I am surprised That Morgan didn't ask for an Aussie ref

bentham should have had last weeks game vs leeds but was taken ill/injured...

Unbelievable..

Why would they need that, surely the motivation to beat a team in the play-offs, local derby, a desperate need to win at least one against the local rivals is enough....Isn't it!!

Typical HDM, they've printed next weeks article, they are booked in for "never mind, it doesn't matter" sessions, as Club ROvers goes up to £150 pa!

thats Justine for you OVERDRAMATIC

But you save £75 off the season pass price so actually you're saving money!

I hear there are sessions for those with obsessive compulsive disorder if you're interested

It's not difficult to understand though really is it, It cost £60 and it's a £5 renewal this year.

Your pass cost £179 for 2010 and then again for 2011.

So in total with Club Rovers you have payed

179
179
60
5

Plus the added benefits of a half price derby ticket and £10 off the shirt another £21 in savings

Instead of paying

£221
£221
Full pop for your shirt and derby ticket.

Savings I think you'll agree.


And good on Justin, make sure that Bentham knows he granted you easy points through ridiculous penaltys in the last game

We don,t pay £221 though we get the option to get discounted prices upto Dec 31st...When does your discount period end


Also the club provides shirt discount on several occasions including before the season.

I hope its not too noisy in the stadium either or Justines men might not hear the calls...or his instructions..

ha you must be joking james rule has more spin than a dvd!

that is true, but at least his spin is positive and aimed at his own club, instead of throwing toys out of the pram and whining a la Justine.

I've got some magic beans if your interested?

Do the sums, It's worked out at a saving so it's all good

Thanks, I will:
2008 Spend: £179 + £43 shirt + £21 derby ticket = £243
2009 Spend: £179 + £60 Club Rovers + £34 shirt (with £10 off) + £22 derby ticket = £295
2010 Spend: £179 + £5 Club Rovers + £35 shirt (with £10 off) + £12 derby ticket = £231

So your average annual spend since Club Rovers has increased from £243 to (£295 + £231)/2 = £263, an increase of £20, or +8%.

Sorry, what were the "savings" again? I mean the real ones, not some ones made up by your marketeers.

why didnt i have that at work today when i was been told how good club rovers were ?

Thats brilliant, really well done. Now tell us what we would have payed for 2009 and 2010 without Club Rovers and then we can work out the savings we have actually been given and you can also tell us why you've added the cost of a derby ticket on for 2009?

. Here i'll even give you the start with 2009s

2009
Pass = 221
Shirt = 43

2010
Pass = ??
Shirt = ??
Derby Ticket = ??

WOW £179 - £221 thats a big jump

So in simple English pay an additional £42 for your season ticket or buy a CR ticket for £60 and save???? in the future

or

Freeze the cost of season tickets again, who saved real money?

Basically for you laying out £65

You've saved
£42 on 2010 pass
£42 on 2011 pass
£11 quid on your 2010 derby ticket
£10 on your 2010 shirt
£5 in the club shop

£110 - 65 = £45

Might not seem alot of money but it's the price of a shirt that you've saved by joining Club Rovers, value i'd say

Look, you're paying 8% more a year since Club Rovers was introduced. That's real actual cash spend increase year on year. Club Rovers was simply introduced to cushion the blow of a 23.5% increase in pass prices. Marketed pretty well as the poor deluded souls like you think the club's doing them a favour and you're getting a fictional "saving". You're a marketeer's dream.

At FC fortunately our pass prices were frozen in 2009 and went up about £10 IIRC, so an average increase of 2.5% vs 2008.

Wasn't the half price derby ticket only for the first 2500 members?

Good shout, the others got a book that was subsequently given away.

Correct, but as I was in the first 2500 it's all good.

If you like an 8% increase, more than double the rate of inflation, to fund some electronic turnstiles that require manning, it [uis[/u all good. Easily pleased, some people.
