The area of the ground we are in is reserved. I had a look at the section to see if there was any spare seats, to maybe reserve one for my 3 year old who will want to come in future (hopefully). There was a lot of spare seats around us. It was early Sat morning when we went and unless these people went later in the day, they where running the risk of losing there reserved seat. Or just not renewing.

About to hit 5,000 sales.

Sounds like desperation to me. They are obviously behind on last year and need a boost so they can state sales are on par.

They are about the same as this time last year aren't they?

Being honest I do find myself hoping they are a couple of thousand down on last year just so the board take notice that keeping Agar in charge has gone beyond a joke

Not sure really. I agree it sounds on the low side, but also would have thought a lot of Southstanders would wait until 31st December (I know I would).



Realistically, it's a big ask to retain the same number of passholders as last year's record. Guess we'll not really know until end December.

Just had a quick look back and last year we hit 7,500 season ticket sales on 23rd December.

me and my lad sit in what was previously an unreserved section in the east stand (block 1icon_cool.gifand when i looked at the plan in the ticket office,there were loads of untaken seats,and we have managed to sit around where we usually do,so i am happy at that!i do believe that pass sales are down on last year,but a lot of it is simply down to financial pressure on people.

That's the positive spin, but the recession was in full swing this time last year and we set a record sales total,

We've still got our passes to get, we sit in the South Stand and have until 31st Dec before the discount period ends. We always leave it til last min and I suspect a lot of other people do. I think we'll be looking at around the 8,000 - 8,500 mark which is still very good.

A 10% fall is good??

Second or third highest ever season ticket sales would be bad??

You immune to the economic climate?

Ah yes, maybe, dole is up!

I reckon its fair to say that weather pass sales this year are a success or not depends on overall sales figures for super league. If pass sales in general are down and so are ours then its the economy, if pass sales in general stay the same or go up and ours are down then its because fans aren't happy with the club.

Obviously you have to forget about Bradford for this one.

If only you were paying me to sit at home on Rlfans all day.....

economic climate was same last year, drop is therefore a true one

Yer but the Tories are in charge now Dave...

Whilst it won't be good for the club economically, I think a drop in season pass sales will put a bit of pressure on the club to perform on the field.
After the last few years of dour rugby, that won't be a bad thing.

i think the club will get around the 9k mark in season tickets ok its dissapointing to drop a little but aslong as we keep around the same attendence figures and maybe improve a little then ill be happy

how can we moan about a small drop in season tickets, there is another 5 or 6 clubs who would love half the amount we sell

5000th pass holder will recieve



Bit of a poor show from the club, the people who renew year in year out miss out on the chance because they got their passes early. I know they are doing it to boost sales but it is a bit of a kick in the teeth for the ones who bought early.

Club apologists get ready!!

Surefire sign that sales are down sufficiently on last year to make them concerned about it

I agree they are sounding a bit concerned now.

no surprise after the lack of a new half-back, the recession, the disappointing end to the season, and the general lack of faith in Agar.

If we hadn't splashed out on Westerman I reckon sales would have been even slower.

Pass sales were always going to be lower this year. A few factors

1, No success on the field
2, No major signings
3, Poor style of play
4, Poor coach
5, Financial climate
6, No backup halfback for the umpteenth year running
