New Widnes Stronghold membership scheme + game : Sun Apr 03, 2011 3:59 pm  
What are your thoughts?

Played well today and scored some fantastic tries. Could have been a number of MOM. thought Gaskell was back to his best i thought.

As for the announcement, its certainly something different and new and i am personally looking forward to it. Will make us a sustainable club if SOC was to ever leave.

An extract from the flier.

"Today we are launching the "Viking stronghold" a genuine club membership aimed at delivering the Viking's stratergy and protecting and nurturing a lifelong bond with our supporters, old and new. The membership aims to make the sport affordable by spreading the cost and benefits throughout the whole year and delivering fabulous value for money. Membership will entitle fans to attend all home games in Super League and inital rounds of the Challenge cup.

Membership benefits will also include a free exclusive Viking stronghold retro shirt, electronic matchday programme, team sheets by text, Board member recognition as well as many, many other exclusive offers and opportunities. It also has no minimum period, you really can leave if you consider that the club is not delivering value, although we would welcome your patience!

In order to commit to 2012 expenditure it is vital for the club to understand our potential revenue. We really need a minimum of 7,000 members to join us in order to commit to a recruitment stratergy utilising the full salary cap. Normal membership will be £17.99 per month, early bird offer for those joining before 31st May will be £15.99 per month until November 2011. Current season ticket holders will enjoy exclusive discounts if they pledge to join paying only £13.99 per month by May 31st 2011. these offers are guaranteed for three years and will not be subject to any joining fees.

Love a brew.

Game itself was very professional and that's what we needed after recent results.

As for the stronghold I think it's a great idea, getting 7,000 to sign up to it will be tough but I'll be urging as many people as I can to get on board. It only works out at 14 quid for me as I'm a season ticket holder. Spending the full salary cap is huge so we need people to sign on board.

exclusive jersey, team sheet by text, discounts on merch, programs by e mail. whats not to like? its a great idea :D and works out a lot cheaper than paying for 13 tickets at superleague prices, even before you factor in the cost of the goodies you get.

Correct. We had 4000 fans there today and hopefully there are 3000 people in widnes and surrounding areas who are excited by the prospect of SL and will jump on board. I'm liking the discounts and the free retro shirt also. Im in.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

Cracking idea!

It will be difficult to get so many fans in for our first season, but I would assume there‘d be some form of major marketing initiative to follow.

It is also a direct answer to those whom ask the question “what would you do if Steve O’Connor walked out?”

Well it is now clear that he intends on staying for good, but is also trying to ensure that the club will thrive regardless.

I’m in! :D

A very interesting idea and a very good initiative by the club. I'm a little wary of ridding season tickets outright, and as my brother pointed out, we could have different levels of membership because fans who live far away from the town still might want to contribute, and are kids paying the full whack? But it's certainly something I am interested in. Far better for the existing ST holder IMHO.
