Sheer creative genius. Couldn't they have asked fans for suggested names?
Feels a bit like when thousands was spent on marketing 'activity' to replace the 'Pure Dead Brilliant' slogan at Prestwick Airport and the inspired outcome was 'Welcome to Scotland'.

I guess it depends on your point of view/comparison between Murrayfield and mini-field but for us, we had a gold seats in 2019/20 and now a concession will more than double for a new cat 1 seat.
The 2019/20 season tickets were £185/£210 (Silver/Gold) and concessions £50 to £105 (Silver)/ £70 to £120 (Gold). Now the Cat 1 is £295 and £250 for a concession.
Are we saying that a 2019/20 gold seat is now the same product as a new Cat 3 seat - both at £210? We finished 2nd bottom in the pro 14 conference and 2nd bottom in the rainbow cup, and haven't signed any big names (in my opinion) to justify the increase. I'm sure some will be quick to point to the new stadium which will be great when full, but I'm just a little disappointed with these increases.

I think your points are valid i am interested in folks take on it, SRU clearly think they will sell STs at these price points, it may back fire if too many think it is too steep.

For me as a concession, its a considerable uplift in price but not unexpected. Do I swallow the hike or pick and choose dependent on team playing and opposition? Whatever my decision the club need to ensure that the fan experience is good at every game and that owning a season ticket represents real value. Only then will we see real growth. I’ve probably made up my mind now
