| You've never had a croggy or a patty or been down a tenfoot either.
But the cream phone boxes are because we have the last remaining independent phone company in the country.

And in Huddersfield, everything is half price.
Football and Rugby season tickets are the cheapest on the planet although, tbf, the stadium is full on a Saturday afternoon

Stadium has never been full for football
And someone should tell the local council and population that everything is half price, might attract more people to the town then

Getting near 20,000 for the round ball game (compared to an average of 12,000 last season) is a big old increase and £120 for a season ticket for the Giants is very cheap, about half of S/T prices elsewhere.
After a poor season last time and a massive squad clear out, it will be an interesting season for you guys.

He's a Huddersfield fan - they don't have any
out of interest our renewal deadline is usually in November but it's Xmas eve this year, we had sold a record amount of season tickets for that date and a quarter of them we're either new or returning ticket holders. not major news but promising after we came bottom.

I got an email from them that said something about season ticket in the subject line but I just deleted it. Could have been same thing.

I got it as well.
In fairness, it seems to suggest that I'm getting the email because I went to the England v NZ game. In which case, it's -poor marketing automation / segmentation given that I've filled in more than enough RFL surveys where I tell them I'm a Leeds fan.

Makes a change for another club to try and poach fans from outside "their area".
I thought this practice was only carried out by Leeds and Bradford, both of whom regularly put up billboard advertising in other clubs' back yards.
I wonder if the RFL have done the same in Cumbria ?

There's a big difference between trying to expand your market, and (presumably paying for) email marketing campaigns to people who you know arr followers of another club (because they told you they are). It's poor use of marketing Intel.
Leeds or Bradford putting billboards in Wakefield is very different - most of the people who see that billboard probably aren't currently RL customers. And there is, of course, nothing to stop Wakefield putting their own billboards up wherever they want.

There are more Rhino's fans in Wakey than Wakey fans - that also helps matters.

That may prove my point
It's a grubby tactic, trying to obtain fans from your "competitors" back yard.
The first advert that I noticed was a Rhino advert on the outskirts of Bradford, which I thought was a cheap shot.
You would have thought that having 500,000 people in Leeds would be enough, obviously not

Agreed WC. One possible explanation is that areas like ours with WF postcodes are seen as outskirt areas of Leeds. As the city grows bigger and bigger every year we are seeing lots of people new to the area who become possible new supporters - we have just got to get to them first. New stadiums for both WTW and Cas Tigers would also be an added incentive.

| Hull KR have gone past the 4500 sales mark. We sold 5200 ahead of the 2016 Super League campaign so may end up not far off that figure for our assault on the Championship.

That is an excellent return and should see you in good stead to have a real tilt at getting back to SL for 2018. Hope you do it.
