| Quote ="Fc Til I Die 316"which we, as the buyers, would pick up. Listen the point is there are options and i, for one, would not mind paying extra to get one as so that the club can give the directors more yatchs and houses...i dont really care. I just want them to realise the potential of further options thats all'"
Wouldn't it be much easier for the club to throw the occassional player event where you can just buy tickets?
Either that or maybe have some sort of loyalty card (for a fee) that gives you entrance to passholder events, discount at the shop and 2nd level priority for cup tickets (next in line behind passholders).
Personally I don't have a problem with passholders getting special treatment. They provide guaranteed revenue to the club at the start of every season.

| I've got loads of ideas for both fan appreciation and also bringing in new/occassional fans (mostly half-inched from the numberous Torotno-based sports franchises I frequent).
You wouldn't believe how popular the $1 hot dog nights are here. I went to the last one and I'd say it almost doubled the attendance. They had reduced ticket prices also by a few dollars, but the amount of extra seats sold and all the extra food/drink sold will have far outweighed that small discount.
Hopefully then the product on the field is enough to entice a few back. I appreciate that now may not be the right time for FC to put on something like this given the dire stuff we've been churning out. I also appreciate that the quality of the food would have to improve to make it appealing.
Giveaway games are also popular (hats, bags, t-shirts, bobbleheads) and the costs can be covered (or shared) through having the items provided by sponsors.

Also said to try to do more things for kids, pictures to print out ond colour in, and other things on the website.
Silly ideas but ideas all the same, generate interest is the main thing. Especially for kids as they are the future supporters!

| Quote ="Fc Til I Die 316"I hear your point but if i did do the stamps thing it would take me a season to get it paid for as well as paying each match. if i missed every match i could do the stamp thing but money is tight now so i cant do both. i am struggling financially so wont be buying much from the shop next year if anything. Just a bit gutted thats all. Its like they like you more the more money you put in, which is fine, but all they hear about is how many season passes are sold. they dont hear about people like me who arranged a coach for wembley last year to get loads of people, who would not have gone otherwise, to go. that increased merchandise etc so even tho i put in as much as i can afford i still promote fc at work and make them money...ah well. i know what they will say anyway. "Hull Fc appreciate your views...thankyou for contacting Hull FC" end of

| Quote ="Fc Til I Die 316"as i say paying a few quid for a badge or a tenner for a scarf is far easier than 100's of pounds in one go for a pass
i am simply saying thats all. to the passholders i hope its good and i sincerely understand why the club does it and i dont disagree with you getting extras. but my point is they do very little for average fans like myself'"
i've moaned about the club for months
but i feel I have to defend them a bit really, they are a sports club/business not a social enterprise. We already get things like a free highlights of all the games on HullFCTV, this BBQ, Rule goes on the radio, signing sessions, they do loads of community work in schools...
not sure what else you want from them really
personally all that matters to me is a good team on the pitch

| Quote ="Fc Til I Die 316"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'"
Standee was suggesting opening a card with a 0% offer such as Marks and Spencer, Tesco and some others. So you'd be able to spread the payments over the 9/12months and it woulden't cost you anymore. You'd just have to be strong willed and only use it for your pass and nothing else after that.
and he was also right that the club can't win if they start giving finance, if they don't chase people they get left with the cost, but if they employ a company to do so they'd be criticized for 'sending the bailiffs round' they are best just avoiding the whole scenario IMO

This doesnt make sense. if u go to all games why not buy a pass and save money. i buy the saver stamps at 20 quid a month and it buys mine and two kids passes. saves shellin out 300 quid in one go
