Confused Knights Fan

I support the knights and pay full price to go to Marathon.I also have a Mobile phone with Optus. The other day I saw an offer from Optus to take a $15 a month contract and get a season pass to the Knights. This makes me think I'm either subsidising knights fans who get in for free or optus users .
The Knights are short of money. If everyone is getting in free except me that's probly the problem. I would like to see gate takings published as well as the attendence figures.

Welcome to the forum Gasnier.
I wouldn't worry too much. This sounds like a promotion and Optus has to pay to indulge in such a promotion either by way of being a sponsor or by purchasing the tickets.
The Knights are a business and I would think that they wouldn't be giving these tickets away so another business can profit, if you know what I mean.
Although stranger things have happened.
I agree that you should be able to see the gate takings and I would this should be available in the annual report.
Confused? So am I! I have to ask why you have the name Gasnier and support the Knights? :) cheers.

Go to harvey Norman at Maitland. That's where I was offered Optus deal . I think it is this desperate attempt to increase bums on seats that is causing our game so many problems. Will we have a game in 10 years. A bit of rain to day and not big crowd. Ten years ago it could have hailed and people come.Look at Sydney teams like Roosters and Canberra. Where are there people. Big problem.

When I was a boy Gasnier was the greatest threequater going. Knights didn't exist. I still have great memories of Puff.

I piked out on going to the game today. I pay 500 dollars a year so I can watch the game live on pay TV so I don't have to go out in the rain to sit in the mud.
I still have this nagging doubt in my mind that Kurt Gidley may have done something really special in first div and I might have missed it though.
If Newcastle had a stadium with all weather seating they would fill it rain hail or shine.

Gasnier, I thought as much. I almost called myself Changa once but opted for a name that no one in their right mind would want. :eek:)
Good to have you aboard.
