Was I too subtle?

1510 in less than 4 weeks.

Is that broken down into Gold Silver and bronze numbers to get a feel from the fans. Without wanting to debate it Wakefield have counted Gold at about 4300, If Cas can sell more than last season like us then Bronze and silver are likely to attend further games, obviously further revenue then from people on the terraces and merchandise etc.

Have to say, if its £20 a game that isn't a very enticing deal.

It is if you look at it this way: one family trip to Nandos/Chiquitos/Frankie & Bennys and the 25% discount covers that other £10 in the bronze deal.



"One of the most pleasing aspects of the response so far is that while 68% of the 1,500 are Silver Memberships, 711 of the 1,500 are those who have signed up for membership, having not had a season ticket last year." - from the club website.

So 1020 of the 1500 paid over £200 for a membership.

It isn't if you take one look at the father in law, he'd think Frankie and Benny were a duo from the swinging sixtys!!!!


I take your point, but for me paying for something that he won't use, against him getting something for nothing he won't use; go figure!!!

Not quite true there Gronk! as SF doesn't specify if the 68% of Silver memberships are Junior or Adult?

Not having a go here just asking a question based on that article

1500 signed up
711 are new members therefore 789 are last years members

66% of last years season ticket holders still to renew implies 34% have renewed

if 789 people made up 34% of last years season ticket holders does that mean you had 2320 Season Ticket holders last year? That number seems quite low. I would have thought Cas had more ST holders than that.


Maybe that explains why you didn't have huge amounts of cash to spend on your squad.

It's a higher number than the one that was often mentioned of 1600 ST holders last year.

I thought we sold about 2,700 ST's last year so about right.

I just assumed your ST sales would be around the 50% of average attendance mark, so around 3,500 - 4,000

A big ask to try and sell 5,000 then with no discounting based on that figure from last year. Good luck with that!

We can't afford to do discounting - we're skint.

can Wakefield they will need to sell twice the amount of season tickets than Cas, at the end of the day its not sustainable to sell tickets at half price

....... as Bradford Bulls found to their dismay.

.
It would be nice to only have to pay £100 for the season but how meany seasons would it take until the club goes under common sense tels you it wont take long, if we need 8,000 fans to break even, we would need capacity crowds every week

But they've got no debt after leaving 83 creditors high and dry...we are running within our means.

Apart from that CCJ.*

[size=50*awaits for the trolls to amass[/size

They will soon be back in debt at the rate there going, its all jolly down there way at the moment they keep telling us about the 4000 members, they say we will sell more beer, burgers & merchandise,
so they must sell plenty of burgers in Waky, because they need to make up a lot of lost revenue, as i do not think all the new ticket holders will make up the short fall in gate recites, or is Mr Glover going to make it up

I thought this was the Cas board and i thought the topic would be about Cas and Cas memberships.

4500now actually thats even more burgers etc and the tickets are no longer £125 they are £150 for this month and still selling at a fair rate of knots.

Now call me an old cynic (I'm sure dee hell,el rey, brenda and other Wakey fans will be along shortly to call me a lot worse) but is it just me?, or does something not ring true about Wakey membership and take up. Launched mid August, by Oct 9th (same day as Cas launch) sold less than 2,000. Hey ho sudden take up to reach 4,000 just in time for the 1st November deadline. Now only 1 week later 400+ more fans have shelled out for tickets at £25.00 more! Sorry might be just me, but if anyone can explain, please do.

Cynic?

More like paranoid!

As regards our membership 1500 + at full price is not bad going in 4 weeks.

I hope you sell a lot more, and have a good season, but no club can afford to to sell season tickets for a vastly reduced price, it will defiantly sell more tickets in the short term, but further down the road the cash will soon run dry, when that happens where do you go, will your new boss be prepared to make up the short fall, in years to come if he keeps the price as low as he has it now you will need to double your sales, no rugby team can run without making money all you need now is to sell another 4000 and that will be equivalent in ticket receipts as selling 4000 at a realistic price
