yeah we pay to watch them and if thats good enough for you then thats fine. I personally think they could do more for everyone. Like do a fans day in the city centre near the big screen where you can meet the players chat with them and other fans, do competitions and far far far more for the kids like training days with the players or school trips around the stadium and facilities so they can see how they train etc

It was mentioned a while (8-9 months I think) back when the scheme was relaunched, and unsuprisingly people bitched and complained about it.

Suppose if you could produce at least 10 ticket stubs for that season they could let you in! If you could produce 10 then it would be more money than I've put into the club this year!

its a good idea just not any good for me at the mo. will start next year for 2011 tho...no merchandise for me next season tho

Interesting, the way this thread has gone. I have sympathy for the guy who can;t 'finance' a pass, but weekly shows as much committment as any FC Fan. The issue is simply financing - cash flow. He pays for his rugby weekly, and to pay a year in advance, requires either a lump sum ONE OFF, and then weekly saving or some plan.

He riases a good point - what does the club do for the average plan. In my opinion, what the club SHOULD do is help the 'Average Fan' achieve Season pass Status. Saving Stamps are an attempt, but the club could help with that "One Year In Advance" situation which people short of 'disposable cash' will struggle with. I would like the club offer this. When the season ends, any FC Fan who commits to a season pass for the next TWO YEARS can start a 1 year saving account with Hull FC that runs from September 09 to December 10. (15 monthly payments). Based on say £230 a pass, the aim would be to put in £30 a month for 15 months (£450) and that would fund next years pass, and the 2011 years pass by December next year, allowing everyone to then be a year in front as a season pass holder.

If I can think of this, sat eating my sandwiches and reading the message board, why can't Huff FC Marketting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well said matey your a legend after 4 posts in my eyes lol. bloody good points! fc take note!!!

And what about people who default after 4/5 payments?

Exactly.

then tough its their fault!

We have at least one thread like this every season. Why can't folk get their heads around the fact that being a passholder gives you some privileges in return for giving the club cash up front? Unfortunate if you can't afford the lump sum, but that's just the way it is.

The point being that under the proposed scheme, you would get your first pass [ibefore[/i you'd finished paying for it. What's to stop someone just paying until the pass arrives and then defaulting?

Unworkable.

i know and i see your point. but i have emailed the club and gone down official channels with no response let alone anything else. I DO agree fully passholders should get extras, after all as someone said earleir why get one otherwise, but the point is FC could do more for people who arent on 25,000 a year. thats all

The only workable scheme would involved FC teaming up with a credit company, who would then want to make a profit from the scheme, which FC would then get criticised for.

I am one of FC's biggest critics, but there is no way they can make season passes etc. any more accessible than they already do.

then FC block the pass or they can pick up their entry tickets from the shop until the pass is paid for?

no way!!

some people might not realise

so basically your saying people like me are fooked then and its tough. well fc will NOT be getting my cash for a season ticket for many years as i simply dont have disposable cash to splash out on a season pass. my family, bills etc come first so all the time my circumstances are the same, like many many people, there is simply no way i can get one m

0% credit card? (pay it off over 9 months), there are plenty of ways. Unless of course you don't have a credit rating sufficient to get said card, in which case, why should the club see you as a better risk than a credit card company?

Or the savings stamp scheme which is currently run, £20/month will get you a new pass over the course of a year.

2 pints or a packet of fags less a week.

why would i want to get into debt with credit cards? i had them before and paid them off. swore i never would again so what the point in getting one to get in recorded debt again?

as i say i will get the stamps next season for 2011 just wont be buying jack from the shop thats all

How do they block the pass? When you've got thousands of folk going through the turnstiles on matchday, do you really think that the turnstile operators are going to have time to check every voucher to see if it's been banned?

Not sure we have too many Martians posting on here TBH.

well surely they do for forgeries etc or do they just let anyone in with something resembling a pass or ticket?

passholders BBQ, maybe that could link into a protest were we all burn our passes
