Replaced by membership loyalty cards?

I'm not sure I understand the difference really.

i guess no more "tickets" and the ablity to build up "points"

Ill be interested to see what the value of these points are and where you can build them up, if its all local stores them it wont mean a thing to me as i live miles away

whats the betting there wont be swipe machine at enough gates and theyll break every 5 minutes , not that im a perssimist or anything !

Is it going to be like the cards they have at Leeds?

Yes the cards they have at Leeds! Only you get to collect points...at least you can turn up at a match next season and expect to go home with some points!


On a more serious note i didnt know Bulls had electronic turnstyles?

We don't! That's why I'm a little bemused.

I think this has the makings of being a really good idea.

But I've got my pessimistic head on this morning . . . sorry.

Wonder if you'll only be able to use one or two specific gates on game day?

"[iPlenty of stores[/i" have signed up . . . . . ? Hmmmm. Wonder why there wasn't a number attached to that "[iplenty[/i"? 3? 5? 150? AND who are they?

Wonder how they "sold" it to the stores, many of whom have their own schemes? . . . . . . which again makes you wonder who they are. Would be good if Morrison's had signed up I suppose.

How do you know what you have actually built up on your card? Addressing that could be expensive.

I still think it has the makings of being a good idea. I just don't think the T&A article gives enough information to really understand what the crack is.

Windsors, Boyds, Wilkinsons, Poundstretcher, etc.

Seriously, I think its an ace idea. As long as its easy to use - one turnstile on each set for example, I don't see a problem.

Perhaps you will be able to check your balance online somehow? That would be good.

And to go a step further, it seems strange for them to be introduced when we supposedly have major renovation works in the pipeline. On the other hand there will be a saving (I guess) on gate staff so maybe that is the idea.

Looks like the season tickets will again be a bargain for 13 live matches of top quality sport (even if it's usually the opposition) and the loyalty card points are a bonus (even if it is soemthing of a gimmick).

Gimmick or not, it's innovative marketting for a Super League club. Something we made our name with in the early days of summer rugby.
I know it's been a bad season but can we please not write off something that hasn't even started yet?

I agree I'm just trying to make the point that the real underlying benefit is that the season ticket remains a great way of watching live sport in a friendly atmosphere and cheaply. They're still a bargain.

In regard to the high street retailers the info for who's signed up is

it's a cracking idea and if it's the same scheme as what Chelsea and other premiership clubs use I don't think the quality of shops to be spending points on will be low.

as demonstrated by Roofaldo's post.

Looks good and another Bulls Superleague first.

Looks very good.
HMV, ebay, play.com, Tesco, etc - I'm going to collect millions of points!

Will the points can be carried over from one season to the next ? If so then this will encourage prospective buyers to renew each season.

3.5million points can fix the plumbing at one toilet at Odsal!

I agree, this is a really positive move by the club and Im happy they are trying to offer more value and trying something different, well done to all concerned!

Not quite looks like HKR are already doing it as listed on the True Points Site

Not according to Roofaldo's link, it would appear that in addition to Chelsea and Bolton - Hull KR are also a member of the scheme. I suppose it doesn't have the same ring of innovative marketing if the Robins got there before us!

I somehow doubt I'll be earning enough points to get a £5 off the home shirt, and what will happen to the away vouchers for junior members. I'm sure it's been thought through, but we'll have to wait and see it in operation.

The worrying comment on the story is "selected high street partners in the Bradford area".

Ladbrokes, Oxfam and Poundstretcher it is then.

HKR already use it so hardly a SL first

I dont know if I am adding 1 + 1 and coming up with 5, but a friend at work has a Bradford City season ticket which is a "swipe card". Does anyone think this might be a clue that we might be playing at Valley Parade next season where the facilities already exist?

I hope not!

The City season tickets are not swipe cards, they are cards rather than vouchers, but you have to show to the turnstile operators.
