No problem in clubs trying different ideas,it's been happening in football for years,if it don't work try another idea.I'm happy that the rams are in the "B"cat,one thing that should be put right,the doggies should be in "c" cat

Nice of you to think of us "doggies" in these hard financial times and want our fans to save money with cheaper ticket prices andy

Charge what you like for me old lad, i wont be visiting any feeder club in 2013

Good. If you keep your promise I'll give both York and Hunslet the money you would have spent getting in. One thing I would add though, I go to Fev every time we play there and spend quite a few quid, was even considering getting a corporate box next year as we did last year and it was great. Probably wont be bothering now due to the attitude us "lesser" clubs get off some of your frankly arrogant fans. I'm sure Mark Campbell and Paul Taylor will be delighted to know your putting sponsors off?

Well said, Some supporters need to realise that they are stuck in a league with us lesser clubs for the foreseeable future and without us they wouldn't have a league to play in or a team to support.

I see Sheffield Eagles have adopted my idea of a book of tickets (10 for £100). It will be interesting to see if it helps attendance wise, as i hoped it would for Hunslet if they had used the idea. Good luck to them.

Your idea ?

I've been promoting this instead of season tickets for about twenty years ......

I'm just wondering where these three extra matches are coming from ....

11 last year, 13 in 2013 ..... hmmm.

Featherstone fans will be charged £16, the same price as last season NO INCREASE! Hunslet fans will also be charged £16. NO INCREASE! Hunslet fans going to Featherstone next season will be charged £17, £2 INCREASE on last season, INCREASE! So who's getting the best deal and who's been disrespectful? I'd say NIETHER clubs, just both clubs doing what's best for themselves in hard times, will I be boycotting Featherstone because of a £2 increase?, NO il happily pay any amount to support my team, and if that means is helping out a fellow championship club at the same time then even better!

spot on gareth

Last year was 9 league + 2NRC = 11. This year is 13 league, so 2 extra not 3. Anyway, that's just being picky.

As I recently posted on the Fev forum, the pricing structure isn't exactly rocket science. If you want to go to the game, you pay the price asked. If you don't want to pay, you don't watch the match.

Your blurb says three extra games. There are only two. Someone's cocked up here.

Just saying.

[brummie-eagle]

£12 to watch the Champions, very reasonable, look forward to a trip over next season!

Look forward to seeing many Eagle fans at the SLS next season will be a pleasure to entertain the champions!

I've never heard you promoting it, by the sound of it you haven't done a very good job have you (20 yrs) and no-one takes notice. I post the idea and gets used straight away.

Well done. Don't worry, it wasn't copyrighted.

[hunsletnewboy]

Well done. Don't worry, it wasn't copyrighted.

Its just nice to know that a club has taken on board something that we've both suggested, which i feel would benefit a lot of supporters, no matter which league they're in. I would look into any ideas where it makes it cheaper for fans and increases the chance of clubs drawing in more spectators.

Just to let you lads know as a fev fan I will be at hunslet next season whether we are in cat a or not I am there to shout my players on and support my team like I did all last season ( at the same price ) I think you should be thanked for not putting you prices up and actually decreasing them for some matches Hope this works out for you and you don't make less from gate money than you did in 2012 time will tell If people don't want to go its up to them but Hunslet need to do what they think is best for Hunslet and good luck to you
Although I am against the link up with S/L clubs I don't see a problem with this although I think it is a gamble but I do hope it works out

See you next season
