Yes but moving the games about doesn't make you want to buy a season ticket if you reckon you might not be able to get to the games.

How many games can you afford to miss before you're out of pocket ? Two, is it ?

Especially when sky used to make it £5 entry and we were on just about every week in 2009. Devalues the ticket.

Season tickets don't half restrict your marketing options. It's as though they set a minimum price below which you can't offer tickets without risking(justified) earache from season ticket holders.

Didn't sky supplement the £5 offer the other year?

Re: Best Game Day : Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:11 pm  

I believe that Sky allocate some money and you can use it pretty much as you want. Might be free tickets for schools or hire a band for pre match entertainment - whatever. You have to agree it with the RFL though.

It's in everyone's interest for the crowd to be big on t'telly, obviously.

In theory yes, in practice, nope.

So who wants them low ?

Re: Best Game Day : Tue Jul 26, 2011 12:16 pm  

I meant in practice its very difficult to get a big crowd when its on sky.

You'd be surprised.

People see it as a big event because it's on t'telly.
