has anybody had an e-mither for this yet? lots of my mates signed up for it but as other people have said they also got a cats ticket but nothing for this.

No! Ive heard from three people who signed up for the offer. They received an email giving them freebies for the Catalans game but nothing for tonight.

If they are that interested in going tonight they will pay however it has left them rather baffled and not the best first impression of the club for them

My Nephew got a reply but as it said he has to go and collect his ticket from the club chop and take ID he said stuff that.
The fact it is pi$$ing it down has not exctly made it a enticing proposition either.

My nephew did it all he had to do is go to community centre behind the South Stand, said it took 30 seconds max? Don't see what the problem is, people getting in for free at still moaning. If you get to the marquee, your nephew could nip down get his ticket by time you've been served? Issue over nothing.

Erm, if they had freebies for the Catalans game then they won't get one for this as they are already on the club's database. The idea is to get people to try it for the first time and then keep coming back if they like it. If the tight f**kers don't want to pay then it's not exactly working in the way it should for the growth of the club.

And it can't be a first impression of the club if they've already taken advantage of the offer, can it?

Re: St Helens Offer : Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:33 pm  

You are missing my point. This offer was publicised for free tickets for tonight which they clicked the link and signed up for. They then received an email giving them free tickets for the Catalans game a day before the match. They didn't use them for a variety of reasons. My point is why offer tickets for tonight and then send them tickets for another game.

Re: St Helens Offer : Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:42 pm  

my mates who signed up(if thats the right phrase) did so for tonights game. they got e mails for cats game and not for tonight,so when they applied for saints game they were not on the database.i know you should not complain about something for free and its good the club are trying to get people in. would have been good to say either cats or saints game on the offer.

Re: St Helens Offer : Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:49 pm  

My apologies, that wasn't too clear when I read both posts, I thought they'd used the offer specifically for the Catalans game. In that case something strange has gone on.

Re: St Helens Offer : Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:04 pm  

The problem seems to be that there have been a number of branded offers (try before you buy, real radio xs, bring a mate & oasis academy) which all have been promoted differently, but all feed into the same online form. For everything other than this Saints game the offer has just been to have a free, non-specific game ticket; so you've just got the next game. Anyone following the link for the Oasis Academy offer before the Catalan game, appears to have just been treated like anyone taking up any of the other non-specifc offers and been sent a ticket to the next available game and not the Saints game.

Re: St Helens Offer : Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:38 pm  

So anyways, it's game day, how do you think it will go?

Some good results in the last bunch of games for Salford, but the last game was a bit strange losing to Castleford after Cas had been well beat on the Monday night Sky game. I think Saints will be looking to tight defence and attacking more around Roby and the ruck, rather than the expansive game they had against Bradford.

Not being funny, but aren't these offers supposed to be for new supporters, and not freeloaders/away fans?

Why not state that on the page with the application ? It would have cleared it all up if that was the case but I don't think it was.

I think it was a pathetic scam to draw people's attention to the game in hope people will just say "stuff it I'll go anyway" like I did.

I think it's backfired on Salford, I know many people who said they wasn't going because of this Pathetic scam and Friends of friends have said the same.

I know the Salford club are desperate to attract fans but that tactic is shocking!

5,447 is another rubbish crowd with the fact you give free tickets away.
