How much?

Re: Memberships : Sat Nov 03, 2012 7:47 pm  

£50

So they're giving people all the money off at places in Xscape & the like for £10.

"members stand" (Wheldon Road End)

If only a club, say 10 miles away, could also come up with the idea of having an end of their own ground for home fans only!!

Nah, can't see that happening. Opposing fans would be outraged.

So its £20 in a game with £10 on top to earn discounts at various places, I can see that but usually incentives are free or part of a discount package. Still hope it works out anything to promote the game wider has got to be good.

Do i detect a hint of sarcasm in your post

I think there was a bit of an over-reaction last season with the 'where we'd like you to stand' thing , Maybe the derby game wasnt the best one to try and implement it at.
I think the advantage Cas have now with introduce the members only stand is that we are taking this stance now before the season starts and saying how its going to be at Wheldon Road , Unfortunatley for Wakey they tried it after the season had started and it made it hard to implement (IMHO)

Is that broken down into Gold Silver and bronze numbers to get a feel from the fans. Without wanting to debate it Wakefield have counted Gold at about 4300, If Cas can sell more than last season like us then Bronze and silver are likely to attend further games, obviously further revenue then from people on the terraces and merchandise etc.

Have to say, if its £20 a game that isn't a very enticing deal.

It is if you look at it this way: one family trip to Nandos/Chiquitos/Frankie & Bennys and the 25% discount covers that other £10 in the bronze deal.

"One of the most pleasing aspects of the response so far is that while 68% of the 1,500 are Silver Memberships, 711 of the 1,500 are those who have signed up for membership, having not had a season ticket last year." - from the club website.

So 1020 of the 1500 paid over £200 for a membership.
