I've got to say I do like the membership idea. Cost is such a big issue for many especially in the current climate but monthly affordable payment should definitely entice a few newbies and lapsed fans back.

Finally, Cas get in to the 21st century and offer a much more affordable and efficient way of being able to follow your team. Great idea and I will be getting on this ASAP.

Erm, yes, it does:

New members - £21.67 per month
2020 donation supporters – £16.67 per month
2021 Members - £18.00

If you donated your ST in 2020 it’s cheapest. Those who got a ST this year save just over £30. Not sure on the price of paying in full

St. Helens was postponed due to COVID after the final

I wish they’d push the lottery & tiger tv more. If they attached one/both to an option for membership I genuinely believe they’d pick up “new” money.
Cue someone showing me where you can already do this! :D : :D #-o

I thought TigerTV did come with the membership scheme? Or at least it did when it first launched? :D

Hopefully this new pay monthly takes off and the club get 5000+ (about/roughly £100k a month pre-tax) there's a lot of really good options that save a fair bit of money over paying on the gate/individual games.

Though the problem with season tickets wasn't paying for them but the RFL changing the match day at the last minute and people not being able to attend the new date ?

This is great by the club. However, not everyone is going to renew their season ticket for 2022 so how do those supporters go about getting a rebate for games missed in 2021?

Stand by on that one... little steps.

We (the Fan Steering Group) managed to help the membership / monthly payment option over the line... membership bolt-ons are (hopefully) coming.

19% of sign ups so far being new members is a great start.

Steve Ferres did something similar with the memberships it nearly bankrupt the club and involved another loan bailout by Fulton family. I hope this time its more successful. The monthly payments scheme is very risky in any business scheme maybe should of got a secured finance partner like Klarna to guarantee income with no risk.

Don’t remember Ferres bringing a similar scheme in. It was one which allowed three levels of Membership, gold, silver and bronze with a card system ( which we still have) and a gift box ( which we don’t). Didn’t hear that had anything to do with our bad financial position, thought it was more to do with expensive and urgent safety repairs to the Stadium. We were saved by selling Clark and an up front cash payment from Sky to Super League clubs.

Exactly. The Steve Ferres “gimmick” was a disaster, particularly the “members only in the Wheldon Road end”. There was no payment plan with the 2013 version, just a key ring, hat and a load of other tosh.

I’ll be getting one but using the “payment in full” method next weekend.
