TBH they could have reduced the gate fee today even though i would lose out as a S/T holder.


Why should you? It's you're opinion and you're entitled to it but as far as I'm concerned it's a no. If the gate is low then it's low so be it, why do any club feel the need to justify themselves. If the club has costed it out that the cost of a match is X,Y and Z then that is what it is and everyone (with the odd exception) should pay it, always.

Frankly if the only reason someone can be bothered to give Wakey a try is because it's cheap then frankly I can do without them. Feel very strongly on this one.

Not against kids promotions, or even ladies days but to subsidise some lazy/complacent b*gger to leave the pub or armchair forget it.

If we had 5k fans and 5k ticket holders then reduced gate price for the odd game would work, but as you say it just won't add up.

I understand that view but IF they come back then its a winner, there are people out there who have never been before and may just enjoy and come back, if you don't dip your toe in the water you won't know if its cold :wink:

I agree with Vasty, no point in coming just for a one off because it is cheap, the point of this offer is to try and get people to come back.

We and a few mates got a couple of lads hooked so far and they have been to each of the home games plus Wigan and Leeds away. They would not have come if we did not ask them and tell them it's a good laugh.

Mainly due to the atmosphere going on near the score board so all good at the moment :lol:

I know the point you're making and it's a fair one, but for me it flies in the face of human nature. If you cheapen a product then IMHO it remains cheap.

The Bulls are a perfect example. When at the start they were doing well and swelling their crowds with freebies all seemed well. However now the folk of Bradford have come to expect it and won't pay full wack, which wasn't the intention I'm sure. The Bulls were expecting to build a base of support by tempting folk with subsidised tickets, now when they need them these people are the first to leg it - probably to city who are currently giving it away.

Me I'd rather build slowly and trust the product to sell itself. 1000 people paying £20 gets the same as 2000 paying a tenner. The biggest myth of all is that these extra people spend at the ground, but I suspect they don't. I reckon someone who is only willing to attend on a freebie or cheapy won't cough up £2 for a tray of soggy chips.

I'm a cynic I know, but I think I'm probably right on this one :wink:
