Season Tickets 2020
Re: Season Tickets 2020
Am I the only person who doesn’t even notice the drum I’m to busy shouting and watching the game to even notice.
Re: Season Tickets 2020
Thing that is wrong and DP said this in the evening post I think it was all games on the last day of the season should kick -off on the same day at the same time
Sky have a deal with premier league football but all there matches kick off on the same day at the same time last round of fixtures so no one as a chance of a advantage

Probably one of those things that you notice if it annoys you, but don’t if it doesn’t!Mucky1978 wrote:Am I the only person who doesn’t even notice the drum I’m to busy shouting and watching the game to even notice.
But is that the point? People who don’t mind it don’t tend to notice it (so what’s the point of it?) and those who do are annoyed by it.
To me it’s something that can only have a negative impact. I can’t imagine anyone who is making a decision about whether or not to go to a game thinks “I’ll go because of the drum”. But there will be people who will think “I’m not going because of the drum”. Just seems to be one of those no-win scenarios to me.

I’m out i’m afraid, the fixture changes make it unviable. I’ll pay as and when.

Re: Season Tickets 2020
Since 2017, we have been the most televised club for Sky games. As much as we all love supporting and watching Cas, financially, it makes sense to stay home, save ££ and watch from the comfort of your own sofa.
Re: Season Tickets 2020
I think our over exposure on TV as hurt our attendances big style, we all know fans who have got out of the habit of coming to matches taking the easy option, were i stand in the princess st stand there are quiet a number of missing fans that have been stood there for yearsheritage1926 wrote:Since 2017, we have been the most televised club for Sky games.

Re: Season Tickets 2020
Look I understand people who financially can't afford to go especially when we're on telly there have been many times when ive being too skint to afford a season pass
But even with state of ground and folks not happy with whats happened since 2017 you can't beat watching cas down lane

I always stand at the railway end “scoreboard” and I can’t say as I hear the drum at all.Mucky1978 wrote:Am I the only person who doesn’t even notice the drum I’m to busy shouting and watching the game to even notice.
Back to season tickets it’s good value if your available and watch all our teams. For me personally it doesn’t work and hasn’t done for a couple of years so I will pay individually for the games I want to attend. The problem with that is as I’ve found this year that if I have a better option of doing something else I’ve tended to miss the rugby especially if it’s on sky and that goes for home and away games, I’m sure I’m not the only person which is a shame as I did around a 20 year spell where I could count on 1 hand the number of games I’d missed.

You might think there is nothing better than going to the game (and I used to think the same), but there are plenty of people who would prefer to watch on TV now.
One reason for for that I think is the number of night games - it’s an appealing option to sit and have a beer at home at watch the game on TV. I’ve tried to make every game I can in 2018, but only because I had a ST. I know full well that I’ll be tempted to watch some games on TV next year that I would have attended if I still has a ST.
We’ll also be losing a lot of families who just don’t want young kids out until past 10:00pm, especially on a Thursday. That doesn’t just lose the kids, it loses their parent(s) too.
There have always been (and will always be) people who can’t afford a season ticket, so attend games as a when they can. But we are potentially losing people who can afford a a ST but are choosing not to get one.
Re: Season Tickets 2020
Yes I said I appreciate I'm in a good position living in Glasshoughton and being able to go to every game and I'm looking forward to going watch the second team next season as well , for those able you can't beat going live down lane to watch a match rarther than staying at home I should have saidnottinghamtiger wrote:My worry is that people who can afford to go are choosing not to.tigerfeat wrote:Look I understand people who financially can't afford to go especially when we're on telly there have been many times when ive being too skint to afford a season pass

Re: Season Tickets 2020
maybe sky could share the games out more evenly, the amount of times we have been on is just unfair.

Re: Season Tickets 2020
The problem is peoplle want to watch us and are a big attraction. More times on tv means potentially more sponsorship and bigger contracts. But constant changing of days is dreadful.greenhouse wrote:maybe sky could share the games out more evenly, the amount of times we have been on is just unfair.

It’s similar to football. Apart from the supporters of the teams, who really wants to see Bournemouth V Brighton as the prime game on a weekend. With SL, would you be happy watching Huddersfield v Hull KR one week, followed the week after by Wakefield v Catalans? Armchair viewers want to see the best games week on week. Unfortunately that means that the entertaining teams get put on TV more often
Re: Season Tickets 2020
I’m completely the same didn’t miss a game for years but once I gave season ticket Up at end of 2018 because of sky moving fixtures.it’s very surprising how the missed games add up.and now I’m out of the routine of going no matter what.I’m not sure I will ever get back to the level of interest I once had.braytontiger wrote:I always stand at the railway end “scoreboard” and I can’t say as I hear the drum at all.Mucky1978 wrote:Am I the only person who doesn’t even notice the drum I’m to busy shouting and watching the game to even notice.

Re: Season Tickets 2020
This is why the club needs to do more on a match day.
The entertainment is dull as dishwater, we never have any theme days, we never have anything going on around the training pitch or on it that’s remotely different.
It’s getting to the stage where the club is so stuck in its way and it pain me to say it, that even teams like York are better at it than us. When we do it’s a local singer no one has heard of.
It may not appeal to everyone or might not drag Joe Public from his armchair 100 miles away but it might drag a few speccies out from locally who may bypass it.

Yes the armchair viewer can’t get enough of our 5 drives and a kick which is what we’ve served up over the vast majority of the season.mart0042 wrote: The problem is peoplle want to watch us and are a big attraction.

I agree with Alf the rugby served up this season as not been of a open nature the speccies are used to a fear of that continuing next year will put people off rarther than whats happening offthe field

Re: Season Tickets 2020
If people think they are going to get value for money, they are more likely to attend. That includes everything from the moment you step through the gates from entertainment, to the game, to speed of service, to facilities.
I’m not saying it will or won’t but if there was something like a real ale festival on by the training pitch with loads of local sellers, and did a big push locally, it may encourage a lot more neutrals to spend their money to get entry particularly if part of the ticket price you got two free beer tokens or something.
The whole sporting culture is changing. It’s becoming an event culture. There was an article I read yesterday looking at how likes of darts have embraced this. It isn’t about the sport as such, it’s about going for a good night out with mates, having a laugh, fancy dress etc. If we have loads of night games, we have to find a way of making the game a good night out that encourages people before and after to stay.

I think this is the root cause to be honest.
The club don't put on any activities for kids as there are barely any there. When they do, they get it wrong - kids for a quid was a great idea, but then the club made the rule that all kids had to be in the ground over 90 minutes before kick-off, on the coldest night of the year, and then provided absolutely diddly squat that occupied them).
