I’d be amazed if there wasn’t the option for spreading the cost. I seem to remember Matt saying we are no longer desperate for the money upfront in the off season so paying monthly is now possible.

Re: 2025 Season tickets : Thu Oct 24, 2024 8:47 am  

It's going to be interesting to see how the season tickets sell. A few people across SM already getting their excuses in regarding why they may not purchase.
Increase in costs to a more realistic price
No junior freebies
Loss of regular Sunday games.
The club don't really need the cash upfront nowadays.

I'll be getting mine as per usually for convenience throughout the season including certainty of entry when there's a chance of a full house v some clubs.
I didn't buy any gear or replica shirt, other than the Matty Ashurst one, this year for the 1st time in decades.
The lack of the club "needing" our cash is, strangely, a bit of a loss and caused a slight bit of separation between club and fans imho.

In my opinion, season tickets will sell well. Matt has created a good thing and the marketing isn't required at the moment, people are riding the wave. Due to the lack of capacity people will feel the need to get one, creating a 'demand'. The northstand and east will sell well.

Not sure I understand this, what club doesn't need fans money?

For one thing it makes a statement about club support.

I have to say this one thing & it probably won't be popular but I've been sat in the East stand for quite a few years now & really enjoyed it apart from the wooden pillows you had to look around but that wasn't too hard. Now this season I bought some great seats near the centre line & haven't seen a try this year when we get a break through or near the line everybody is standing up even tho everybody has great view without moving a muscle well not everybody it does seem to be the ex north standers Why is this they have a brilliant view without moving a muscle I know I'm moaning but I've paid as well & not as mobile as I use to be people just don't seem to care.

It is the natural reaction when something exciting happens to stand up, it is the same at football and rugby union as well as most other sports.

I did find it a very strangely negative post. We have afterall come off the back of best retail sales this year and highest ST sales in some time coupled with 3 trophies.

I also have seats in the same area and can’t say I’ve experienced the same. We have seen every break and every try this year with no people standing through the game. Not noticed it around us either bar a very few ocassions.

Perhaps the poster has just got unlucky there’s a few excites or fans in front of them.

We stand in the North stand but I find it odd when people don't stand up if there's an attacking play, maybe just me
