So 3,220 have signed up to it thus far, i recon we can hit the 5,000 mark with a bit of a push and some good signings. That in affect will be the most season ticket holders weve ever had. http://www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=4946

I suspected that the bulk of the memberships will be taken up the nearer we get to the season as we begin to generate real excitement about SL. At the moment there are still too many people unwilling to attend whilst we are in the championship. Cracking start.

For comparison (not even lowest gates)...

Salford vs Crusaders - 3,416
Crusaders vs Catalan - 3,241
Harlequins vs Wakefield - 2,069

Not a bad start 8 months before season begins... WIIIIIDNES

Does this include existing season ticket holders who haven't been officially signed up yet?

Don't think so... That's why they said 96% + 1,300

Re: Good news regards the stronghold : Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:26 pm  

I think it might be. I think this is a figure of those that have signed up who do not have season tickets at present and season ticket holders that have confirmed an interest of joining in November.

'Winter is coming, and so are The Vikings!'
any fans of literature notice how i took House Starks motto from A Game of Thrones and added to it. seems apt, house stark being all northern snows and slightly vikingy. it may not please anyone else, but being satisfied with that will keep me out fo trouble for several minutes.
UP THE VIKINGS!

It is encouraging at such an early stage. 7,000 is the target and we are 46% of the way there. I'd expect there to be further increases in the figures when we make some signings and hopefully we can market a major charm offensive later on in the year. The big thing the club need to do is get the buy in of the local amateur sides, that can easily add 1,000 people on to that list. Hopefully the ICI Rec set-up will go some way to building bridges and get these peopole involved.

Halfway there with 8 months to go. Equates to about 17 people per day signing up to achieve the 7,000 target. I think its not unrealistic with BOC on board. I hope the club are looking at plans in the summer holidays to get some kids coaching schools down at the stadium, again easy for the club to get more nippers signed up.

Quite optimistic really given the doom and gloom of recent weeks. Onwards and upwards.

Good showing that. Once you sign the big names - that will double. Very good move by your club. Special times ahead for sure.
