Not one person I have spoken to is "happy" at having to part with £60'"
I'm delighted with my £60 membership.
The comparison with the Broncos membership - theirs will be an annual fee, rather than a initial payment, then 'nominal' renewal fees, won't it? Also, although the free bus/rail travel is good, it isn't much use from Paragon.

having read most of this topic i can't see fc doing one of these schemes, mainly because
we are a profit making club
we have enough seats to cover our average fan base
we have had 2 poor seasons now, can you really see rule coming out with something like this??
this scheme reminds me of Ratners. all shiny andlovely on the outside, but worthless and a complete rip off when you buy

I just woulden't join, simple as that
so someone may take my reserved seat...I'll simply go sit in the other 10,000 spare seats.
there simply isn't the same threat of 'don't pay, lose your seat' like there is at small grounds like craven park.

And feel free to save this post in case FC ever do come up with the same scheme as Rovers have.

Exactly. Which is why FC would have to come up with something different if they want a membership scheme that will work.

Well if it's a scheme that forces us to put £60 down 7 months before the next season starts, then sign up for passes 6 months before the season starts, you'll have to wait until next year. As it is, we normally get until 31st December to sign up for passes at the discounted rate, ie 6 weeks before the season starts rather than 6 months.

a couple of years ago they might have got away with doing a 'platinum' or 'gold' season ticket which allowed you cup and playoff tickets before anyone else. But the queues hardly circle the stadium for floodlit 9's tickets!

Lost the argument. It's Ok quoting "5000" in every post but the fact remains that most of those have been browbeaten into this because of the limited size of Caravan Park.
And that majority are not happy Club members - in fact the resentful chuntering has started already.
And no, I wouldn't join a scheme "like this", ie the Rovers one, because it's a rip-off with a milk-skin thin veneer on top.
I may consider joining a Hull FC scheme depending the terms of the scheme and the benefits to me. But if that involved being blackmailed into parting with money to keep my seat, then I would be wondering why I'm loyal to a club that wants to rip me off and shoves 2 fingers up at the commitment and thousands of pounds I've already poured into their coffers over the last 30 years.
But you obviously know me more than I know myself - what a liar I am!

Otherwise it has been proven by many organisations outside RL to work well as a loyalty scheme that in turn makes accessing you customer base a lot easiler, rather than a money making enterprise.'"
Quite correct.
Instead of coming clean and saying "bugger me, we're skint, giz some dosh guys", they PAY a bunch of marketeers (I do wonder if there may just be some directorial connection), to come up with a plan that basically updates DAZ & OMO coupons and the fans' pay for the privilege.

freebie Juniors and school children that wont even want a pass.surely they would off spouted the 5,000 season passes sold if this was not the case. They are quoting these figures to worry those fans that have not bought mug rovers cards yet. But then why would they worry when on the biggest day in the last 25yr of their history they could still pay on the gate for ALL stands

I just love supporting my team in as many ways as I can. If I can afford it, I will. When I can't, I won't.

But this isn't of benefit to your club is it?
Be honest, having been obsessed by everything Rovers for quite a while now (particularly our finances), you're annoyed at a scheme that helps to drag us out of the imaginary mire which you have created in the minds of many of your fellow 'fans'.

Fab!
So, if you can afford it, why not just write another cheque to Hudge and Co for £60 just for the Hell of it? Christ knows, they need it!
