Monkeymagic22 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 If he does sign, and it's highly doubtful, clearly he's not going to be on anything like the NRL contract. I'm guessing, he'd use it as an opportunity to go in the shop window and move on from that. Personally I can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingaro Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Can't say I'm getting carried away with this one, if he runs out with a Rovers shirt on I'll be amazed. However the last 2 ex NRL players had a great experience at the club so maybe word gets around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that i just can't understand why our name is linked to a player we can't afford.And i am not happy at the increase in season tickets when families are struggling with higher rents,council tax bills,and 40% extra energy prices.If we sell as many season tickets as last season which i doubt the price increase will bring in enough money for one average players wage.

The Grinder Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I may have this wrong since I can’t be 100% sure on the costs for season tickets last year, but if my memory serves me well season tickets were £200 for 11 home games, about £18.18 per game and £240 for 13 home games this year which equates to £18.46 per game. An increase of 28p per game. As I say I might have the figures for last year wrong, but assuming I’m close that doesn’t sound like much of an increase. The thing that is different this year is the fact that there is no early bird prices. I guess the club doesn’t feel like they need the cash at the minute like they have in previous year, which has to be a good thing. 2 I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

Last season supporters did not mind paying the same as the year before for 2 fewer home matches as they were glad just to be back at games.And realised all clubs faced financial pressures.I am not bothered for myself as i lost enough for 2 season tickets backing Fax with their handicap start.We sold over 1000 last season and i don't think we will sell as many this season.Financial pressures are hitting families and some may just pick which games to attend.Difference between keeping prices at 2019 level and new rates is about 31k per year if the club sells 1000 and if they only sell 800 they will be 11k out of pocket against 1000 at the old price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you got me intrigued enough to go and find out the facts so I have just gone out and googled the 2020 season ticket costs and it was £225 for 13 games details can be found here: https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/2020-togetherasone-memberships-pass-2019-total-OyOlI/ and for the 2021 season they where £200 for 11 games (details can be found here: https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/2021-memberships-now-available-for-collection-I8NIH/). So in fact the costs didn't stay the same between 2019/2020 and 2021, in fact the cost per game went up 88p per game on a season ticket compared to 2020 and up £2.80 compared to 2019. So in 2020 that was £17.30 per game and for 2021 is was £18.18, though a number of games for 2021 had to be streamed at the beginning of the year. For this coming season it is £240 for 13 games so £18.46 per game Obviously this ignores any early bird offer that is not available this year and as far as I can see was also not available for the 2021 season. The adult memberships for 2019 were £200 for 13 games so were £15.38 per game (details can be found here: https://twitter.com/FevRoversRLFC/status/1037390169400389632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1037390169400389632%7Ctwgr%5Ehb_2_7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.totalrl.com%2Fforums%2Findex.php%3Fapp%3Dcoremodule%3Dsystemcontroller%3Dembedurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FFevRovers%2Fstatus%2F1037390169400389632 The 2019 membership cost was the same cost as 2018 (£200) when there was only 11 games (the league was increased in 2019 to 14 teams from 12 in 2018), so £18.18 per game in 2018. sorry for all the drivel, but hope it makes sense. In summary then, the cost per game for the season tickets over the last 4 seasons and the coming season were/are: 2018: £18.18 (11 games) 2019: £15.38 (13 games) 2020: £17.30 (13 games) 2021: £18:18 (11 games) 2022: £18:46 (13 games) So the costs per game for season tickets has increased by 28p from 2018 to 2022, noting that in 2019 the cost per game went down significantly and have increased since. If 200 people (20%) don't buy season tickets this year having bought them last year then I guess that the club will have to reconsider the costs for 2023. Though personally I suspect a 28p increase per game would not be the main factor for people not buying a season ticket (it is more likely to be other pressures on personal home incomes and outgoings will be bigger factors). Also re potential £11k loss, in fact if the potential missing 200 pay £22 (or £20 early bird) prices per home game and they only go to only half the games the club will take over £24k (200 people x 6 games x £20) therefore not losing £11k income at all, so overall the club will be better off with the new prices I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

bigbaldnmad Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Not sure that discussing season ticket prices in a squad thread is appropriate, if you want to discuss can we add to another thread, so those of us that find it irrelevant can ignore.

haskey Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Yes Rugby League is the biggest sport in Australia. I have been to the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane to watch them play the Sydney Roosters where there upwards of 40000 speccies in the stadium. The match was superb the facilities world class and the way into and out of the ground went without a hitch. Try and get out of Headingley with a crowd of say 10000 and you could be an age, not so Brisbane. You can see why the cap is so large, and why usually the Aussies players coming here are at the end of their careers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
