Come on ginge, it does say that you get the membership benefits if you buy a season ticket. Took me a couple of reads to grasp how it works though.



The membership scheme is a good idea. I reckon it would've been better if they did it as individual memberships rather than family membership though for people who don't buy season tickets.

So you have to pay £50 to become a member and this benefit enables you to be able to to get the "cheap" season ticket, which actually means the season ticket is £130 + yr £50 membership therefore its actually £180???

Or does it mean that if you buy a season ticket for £130 then you are automatically a member????

The way I'm reading it you get the membership benefits if you get the season ticket because you [uhave[/u to buy a membership before you buy a season ticket. You can't have the ST without a membership.

I am guessing this is correct?



Although reading it again maybe GT was right all along? I take it all back.

Its as clear as mud then!!

I work in the Structured Products department of an investment bank. Our structures are easier to understand than that offer.

The staff in the shop are gonna love explaining this one to everyone who phones or visits with a question about it. I wonder if they're running a sweepstake on how long it takes member if staff to snap

Did Hull KR not do a membership scheme for next season as well?

Also, Smartcards to get into the Willows? Doesn't seem right does it?



Or maybe the new stadium [iwill[/i be built by next season

Simple. You take your smart card to a gate, show it a bloke through a small hole. He then presses his foot on a lever and you go through a rotating gate. Magic.

The way I read it is - you pay 50 quid, become a member then pay 130 quid for your season ticket and get an away shirt worth 40 quid - total 180 quid!

or

You pay 50 quid, become a member and get an away shirt worth 40 quid then pick and choose your games for 12 quid per game.

or

You pay nowt, pick and choose your games for 18 quid a game with no free shirt.

Take your pick, I've already worked mine out and it wont involve paying 50 quid!

The way I see it is that it's £130 for the season ticket.

Also it's £65 if you are a OAP's

Plus you get a free away shirt [While stocks last

+ Free entry to 4th round Challenge Cup [home or away

+ Subsidised Admission to the Magic Wekend in Edinburgh
And that mans you could see a full round of Ebnngage Super League games for 'FREE'




And that's all that matters unless you are getting a family ticket under this new scheme.

I think I'm right, and by the looks of it this is the best offer on season tickets that I've ever seen down at The Wllows...

I think you're wrong James...from reading that blurb it says you pay your £50 to become a member and then this entitles you to apply for cheap season tickets (meaning it costs £180 for one person, £155 for two people etc) as per the following from the website...great for families to be fair but not for the likes of me, Iain, GT and plenty of other die-hards.

How The Scheme Works

1) One family member simply purchases a Family Membership for £50 – this gives their immediate family* a membership card each
2) All members can then buy a season ticket at a hugely discounted rate– adults pay the equivalent of as little as £10 a game, concessions £5 per game and juniors just £2 per game (click link below for full pricing details)
3) Every Season Ticket Holder will receive a free 2010 Away Replica Jersey (while stocks last)
4) Members use their smartcard to access the stadium
*T&Cs apply. Family Membership for £50 covers immediate family – up to two adults (parents /guardians) and any number of children living in the same household. Address will be verified.

So last year we spent £140 each on season tickets,

this year we spend £130 +£130 +£50

so ours will be £310 for the coming seaosn

rather than £280 paid last year?

I'm sorry but this is just exploting the loyal fans who want to support the club by paying in advance. Every year we miss some games due to hols. Can anyone explain why this is a great deal for those who either don't have kids or they have grown up?

I'm a student who plans to buy my season ticket before the end of the first deadline how much is it gonna cost me?

And JR you are the Comical Ali of this forum. The tanks are rolling into Baghdad but nothing is ever going wrong

Clearly the offer is to improve attendances by trying to attract more families to attend more games by making it more affordable. This deal makes it cheaper for families to attend more games rather than picking and choosing their matches or having to leave little Johnny with Grandma!

As for picking and choosing the matches you attend, surely if you do this it's pointless for you to have a season ticket if you are only a casual Salford supporter?

Thanks for your kind words "Walshovski"

Can you please me how much it will cost me to buy a full priced season ticket for Salford City Reds in 2010 ?

Thanks JR

that new away shirt looks good!

I've no idea, do you not think that is part of the problem? I think it depends on your credit rating, employment status and any previous convictions you may have.

I've heard its based on very similar criteria to getting a Visa to get to Nited's game in Moscow in a few weeks time.

ALSO "Walshovski"


Can you tell me how much it will cost for an OAP's ground season ticket for 2010 ?

The reason I ask this is because every year I buy my Uncle a Season Ticket for Christmas and I can't sem to work out how much the cost will be this time around.

Cheers JR...

Why you are grilling me on this, I have no idea hence I posted the question about how much I would have to pay and then made a comment about your overly optimistic posting style and now you are reeling off your yearly Salford expenditure to me.

I have just emailed the club and told them I don't understand the new season ticket offers

Hopefully tomorrow I will get an answer...

Depends what answer you get...didn't you ring them this morning to be told they were on holiday, then got told the details were out this arvo???

Maybe this has all been cobbled together since this morning when you first rang...certainly seems half-baked but it's Salford, what more did we expect???

For the 'casual' supporter yes. I wouldn't class myself as one having probably only missed a handful of home games in nearly 30 years, however supporters have never been asked to pay £50 before to become a member and IMO most won't want to with that price structure. As somebody already posted, the season ticket last year was £130, now they want £180 with exactly the same offer, free shirt, challenge cup game and magic weekend, (most cant afford that shananigan anyway)? Do you think thats reasonable?
