I agree. I think the price we have now is about right for this sort of deal.

Spot on. Keep the price but increase the target and increment that year on year. If its successful by 2014 the club should have approximately 5000 members.

I agree 5000 is a good target to aim for come season 2014.

That said, the performances on field in 2012 and beyond will play a part. Pull out a good season this year and there is potential for the ST sales next season to boom if a similar deal is offered next year.

Why thank you

, but ay thank you to all the Wilcats that went out put their hands in their pocket and backed the team they love, and got their season tickets





"Together We Are Stronger"
P.s.
If you have not got yours, then sit back have a think, do you like love this club, do you want to see a winning team,would you one day love to be at a cup/grand final with your team, if so then please lets start to turn around this club now in 2011 and GET your season tickets...

That is the figure needed for membership of a club in the franchise application.

Thing is 2014 could potentially be much, much easier than this year or next.
2014 should be our first year at Newmarket. I would expect ST sales to boom.
2013- 3500 should be our target.
2014- IMO we could sell 6000+ with a couple years if stability.

As I've always said: if you want to stand at NM, you'll need a ST, and possibly get one bought asap to avoid disappointment.

Lets get some reality here

The club have sold at least 2500 season tickets (all paid for) by the 1st October, this is a real first for the club in its culture change.

There is no reason why we will not have 5000 members by the start of the season, I am pretty sure the marketing area will be well aware of the advantages with young kids getting them hooked on rwb buying shirts bringing an adult etc. This is a longer term issue but none the less very important.

For me the bottom line is this we sold around 600 adult passes for this season I bought mine before admin and I am very grateful the club honoured this. With concessions and kids it appears we had about 1500 season ticket holders, this has been well and truly smashed.

There is cash in the club for signings not the tax man.

There is 1873 again bringing in cash flow weekly and whilst some on here dont the odds its a lottery with a purpose to benefit OUR club nothing else.

I am very happy with the direction we are going, its business like and responsive to fans ideas.

Oh and against all odds we are competing against the best next year hopefully we will be much more competative.

I'm as thick as BigAl et al when it comes to misunderstanding the initial offer. All I know now is that the target has been reached and any tickets bought before 4pm today will be £100.
From a personal viewpoint, it's been a tricky one. I usually buy one for my dad (concession) and for neices and nephew @£20, but as I'm on the other side of the world for all but the last 2 or 3 home games of season I usually pay on the gate. At £100 I was considering buying one for myself, £100 now versus £60 when I get back; when I'll be not working and skint.
I've put off buying one up to now because I'm skint and if it did go up £175 I'd probably I'd have probably paid the extra on a guilt trip of not wanting to ask for the £100 back.
Now the target has been met, the decision is clear; I'll be going down today to buy them all.

Hope it's a long queue.

P.S. I'll have to wait until after pay day to join the Supporters' Trust and the 1873 lottery.

Putting aside my own views on the wording of the offer and the ability to claim the extra £75 (why admit that I was wrong when I can never be proven to be

), I think the club has done a sterling job in shifting 2,500 tickets in the short space of time. I am encouraged by their desire to get out there and promote the club, and if that enthusiasm in maintained, the future is a lot brighter than it has been for the last few years. Just think, it is only a few months since the bosses were begging for our money just to get themselves out of a hole. Now, the new bosses are engaging with the fans and pitching our growth as something the fans are doing with the club.

Onwards and upwards.

I've not had a season ticket for a number of years now, more or less since my little 'un was born in 2002. I got out of the habit of going, had different priorities in my life, and to cut a long story short RL slipped off the radar.

I think what the club has done is absolutely fantastic - I still keep up-to-date with what is happening at Trin, but not enough to actually make a commitment to go to games.

Perhaps I'm the sort of person the club is trying to get onboard. I used to be a loyal supporter, have had season tickets throughout the 90's, and even on one occasion managed to do a full season home and away. But I can't give that sort of time or commitment anymore. But with the club offering a season ticket for just £100 it now doesn't matter to me if I miss a few games - I am still going to get value for money by having a season ticket and the club gets £100 of my hard earned whether I attend or not. I've even bought one for my daughter, who I know won't go to many games at all, but for 20 quid it's worth having one just in case she does want to take in the odd game or two.

And who knows, if I catch the Trin "bug" again this may well be the beginning of a new commitment to the club for me, which would not have happened had Trin not made this fantastic gesture to the people of wakefield.

I'm happy that I've bought a season ticket and I'm already looking forward to the new season!

With the 2500 number being hit and the squad taking shape nicely the feel good factor is back at Trinity (for me anyway). Well done all.

Its a good effort but we shouldn't be happy with our lot, we should keep pushing hard all the way to xmas. A few tasty signings and the figures could look very good indeed next year.

According to twitter we've nearly got 3000 sold.

Another 1000 at x-mas and 500 b4 then and after and should be looking at 4.5k Mark hopefully

Agree totally. It is just nice that things are looking up after things being so bleak both on and off the pitch this season. Hopefully 4000 tickets minimum will be achieved. Happy days.

I'm glad we all agree, we are happy with the direction we are going, but lets not stop lets keep push the tickets the club, lets all make a aim to bring some one new to a game, a work mate/nice/nephew/son/daughter/a family member.. ect... come on people we can do this...

Times up on that offer. It would be nice to know the number sold.

Shop was busy at 3.30.
3 more buying tickets in the shop and 2 on the phone in the less than 5 minutes I was in.

First of all well done. This offer has got people to commit to a season ticket who wouldnt have for all sorts of reasons before. What I would like to see no Monday is a slight price increase to say 120 pounds for adults thus still making buying a ticket excellent value but still paying respect to the fans who took the original offer up and not making it look like a sham.

Absolutely - that's called 'continuous improvement' and it's always a good thing to strive for.

When I bought my ticket for £100 I knew that I would be unable to attend all the games. I purchased my ticket as a loyal supporter with what I thought was an understanding that if 2500 of the hardcore supporters bought their tickets before the deadline the supporters who for what ever reason were undecided or had never purchased a ticket before would be entitled to the £100 offer after the deadline. I bought my ticket thinking that I was contributing to getting as many fans at Belle Vue as possible. I find it distasteful that some posters on here seem more interested in what other people pay for their ticket than what they have paid for theirs. The £100 offer should be extended to the opening weekend of the season. Because I bought my ticket early I do not believe that I should have any more benefits than the supporters who are unable or reluctant due to financial considerations to buy early. The majority of us who bought at £100 could afford £175 its the others who could not who would benefit from this offer and now if the ticket prices are increased they will be alienated. If Glover decides to increase the price i for one will feel cheated.

Perhaps we should camapaign for Glover to give alms to the poor every Sunday. He could annoint their feet as well.

People have had close to 2 months to sign up to what is the best deal we've ever had offered to us. It is a business though, not a charity, and as such, I'd trust the business acumen of those now in charge, who have demonstrated their success elsewhere and have managed to smash our number of season ticket holders 4 months before the start of the season. I'd love it if we could continue to give away the product below market value forever and attract more people, but there are other factors to be weighed up which mean such a strategy is unlikely to be as straightforward as some on here would paint it.

I agree, as much as we want to attract as many supporters as we can, we need to justify that with the necessary income.
From the point of view of attendances though, another 606 per game will elevate us above cas in attendances and get us up in the 7000s.

Sorry but i've heard some right rubbish on this thread! Season tickets were guaranteed to be £100 IF you and 2499+ others signed up and paid before October. I did and i'm not bothered if they go up or stay the same come Monday. The offer was there to be taken, if people didn't do it then it was their choice. A sale is a sale, when it's gone it's gone!

I was told it was made quite clear in the Wakey Express this week that if the target was reached the price would stay at £100. I've got mine at a price that I'm very happy with and it makes no difference to me what they sell them at now as long as it's what works best for the club.
