£25 for a season ticket, jsb membership for a year isn't really bad at all is it?
You would pay that for an invite to the parties on their own anyway.
There is no hint of unhappiness or anything in my question is there?
£25 gets you a free season ticket if taken up when buying a full price adult season ticket. For U13s only.
Wasps equivalent is free. U16s get to go for free with a paying adult. Individual games - no season ticket requirement.
A friend of mine, who is a football man but supports Leeds, has been to watch Wasps under duress because his Rugby loving 9 year old was visited by Wasps at the club he plays at.

Free tickets to schools doesn't cost the club anything, or am I missing something.
Give more kids tickets they will come with parents.More kids more support better atmosphere. Might just get one or two hooked.
The free tickets are for seats that would otherwise be empty, and don't they haveChrist. Yes - as a company you'd record it as cost if potential revenue. Unless you've accursed database management - which Otis thinks you don't need - you also can't say going to an event like this would gain revenue.
So if you offered 30,000 free tickets your a marketing genius - you've sold the ground out - well done!
Well it worked at the ice hockey and it seems to be working for the wasps but no there is no evidence.Will they? Do you have any evidence? Should they not offer free tickets anymore and pursue this strategy?
Gone down haven't they?On here people always quoted free ticket given out by Wasps what has been the increase or decrease in their gates since they have done these promotions does anybody know.
Well I believe they get better crowds now then when they were in wycombe.On here people always quoted free ticket given out by Wasps what has been the increase or decrease in their gates since they have done these promotions does anybody know.
That is why they have gone back to a Sunday I would have thought.Gone down haven't they?

He does indeed. Always taking a contrary position and always trying to put barriers up.You're clearly against the club promoting itself. Why is that? Do you enjoy playing the victim?
Should be doing both, Dave.The clubs PR is not brilliant, I can't see how anyone can say differently. However to try and pick apart the differences between CCFC and SBITC compared to Wasps and their charity arm just seems to be searching for a stick to beat the club with.
The issue for CCFC is what can they do with a limited budget that is cost effective. I can't imagine there's many people in the city who don't know the club exists so past going into schools and local clubs, which they already do, to get the kids interest what should they be doing to draw back the older fans?
The youth and gaining there interest as early as possible, are the future ot this club.I think the kids get a lot more than people seem to think, I'd prefer more focus on oaps
Yet in all of this there's no mention of the fully booked kids party with queues round the corner and increase in kids season tickets?The youth and gaining there interest as early as possible, are the future ot this club.
Think as has been said already though, Nick, times have changed. What happened before is irrelevant.
There is a new threat in town and they are Wasps. Goalposts have moved. Some kids will be football through and through and will not be swayed, but there must be an awful lot of kids out there that could be swayed one way or the other.
Free tickets to a Wasps game and a few goodies and they could be hooked to rugby rather than football spectator wise.
If this wasn't the case Wasps wouldn't be doing it, but they clearly are. They are trying to target as many as possible and the kids are always the future of any sporting club.
Even since Wasps have been here the goalposts have been moving haven't they?What do you mean what happened before? I am talking about while Wasps have been here?
Season tickets for kids have gone up this season haven't they before the season has kicked off?
Said a few times before, I'd much prefer they targetted the older fellas couped in care homes around the city. (they already do target kids, schools, kids sports teams, kids in the community etc)
Even since Wasps have been here the goalposts have been moving haven't they?
When Wasps first came there was no talk of their setting out to destroy the football club. There was no talk of their taking over our academy location and both clubs were talking to each other on seemingly relatively good terms.
Things have changed greatly and the situation become a lot more urgent in many people's eyes.
Just picking up on the what happened before. Doesn't necessarily have to coincide with before Wasps came.What has that got to do with my post about the kids party and kids season ticket numbers rising though?

Which kids party are you talking about?
Yeah, maybe, but then I do find the older people are the more set in their ways they become. And didn't realise you were talking about the Coventry City kids party!
My dad used to go up every week from the 1940's to the 1970's
You could now offer him a seat and a hundred quid and he still wouldn't go.
Do find a lot of people get more stubborn and set in their ways and are therefore more likely to not be swayed to go.
Kids are very impressionable.
That's my take anyways.
I'm sure you could convince some from care homes, but feel the numbers would be so low it wouldn't justify the time and effort.

I'm all for trying any initiative though, so maybe it could be seriously looked at.
Yeah, I agree.Was only an idea, I think SBitC do go into care homes.
I just think a coach full of the older blokes taken to a game to get them out of the care home for a day may do them the world of good.
Yep, seen some, but would say the vast majority have been adults and then a few teenagers.Another thing.
Have people seen many kids walking around town / playing out in Wasps gear on non matchdays? I am by no means on the road all day around Coventry so not the best judge but have never seen a kid walking around anywhere in a Wasps shirt yet.
The thing then is that their sons and daughters then see how happy it has made their / granddad. Maybe the dad or grandad wants to go again, so their son or grandson would need to take them instead because it was a 1 off that the club did it.Yeah, I agree.
You may have to force them onto the coach with cattle prods though.
The humane alternative would be to do the carrot dangling trick but use Werther Originals instead.

I know Wasps are going into Bablake. Have seen their flags up there a few times, but then Bablake has always been more pro rugby than football anyway.
Otherwise known as Hoo-rah to us plebs.Yep, the private schools are all over it.. Same with King Henrys.
