Looks like right now that the south stand will be closed for Haven game. Which probably makes sense if they are expecting reduced gate

What does not make sense is this however

Two seats next to each other in section 102
  • Home Adult Seat £22
  • Away Adult Seat £20

So for 2 seats, same row, same stand you get £2 off if you say your an Haven supporter. Madness, how do they expect to attract returning fans week on week, if they are charging them more than away fans for the same row in the same section

Everyone just book away fan ticket then. Clearly not only is Lobster not a great CEO, doesn't seem like much of an accountant either. Time to fess up Lobster, why is the club so badly run? No doubt the silence will be deafening.

When football matches don't open the South Stand, then the gates outside the Pub are locked preventing access to the Fans Zone. Will not be good if they do that for the Broncos as that's an area they should be building on. I'm concerned the Broncos didn't advertise the presence of MyPie and Vegan Express whilst in the ground on Sunday and that affected their custom and they won't be back.

Reduced child prices have been addressed for the next match which I think is a good move.

The loss of the fan zone would be a real worry as that sort of facility is one of the real arguments for moving to a more expensive rental agreement.

Good to see kids prices being addressed. Quite surreal though that we've played one game and had two changes to child admission pricing strategy.

The Away Ticket prices only get you the corner sections. Don't think the Broncos are portraying that well on their website. Pricing less premium seats lower is not necessarily the issue, but making it stand out as AWAY fans is not good.

AFC Wimbledon price those seats two pounds less as well. The equal cheapest tickets are for the away fans (North Stand) which I think is overly generous as they get prime estate where many other teams stick away supporters in poor viewing areas.

Rugby League is much more inclusive with no need to segregate. For that reason the tickets should be priced the same £22. I've sat in that corner once out of choice and it's not bad, especially in section 101 where you have a direct view down the touchline.

There was a brief period before the Widnes game where the ticket set-up was as we saw now (maybe not as specific) so perhaps it is a user gremlin and the South Stand will open.

It would be a big mistake. The gate doesn't have to be closed just because the stand isn't being used, but I've heard enough from you long timers to suggest logical and sensible decisions aren't a bed partner of the Broncos management.

I'm not worried if the price is £22 or £20, the point is the price should be based on where you sit, not based on which team you choose to identify with :)

Looks like the club have made a great move in reducing kids tickets

Looks like I will once again be able to take my kids to games this year!

Good move

Its a good start, but unless they have things to do when they are there, they might soon get bored. What we need as well is activities for the Kids, let us hope that for the Haven game, they have more on offer than just the game (ie mascots etc)

Although a competitive game would be a definite start!
