Paying for the footy now.
Kind of begins to bring into question a little the value of a ST.
You made me wonder whether we were actually less predictable in terms of days and times for home games or about the same as other teams.
I wasn't sure of the answer to this so just had a quick look on the PRL fixture list. Here's how the other teams line up in terms of consistency of home games for the first 10 Rounds. Wasps are 2x Sat at 15:00, 1x Sun at 15:00, 1x Sun at 16:30 and 1x Friday at 19:45 so are 40% Saturday at 15:00.
Bath: 75% (3 out of 4 are Saturday at 15:00)
Bristols: 75% (3 out of 4 are Friday at 19:45)
Chiefs: 80% (4 out of 5 are Saturday at 15:00 the other is 16:30 on a Sat so basically the same)
Gloucs: 60% (3 out of 5 are Friday at 19:45 2 out of 5 are Saturday at 15:00)
Falcons: 59% (2 out of 4 on Saturday at 15:00, 1 Friday and 1 Sunday)
Irish: 60% (3 out of 5 are Saturday at 15:00 the other 2 are Sunday at 15:00)
Sale: 40% (2 out of 5 are Saturday at 17:00, the other 2 are Sunday at 15:00 and Friday 19:45)
Saints: 80% (4 out of 5 Saturday at 15:00, 1 Friday)
Sarries: 50% (2 out of 4 are Saturday at 15:00 the other 2 are Sunday at 15:00)
Warriors: 100% (All 4 are Saturday at 15:00)
Tigers: 60% (3 out of 5 are Saturday at 15:00, 1 Friday and 1 Sunday at 15:00)
Time to become a Chiefs, Saints or Warriors STH,
Neils Of course, I haven't checked how this compares to other seasons when we weren't sharing with CCFC. I can understand why we should be playing after them if we happen to both play at home on the same weekend. We're lucky in that other than Park Run / Kids Park Run we don't really have other commitments on weekends, so can work around fixtures.
But can totally see how if you played Sunday football, or Saturday Rugby or had minis on a particular day each week that you might struggle to get much value out of a Season Ticket vs buying individually. I'm guessing even those who are borderline on cost of a ST vs individual tickets would likely buy a ST anyway as many seem to enjoy the familiarity of where they sit and the people they sit around.
