Season tickets will be on sale tomorrow according to the official Facebook page.
Seems a bit odd putting them on sale when it's still uncertain what division we'll be playing in. But I suppose it's good getting them out nice and early.

Makes sense to me - beat Toulouse and people will be overcome by positive thoughts and order a season ticket there and then.......in theory!

After all the nonsense of games being moved by Sky,the club has got some work to do to expect fans to renew. I’m definitely considering what I should do. I can understand games needing to be moved,but there needs to be a longer lead time. Having a full set of fixtures available before the season begins has to be good news though.

Well this season I've bought a full season ticket, a half season ticket and for a great many games just rocked up and bought a ticket regardless but can't see me doing this again.
I appreciate it's not Salfords fault (I hold all clubs responsible for not growing a set and sticking up for the bread and butter fans) but you can't with all good conscious expect fans to buy tickets when they are subject to 11th hour changes.

I'm hoping Junior being on the blurb is a sign he will be with us in 2019.

How many games got switched for TV late this year ?
If people use this as a excuse not to buy a ST then it’s laughable.

Agree late changes can be a pain but as said above its not Salfords fault and its Salford who need the funds. So I will be buying mine Friday.

I sometimes wonder what jobs that some of our "Fans" do that they are able to plan there whole schedule almost a year in advance?
Fixtures are always subject to change, this is the case for most televised sports however much we seem to believe that it isn't (I do however sympathize with supporters who lost money after the recent last minute changes).
I was a season Ticket holder at Old Trafford for 27 years and fixture changes due to various Television companies wishing to showcase MY team are just a fact of life and never even entered my thought process when renewal time came around.
I was a season ticket holder at the AJ Bell from our first game there up until last season.
I let both my tickets go at that point since the birth of my first child. It is a 250 mile round trip for home games for me since I live on Anglesey in North Wales these days, and I didn't feel it was fair to commit to leaving my wife quite literally holding the baby well I disappeared off for the best part of a day at a time watching Rugby or Football.
This has turned out to be a bit of a false economy for me, as I have actually attended the majority of Salford games this season, as I felt MY club needed my support now more than ever.
For this reason I will be repurchasing my ticket for next season.
Over the last few seasons we have had people decide that a season ticket is not for them as the majority of fixtures were on a Friday, and take aim at the club for what they considered to be a personal slight against them because it didnt suit. Then we had an equally large group of supporters bow out because we switched them to Sunday. We have even lost "Fans" due to the club using a Drum!!
No wonder our crowds are down.
Whatever reasons people give for justifying why they wont purchase a season ticket are there own, it is not my place to judge.
However if people are now deciding that they wont purchase a ticket due to the hypothetical possibility of fixture changes in the future (None of which will be the fault of the club) then I have to say that feels pretty flimsy to me.

It's not so much the work aspect for me (I'm self employed) more the planning of other things, I spend a fair bit of time in Belgium and have on quite a few occasions missed games as they have been switched.
I would be nice if the club said categorically that Friday/Saturday/Sunday is going to be the chosen day to play home games.
Would make life so much easier if they did.

Ah b*lls to it - couldn't resist, just renewed the family ST over the blower. 10 monthly payments of £52, neither here nor there really in the grand scheme of things.
Roll on Feb. Thursday first though. Squeaky bum time!

If the unthinkable should happen and we end up in the championship won't the prices of a ST change?
That is unless the clubs know there is a change coming and that should a SL team be relegated they will stay up!

Same - I was sat here trying to work out if I’d make enough games to make it worthwhile then just thought; ‘sod it’ it’s not like I’ll need to sell a kidney to pay for it! |

I'll be renewing in next few days and no complaints about the prices. And if (god forbid) we go down I don't want a price reduction as we'll need all the money we can get to get ourselves back up. I've missed a fair few home games this year due to personal commitments but for the sake of say £60-£80 (the minimum price of a decent night out these days!) I'm really not that arsed. This year I've got season tickets for Salford Rugby & Salford City for under £350 combined.... I think that covers 37 games...bargain!!!
I just wish I could convince mates to come with me to the Rugby. They're all footy fans and bar once a season when I drag them kicking and screaming I just can't get them interested in Rugby League. It seems easy to say it but if every fan brought one person to a game with them that's gonna be roughly 2500-3000 extra fans a game and £50k+ additional game day revenue!!!
