widnes only brought about 50 supporters.
I asked should the club make the remaining 3 home games a tenner, to which you said no, but then in your next breath your saying, if we carry on with no action, we'll have no fans left.
So what other action could you advise the club to take, to get more spectaters down for the last 3 home games.

Can i ask you a question?
What other action do you think the club SHOULD have to take after supplying the people of Wakefield with a team that has take 9 points from 10, and beaten Leeds and Wigan in front of their own fans??
MyPOV is that the club can always and should always be doing something, but when oh when are the people going to be prepared to pay for it?
I'll answer your question, if the club want to get the missing spectators back down for the last three games, most of them will need picking up from home or the pub, will need paying into the game, and will need at least a free pie or pint or both.
This isn't about the club, its about the people...plain and simple.

Agreed. The club have done their bit with 9 points from 10 on home soil. It's now up to the people of Wakefield to decide if they want to come and be a part of it.

| Let's make tickets cheaper for the masses and not just friends of season ticket holders. As you say WF2, last night worked, even I got off the sofa and parted with my money (after some persuasion from my friend) and saw a fantastic game right down to the wire. With just 3 home games left let's bite the bullet and get as many down to BV as we can

a simple no would have done

I think you are missing the point.
A season ticket isn't just rewarding those that can afford to pay up front. It is to get money in early for the club.
They don't want to reduce income by giving discount tickets, but it is worth it if you pay in advance because they have guarenteed money and it can sit in their bank rather than yours.
They don't want numbers, they want money

| More need money than want money!
I think kids should get in free (or kids for a quid) with a full paying adult. I'd have to think that if I had kids, would I be able to afford to take them? I don't think I could.
We could also go with an overseas supporters club? With membership they could get free access to recordings of all home games. Instead of having to produce DVDs and posting, upload the games to a members area on the interwebs.

Just out of interest, what price would you be willing to pay for such a facility?

Said it a while back, the club ought to get exclusive interviews, content and full matches with commentary on the internet and charge an annual subscription. Perhaps it could be offered as part of the season ticket package but say a £50 charge per annum would boost the coffers no end.

If it was every home game then probably 100 - 150 would be fair - at the minute i py extra to get the sky games on my cable package so could ditch that
no point buying DVDs as they don't work on our tv over here so would have to be online solution

| Wigan have the facility for online video content. They also show extended highlights unlike the usual 5 minutes that anyone can access. It's a good idea although I think it should be somewhere around £5 per month.

I guess it depends on who its aimed at
if its fans who have been to game and want extended highlights then i agree 5 quid a month is about right
but if you're catering to people like me who only get to 1 game a year and want to watch full games you could probably charge more
i'm not sure how much the upload and storage would cost the club

| I would certainly have subscribed,over the last 9 years ,to some sort of extended video /interviews etc package and know many more who would have.
Back home in Wakey October so not relevant to me now, but great idea that should be developed.
