If I were in charge I'd re-open season pass discounts until Feb 4th. We can't afford this squad on the passes we have and this is a rare one-off opportunity to capitalise on some pre season feelgood/momentum Some would be annoyed but from a big picture perspective I'd go balls out in the next fortnight to push this.

That's a great idea I hope someone at the Club is thinking along those lines. We could make it more attractive by getting Big Frank to deliver the pass personally!

But if we continue to play like that people will turn up week after week anyway. Whether they have a pass or not.

What is better? Another couple of thousand pass holders or another couple of thousand paying full price every time?

Not saying it's a bad idea but for me if the team keep playing like that then the crowds will follow.

No brainer for me. Pass holders have a commitment for the season and you get the lump sum upfront. You rely on non passholders to make 10 (or whatever the cash equivalent is) separate transactions to get the same cash in the future with the unsatisfactory ticketing arrangements we have in place. At a guess passholders have a greater propensity to buy merchandise over a season too with shirt discounts etc.

Understand what you are saying BUT if the team continue to play like that then non passholders will continue to attend week after week. I know I will.

And don't necessarily agree about the merchandise bit. They have so many sales these days non passholders will still spend plenty in the shop. In fact I very rarely see someone getting discount in the shop with their pass.

Maybe season pass related?

#hullfc fans, we've some significant news going online this evening. Keep an eye out on our website later.

Not got mine yet. Was going tomorrow. Be great if discount reintroduced tonight - it's a no-brainer that people will have their interest rekindled after today. Those waverers need to be hauled in this week, and will be with an additional incentive.

smith?

Could be, certainly a heavy hint in Radford's post match press conference.

It's Minichiello in talks to extend his contract, great news.

The problem now is less people will turn up on the day.
1. Its dearer than if bought earlier
2. Its a pain in the butt not just been able to go to a turnstile with your money.

As I've said previously it appears they don't want your custom (Victor Meldrew mode)

Yeah i know and i hate the current situation with the SMC and tickets.

It would have put me off in the past.

But if the team continue to play like that i would find a way to buy a ticket a few days before a game.

Maybe it's just me but for this season i am taking the wait and see option rather than commit up front.

Are they still selling passes? no-one answered the phone today when my Mrs rang to buy one

Yeah - it's a bit of a lottery. Took me three or four attempts before I managed to buy mine. Not too clever really.

Good move, not often we have a window of opportunity to capitalise on a little optimism.

If we shift another 300-500 passes by Friday that would be great

Get yourselves a membership you fence sitters !!!! Its gonna be a GREAT ride, thats what Frank said last night. He's not just aiming for top 4, he believes this side is up for winning at least one of the 2 biggies.

I second that, I love hull fc, i have old faithful tattooed on my arm in massive letters (with loads of medieval stuff around it but that's another story

) and i love rugby league. I go down there to watch the sport that i love and losing occasionally is all part of it. I don't get how a little bad run can change peoples opinions about supporting the team they apparently love!

A little bad run! I dont blame anyone for not wanting to through the shiiiiitte thats been dished up the last few seasons, its been god dam awful. People dont mind losing , but the entertainment factor as been non exsistant . The signs look promising this season for better rugby, regardless of results, thats all I want, to be entertained, excited to watch my team

due to family reasons, it will be the first time in 20 years I don't get a pass.

Armchair Offy this year

Are you still going next Friday?

Whats the latest on pass sales?

Around 6000

At this rate you will be reintroducing the 12K challenge
