Yep, some great ideas on here.

Lets see a packed BV for our first home game.

Got my season ticket last October but I would still like to see them sold a lot cheaper and match day tickets cheaper. I know I'm losing out individually but It'd be great to see BV full for it's last hurrah and a show of intent to the RFL.

The club could apease the fans that have already bought season tickets by offering a 'loyalty voucher' for spending in the shop or some kind of offer like that.

I know an amateur club where the chairman lies through his back teeth and has a nack of peeing people off, consequently volunteers have dropped off and people fall away etc, etc, it's the same principle that happened at WTW.

Your roots are your history. and your ex players bring back the memories. I once heard that Leeds offer free season tickets to ex players. this swells the crown and creates revenue in the bars.

To add to Feline's idea, every home game, introduce a couple of ex players to the crowd, from all eras, and make them club guests for the day. e.g. Where are Juliff, Diamond and Barwood these days? The Rayne twins, Idle and Skerret, etc.

The club should send a promotional team round all the pubs on a Friday and Saturday night before a home game.

If the game was at full-price admission (of €20) a discount voucher for a drink or food at the match could be offered.

I think we all have to realise that Mr Glover is running the club as a business and not a charity. I purchased a season ticket last year and thanks to the new man I am able to use it this year so my 180 quid wasn't wasted, not like my 150 shares I bought last year they are down the swanee with nothing to show for it at all.
I would be surprised if any season ticket holder as a moan because at the moment there are cheap tickets available,Lets all accept it and enjoy our rugby league after all he could have not honored our tickets then we would have been doom & gloomers

Bought my seating season ticket last year. Haven't got a problem with reduced gate prices. At least we have a club to support. Two weeks ago it looked like we would have nothing.

didn't get the season ticket this year because i will unfortunately have to miss too many home games to make it viable and didn't trust the old administration...have volunteered to put my £100 in to player sponsorship instead.

I was told when my young 'un was 2 that I didnt have to pay for him til he was 6! so I havent and I've never had it questioned why we were lifting him over. I will be paying this season when he goes and dont mind at all
