Get Jamie Cording to drink some as well.

I have just read a letter from a supporter in the Pontefract & Castleford Express this morning who supported cas since the 2nd World War. He is 78 years old and has just purchased a bronze membership even though he can only watch Cas on the television, some may think this is nothing special but the man lives in Sussex so he cannot make use of the deals on offer. I wish many of our so called loyal supporters would take a leaf out of his book, then we may get to be able to sign some more players that we badly need to compete for a full season.

When I bought me silver membership there was an elderly gentleman in the shop. He was already a life member and bought a siver membership "just to help the club out".

Some people are fans - some people are supporters.

When i bought my membership, i got told i must be daft, or have too much money, by posters on other boards, just because i bought a membership knowing i had very little chance of seeing a live game, but for me we need every penny we can get, if we loose the Tigers out of Cas, whats left

I applaud all of those fans who back their club despite living miles away or not being able to attend.

A true demonstration of loyalty.

Just reached the 2000 milestone.

Great now we need a big push for the next 3000

I am slightly disappointed that not more of current ST holders have signed up, especially as these are more than likely the ones singing and chanting about how loyal they are to the club and more of a fan than those who do not have season tickets.

To me the membership scheme is a much better system and well thought out process.

I like the idea of the prizes to encourage people to sign up and also the membership pack is something in return for showing your support.

I realise a lot of people are annoyed that they can't stand in the WRE because they are not a member, but with bronze membership only being £50 it's not that expensive when you think that you get 2 games included at £20 each, it's only really a tenner to get all the other benefits that come with the membership. A lot of clubs are either doing this already or are going to be doing this in future and having exclusive stands for their members. I really don't think it is going to be anything out of the ordinary and for once we seem to have jumped on the bandwagon early rather than playing catch up later.

I would like to see us reach the 5000 mark but unfortunately I think last seasons performances afftected the club and peoples attitudes towards it. However, we desperately need to reacht he 5000 mark if we are to have any chance of competing or surviving.

I agree we need some positive news of either a signing/stadium update or something along those lines but until people put some money in we are unlikely to see anything put out.

I want this club to be succesful and really do hope that people who are sitting on the fence on whether to get a membership go out and get one, you get out what you put in. Even if you can't afford silver, please try and get a bronze membership. I applaud all the people buying memberships who may never even get to a game. Dean Widders and Adrian Vowles being prime examples of the loyalty shown by some folk!

Should be a stadium update soon quoting from Steve Frees recently:-

"We are dedicated to delivering a new or re-developed stadium that provides us with a versatile space that can generate additional revenue and enable the club to thrive. The support received so far and any future support we get for this scheme is not to be underestimated as we strive to realise our ambitions for a stadium the club and fans can be proud of. We hope to be able to give an update on the stadium's progress in the coming weeks."

Agree CM2

There is a thread on Casforum btw, if you have any questions for Steve Ferres.

73 memeberships sold today!!!!! They are increasing day by day, think we could make it 100 tomorrow?

They haven't updated the website for today's?

Ignore that - needed to refresh cache.

Some of the younger lads who have elegances to amateur team are holding back, as Cas are going to give extra incentive for junior amateur RL payers (on Fozzis tweets )

101 sold yesterday I think

Fully, it did not dawn on me to read the brochure and realise that two match tickets were included in the Bronze membership



I have just bought my membership online

We've sold almost 500 memberships in the last week. Surely now is the time for Steve Ferris to "ride this wave" and keep the prices at there current levels. Will we get to the 2,500 prize before the end of the month? I am going to get the wife to get a Bronze membership on Friday, saying I referred her so she get all the benefits and I get an additional £5 off my next purchase in the shop (new polo shirt).

I didn't realise that you got £5 off for referring somebody - My dad got his over the weekend after I convinced him to get one!

What does seem strange to me is that the early bird prices end on a Friday when quite clearly (as previous weeks have shown) and obviously the busiest day of the week for the shop and membership sign ups is Saturday. They could surely extend it to either the Saturday or end of day Sunday to give people time to get to the shop. If I had to get mine this week before the deadline I would struggle as I'm on a course all week in Leeds that starts at 8am and finishes at 5pm, I'd have no chance!

2251 as of monday 5pm

2328 now.

Another 77.

D'oh.

Now you know though and good to have you on board. Spread the word.

I see on t'Twitter that Wakker has bought his ...

And Kirk Dixon.

Does it not worry anyone else that probably around 500-700 of those 2300 who has a membership are Bronze? Which means they will rarely go or never go e.g. Dean Widders, its great that people like that have bought them, but I have a feeling our ground won't be very full next year?

At 1500 68% of them memberships were silver. That's 1020 silvers. That doesn't include Gold Seating memberships or any of the Platinum ones available (of which there were quite a few sold). Given the fact that leaves a difference of 480 for Platinum, Gold and Bronze

In that instance, as there has been another 800 sold on top do you really believe that there is approximately 40% bronze memberships sold in that amount. I don't.

I know a lot of people who have bought silver and golds over the last few weeks (purely from reading Twitter and Casforum).

There is about 40 platinum members and I estimate around 200 gold memebers? so that would leave 240 Bronze at 1500 members, therefore the Bronze number will be around the 400-450 mark?
