rumour has it the next singles night at the willows has sold out, there was a mad rush for some reason

The club could set up a singles site, to organise dos for single fans to meet like minded fans and these may get together at a later date and become a family

That about sums it up FL.

Can I just add though something thats been mentioned on here on many occassion - That even if the club were to give season tickets away for free we'd still struggle to attract a decent attendance.

I hope what they've done works out how they want (I wasn't moaning about the cost really, seems very reasonable) but for mine, well I'm not sure it will!

I guess with the franchise scenario and this offer, the club will be able to show an increase in season ticket sales, great smoke screen!

i'm off to salford uni to get a degree in trying to understand this offer!!ive read it several times and still cant figure it out,more small print and bullet points then a loan off provident!only salford could come up with something this complicated!

What a load of whingers think you will all find that you will be better off with the deal that is on offer.
As quoted, it is aimed at getting more families into the fan base, but singles will no worse off. if you pay per game it is, 13 home games at £18 per game = £234 + shirt £40=£274 add "magic w/end" cost will be over ££300, so massive saving there.

how can this offer be alienating fans? your basically paying the normal price for a season ticket including the magic weekend! So probably works out cheaper than last year! So all the lonesome people whining about being ripped off, why dont you do yourselves and the club a favour and bring some of your family along for a discounted price!

2010 season ticket comparison
Based on cheapest adult ticket with early bird discounts (full price in brackets where applicable):

A few comments now I've caught up with the thread:

On the face of it, £180 for 13 games + cup + Murrayfield + shirt is decent. But it's a 12.5% rise on last year (inflation's running at about 1.8% at the moment), the price rise for season tickets is higher than for pay on the day (£20 v £13) and I'm fairly shocked to find us the 4th most expensive in the league (yes, you get a shirt, but not everyone wants one).

The idea of a membership scheme to get general discounted admission is a decent one, and it will be interesting to see how much uptake there is of it (not that out ST numbers ever get published), but I'm concerned at the effect that the £18 match day admission will have. My girlfriend hardly went to a game last season because she thought £17 was steep, the same with workmates who'd been the season before. With a matchday price of £18 the club will surely have to run a load of offers to attract casual or first time punters along, and these offers will no doubt end up putting noses out of season ticket holders again and if it's like last season, the offers will be sent to season ticket holders anyway.

Oh, and 30% of UK households are single person households, and they are the fastest growing type of household.

Indeed. And which club has by far the largest student population in Europe on its doorstep?

That's because single people can afford their own houses nowadays whereas in the past they would've spent it all on watching RL?!



That (and Gaz's comparisons) are only true for the price of a season ticket for single people. Couples will only pay £155 pounds for a season ticket which makes ours the 4th cheapest in SL.

Has no-one else thought that, with this offer, the club are not only trying to attract families but also discourage single blokes???



I suspect the club want more people to own shirts, even if they're given away for free (in effect) because there's then more people wearing the club's colours around town and being seen - we're like walking adverts!

I know that giving you a free shirt doesn't necessarily mean you'll wearing it but I have noticed a significant increase in Salford shirts around the area since we started giving them out for free.
