The 8s are you ready. : Mon Jun 22, 2015 2:26 pm  
Im looking forward to them.
Lets make it an event
I think the club should pull out all the stops to make sure B Vs packed. Special offers with season ticket holders able to bring a friend for £7 and two for a fiver. Free tickets circulated for school kids who bring an adult at £10 on the gate. Free entry to people who buy the shirt. Hand held flags for kids, a reduced ticket for attending all the games.
Any other ideas
I honestly don't think the 8s should be anything to worry about, and with the right kind of marketing mind set the club can take a giant step to getting supporters to get behind the team and turn up.
Come on Mr Carter you have done a great job in your appointment of Brian Smith lets show him just how passionate we can be given the right circumstances

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS

Re: The 8s are you ready. : Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:27 pm  
So, according to this Middle 8's format, if the leagues finished as they are now, we would play:

Hull KR, Bradford and Halifax at home and Widnes, Salford, Leigh and Sheffield away.


I think I'd be happy enough to take on that challenge - would certainly prefer Bradford at Belle Vue than at Odsal as our record there is not great. Salford is not as intimidating a trip as Hull KR so I'd take that too. Widnes away is tough with the advantage their pitch gives them but I reckon we could probably do enough with those fixtures to ensure we're atill battling in SL next year.

Points difference is going to be important too so even those we lose need to be close affairs
Widnes away not good. Would prefer them at ours.

I would like to see the club offer some kind of Middle 8, 3 game ticket offer at a reduced price.

3 games for the price of 2 or something?

I bought my season ticket at the start of the season, but would not be against this if it got more through the gate. Having said that i'm sure there would be more than a few who would complain and i suppose it wont help with season ticket sales for next year. Fine line i suppose.

I think the club should put the prices up for the Middle 8 games, they will be the most exciting of the season and we might have a chance of the odd win.

This is a simple thing to market and an ideal way to bring in some extra £££ that we wouldn't have got last year

I would do a slidding scale price
If you go to all three then it's the cheapest option
Game 1 £20
Game 2 £15
Game 3 £10
But to get them prices you must attend all the games abit of a loyalty thank you....

As for merch it's a fine line cause club would need to have the outlay and if all didn't go well would be stuck with a load of stock that can't be shifted, generic Wtw flags scarfs etc fine as these can roll onto next season but specific super 8s is a risk the club don't need!!

A perverse positive from our awful season is that we know our fate at the split and can prepare the players for it. The middle eight play offs will demand the players to be prepared for the unexpected of the championship clubs both mentally and physically. The problem for the other 11 clubs is that their players believe they will not be in the bottom 4 but sadly three will and this could work to our advantage.

Exactly the other clubs in sl are putting effort in to avoiding the bottom 3. Our fates sealed and with the right preparation we will survive. I don't see Widnes away as a problem, Widnes in my view are over rated and I would expect a tight game but a win.

So Widnes who hammered us twice this season are over rated ? On paper they are miles stronger tan us in all areas. We are getting better but we have a massive amount of catching up to do. I do not think people on here realize just how poor our outside backs are. That said we are improving and the players are now putting the effort in, plus we have a coach who picks Anakin so all is not lost

Yes they are. Miles stronger? Give over. If we were firing on all cylinders from the start we wouldve probably done the double over the likes of Widnes and Salford. Sadly we weren't. I agree our outside backs are worse than the ones we had last year and getting rid of Fox and Mathers to sign Owen and Hall was just plain lunacy.
