Due to the 2020 Telstra Premiership competition postponement and subsequent restructure, combined with Government rules still in effect which will restrict matches being played in front of live audiences, the Raiders acknowledge that we will be unable to deliver the full range of game day access rights that Access Members subscribed to.
To this end, we have developed a range of options and ask those affected to please select the option that best suits your circumstances by Monday 22 June.
With our strong sense of community and local connection, we remain committed to:
- Improving the reach and profile of our sport
- Contributing greater social value to our community
- Being financially sustainable to continually invest in rugby league activities
- Developing the best sporting infrastructure for participation
- Delivering our club values into the wider community
- Improving the region through rugby league programs, participation and education.
We believe that our community is what keeps us going. We understand that everyone’s situation is unique and know that you will continue to support us in the best way you can and ask where possible, to allocate your funds to our club.

FAQs
Why is the Club asking me to keep my funds with the Club?
The Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on communities across the globe. Like many other sports clubs across Australia, our great club has been severely impacted financially by Coronavirus.
Membership funds are a significant component of Raiders annual revenue. Keeping the funds with the Club will help us be financially sustainable to continually invest in rugby league activities and will assist the Club to get through this period of financial hardship.
How much will my credit amount to?
The credit amount is based on what you have paid for your package, minus the costs the organisation has incurred for the production and delivery of your members pack as well as any game day costs.
Refer below for example ‘unfulfilled’ component amounts. Please note costs may change for Members on part-payments, subject to individual payment plan schedules.
I have a part-season access membership, am I entitled to a credit?
As an Access Member you are entitled to a credit for the ‘unfulfilled components’ of your package.
If restrictions in place change and patrons can attend games, will I be able to get a ticket?
Should this occur and a limited number of seats become available, more information will be communicated at the time, including which Members if any may be eligible to purchase tickets. Our Clubs attitude is to provide game-day ticket access first ahead of general public.
How long will it take to receive my refund or Raiders Shop voucher?
Where refunds are payable, allow up to 28-days for the refund to be processed back into your account or for Raiders Shop voucher details to be provided.
How will my credit work when 2021 Memberships go on sale?
