| Still no word.
Tickets are usually announced in August, gives people time to budget in time for the cheap ticket deadline in November or take advantage of the monthly payment plan early.
Ok we didn't know where we would be playing in 2017 until two weeks ago-Leeds didn't in July but had the confidence to announce their tickets then! The club should have had a plan A and plan B ready to go. Those tickets should have been announced as soon as our future was known.
Hull KRs tickets have gone on sale- price £225, just £10 less than ours this year. They offered a voluntary 25% discount on season ticket sales - 700 people bought on the first day of sale- that's probably about a quarter of what we will sell if we are lucky. 95% of those that have bought KRs tickets paid full price and didn't take advantage of the discount!!! Couldn't see that happening with hudds supporters!
Poor management from our club.

| Agree, i've had people ask me when they are on sale and how much, maybe they are working on a deal to bring more people through? who knows?
I suppose we could Email and ask them likely dates? but yes it's a poor do, not having any details as yet.

KR have had a lot more to deal with and less time but have still managed to get their house in order. should have had them ready to go when the feel good factor was high after the win- common sense!!!
Shocking from us IMO- yet they moan people aren't interested- well no because the point of interest has been and gone Giants!!!!

| bit slow off the mark i agree but maybe as it stands no signings to try and get a few more fans on board, if they announce a few good signings few days before then that might spark abit more interest too
salford were quick of the mark, maybe we should have done same straight after while there was at least some good feel factor about the club but we know our marketing team aint the best!
im buying anyway so doesnt make much difference to me

I agree Brearley, I wouldn't launch my tickets on the back of the worst season for a lot of years, I would try to make things a bit more appealing, It could be a sign that there are some decent player on the way, I wont be buying one until i see what sort of squad we have, If i don't get a season ticket i will pick my games.

| I will get a season ticket irrelevant of who we sign because I am a Giants fan and always will be.
You're not getting a season ticket until you see who we sign, I despair.
And MH get your hand in your pocket this year and get a season ticket bought, you can't take it with you.

| It's all our fault they haven't announced them yet. We don't have enough fans to pay for the backroom staff to make a decision on season tickets. Betty the tea lady will be sorting it but she's still busy cleaning all the kits first.
Rick Stone was in the examiner this week saying he hopes we take a leaf out of Towns book. Understands the difference the atmosphere can make to a teams success, and the fact that it's in the giants hands to make something happen with crowds. Hope there is some action.

just a little curious Daz after your earlier post who the "they" are?
The club who you appear to be criticising for its poor marketing strtategy ............
or the fans/posters who are cautiously watching and waiting for the "encouraging news" and feel good factor ?
Either way you cant squeeze water - even out of a wet brick!
And the crowds wont increase as much as KD and us on here would like until we see some consistent improvement .....and silverware again .........but thats a well worn topic.....
Personally I was watching and waiting for us to do judst that after the LLS - but it wasnt to be!

Watching and waiting is the problem. We won silverware in the LLS- but we didn't increase our season ticket sales following that.

Which is completely irrelevant.
We still obviously have money to spend on players. If players want to play elsewhere for more money then that is their perogative. However it cannot be argued that the club cannot afford better players as long as extensions are offered to players we have.

It's not at all irrelevant- as you have no idea whether these extensions are more or less than what they are currently earning!

You are absolutely correct and I apologise, if your reason for not renewing automatically is financially related due to other commitments I apologise unreservedly and my comments are not aimed at you.

What you say is true. We could have got rid of Larne Patrick and kept Hughes but we demanded a transfer fee of Wigan who would have kept him for nothing if we let him go instead we brought him back to the Giants and let Jack Hughes go to Wire.
We all know how that ended with Patrick but his body on the line, being happy and playing for us all through the 2016 season and helping us have a great season whilst Jack Hughes has achieved nothing this year (apart from a grand final and a Cc cup final with those no hopers at Wire ).GREAT BIT OF BUSINESS BY SOMEONE AT THE CLUB WAS THAT ONE.
But I guess jools and Meast will say that was nothing to do with the club, how do we know what went on behind closed doors and if our fans and Huddersfield were better the club could do anything it wanted.
IMHO we could have crowds of 10 k but we do bait have the right people at the top running things. Anderson was not the right coach and that was clear a long time ago.

Here we go again with the "let him go" line. Hughes said when he went he did so because Warrington was closer to home- he was obviously sick of commuting the M62 from Lancashire. The choice is not just down to the club- the players need to want to sign. For some it's just down to money, others have other considerations- as alluded to by jumbuck- just like supporters players have other commitments to their families!!! Some think their careers will be better served elsewhere....

| He also said at different time he wanted to stay. What was reported by the club in te examiner at the time counts for nothing. The clib also said at the time they wanted to keep him but salary cap considerations with Patrick coming back made it imposssible. You just to choose to believe what you want sand defend the club no matter what. No matter what the evidence is.
I would guess that if he had the right offer or or was happy here a 1 hour commmute 3 or 4 x a week is no great hardship !
Bodgy did not seem too upset with a A Huddersfield to wire commute.
I note that you do not comment on the Patrick being brought back against his will by the club who wanted a transfer fee was a good idea.
I said very clearly at the time that there was no point in bringing back an unhappy player. Unfortunately no one at the club listened to me !!!!!!

Yet again Jools sprouting Rubbish. She does not know what Contracts were or were no offered. As always she defends the Clubs position and total lies. I will not be renewing till I see change at the Top. Good luck to Rick Stone hope he selects His own Players and not the Thewlis /Shuttleworth choices. The Bulls three being an example.!!!!!!

Do you think it was a good idea bringing back Patrick to the Giants when he said he did not want to be here when Wagamama said they were quite happy to take him on.
Yes or no.
If it was not a good idea do you think the club made a mistake in doing it.
Yes or no
If we did not brining Patrick back would we have had additional cap space
Yes or no
Just stop ignoring the facts and arguing in support of the management of the club for no reason.
