[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Not bad prices from Wakefield Trinity.  No add on freebies for the kids this time though.

Cheaper than Championship Widnes

[Hopie]

Adults can spend between £30 and £400 at the Rhinos, no word on if they will spend any of that money on buying a keyboard with a "C" on it.

Excellent value again from the Giants, just a shame our on field performances will dictate renewals and new buys rather than price.

You don't want a C on a keyboard. Safer that rivals appear as Oas Tigers, or the Wildoats.

I don’t get why the Giants discount so heavily as it’s clearly not working. I reckon that anyone in Hudds who’s interested in them (not many) would buy them at normal prices anyway.

At Trinity it works because it has a huge latent fan base who just need coaxing back. So making the pricing accessible actually achieve something. I’ve seen people there this year who have been absent for years.

i accept we don’t have to compete head on with a football team which helps. But the truth is that despite its history Huddersfield is now 90% a football town, god knows why but it is. Nobody could have done more than Davey to change that, but after 20 years it seems a lost cause to me.

I've heard that they've just agreed terms with Nathan Cleary for 2025. 

Red faces all round when a middle-aged Irish dude shows up for pre-season training.

you'd have thought they'd have checked the font first to see how unclear that 'c' was. it's there but it's a pretty poor oversight.

What would you call it then?

By RL standards it’s big. Wakefield is similar to Wigan in size, with a population of 110,000. However it’s wider metropolitan area is 375,000.

It has no football team to compete with, with only one of the towns and a village having a RL team.

It also has a strong history in the city, people fell out with those running the club not the club itself.

Finally latent or potential support is not the same as actual support, I and all Trinity fans realise that and there is work to be do. However it’s far easier to tempt back people and families who used to support the club than those who have never been interested. Likewise it’s easier to convert people to the sport when you are the only game in town.

No reason why a consistently successful Trinity team couldn’t match Wigan or Saints for crowds long term.

Note; Trinity sold over 8000 tickets for the Sundeck cup, which is basically a booby prize. That’s nearly as much as some clubs manage for the actual CCup. Imagine what they’d do if it was the real deal.  I’d call that latent or potential support, wouldn’t you?

Wakefield Wildoats sounds like the sort of leisure activity that'll leave you with gonorrhea after the weekend  

[Championi]

Huge latent fan base  we saw that before the young uncle ken took over huge

[LeytherRob]

It's funny, pre-2023 you could bank on several weeks of criticism and nit-picking over ST prices on Leigh forums around this time of year. I remember the first time they went above £200 around 2016 and people went mental, even though it was done to fund FT rugby and a load of premium players. As soon as they made it monthly and put it in a fancy box with a few bells and whistles and I haven't heard or seen 1 comment about the cost since, despite the prices more than doubling. Cheapest full season ticket is £27pm/£324pa, I'll be paying £40pm/£480pa for Gold plus which includes £10pm ringfenced to the academy.

Membership numbers went from ~2100 to ~5600 from 2023-2024 and I expect they'll jump again, or at the very least see an increase in the upper tiers. Now of course a winning team and CC win contributes to feeding that number, but even before all that when the membership boxes first launched in 2023 the buzz was unlike anything I've seen before from an off field perspective and the off field fervour drives the on field momentum(I don't think you get one without the other). It has been a genuine masterstroke by the club and it honestly confuses me that more clubs haven't adopted it.

The point is, the psychology of the consumer market has changed drastically with the advent social media and full throttle capitalism of the modern world. People don't want cheap, they want Iphones, they want premium meals and experiences and more RL clubs need to start catering for that mentality shift.

£99 basic for the season at the Crusaders and they were on sale at the last home game.

[sweaty craiq]

North Stand adult ticket at Leigh (standing) £350-480. Club just announced entire stand is sold out after 2 days. Clubs are undervaluing the sport by selling STs too cheap!!

Well over 100000 SM hits on the new shirt

At that rate they wont need to win a game to get an A grade with IMG.

[Trojan Horse]

Season tickets went on sale today only for current ST holders. Over 1000 renewed in day 1 with plenty of time to go for more. 

[Kirmonds pouch]

Thats some going for a club that used to struggle to sell 1200 in a season!

Actually goes to to about 5-600 a year when you consider platinum members can also opt to the north stand.

Probably be almost 1500 by midnight. 
 

It would be nice if we could reach 6000+ this year coming back into SL.

Yeah, but we need the money.

Although the North Stand early bird price is £225. 

We really need to find a sugar daddy!

…..and they’re are 9,000,000 in London.  Is that a “huge latent fan base”?

That’s simply a huge population. 

London have never had the crowds or interest for there to be much latent about it.

So have Bradford then?  Apart from 4/5 years of free tickets and sponge fingers?  How many times have they gone bankrupt now?
