I just got the email about renewal, our East stand membership has increased to £317 from £280 last year. From the noises at the club I had expected an increase and its above inflation.

I'm ok with that but still upset that a so called family club signed Jay Okunbur, add in another end of season capitulation and for the first time we are really considering if we should renew. I don't want to hurt the club financially but I don't think they get the message that in any kind of weather has its limits!

I make to be a 13% increase in the East Stand, which for me is at the top end of being acceptable.

I do have an issue with loop games, the 'free' games on the pass are often pointless like Hudds 2nd time this year but at least it seems the extra games will be Rovers and Leeds this time.

Pearson's words were "it would be nice to get the same membership numbers" so I think they have budgeted for less, which is maybe why they have increased the prices.

I think the increase is probably larger than previous increases due to the price freeze the club set following the lockdown.

Think it was going to be a struggle for the club to hit the same member numbers for 2024 based on the performances during 2023 and the almost inevitable capitulation in the last quarter of the season after the Wigan defeat. Its going to be an even tougher task with a 13% increase and the lack what fans would perceive as a genuine star/game changing player.

Hopefully now the membership info is coming out the club will pull a rabbit out the hat for the last quota signing.

There's a bit of pressure on side for the 2024 Season imo ,The team needs to get off to a decent start . A winning side brings many benefits .

Absolutely, if we get to Easter (which is early next year) and things arent going up a gear then negativity will creep in. Id also expect their to be an early derby as there will be 3 of them so that will add some pressure.

Just paid for my 2024 membership. For the South Stand it was £306, IIRC in 2023 it was £270.

Jesus, I'm aware it's meant to be sentimental old bollox but the membership videos bring a lump to the throat.
Silly old tw*t.
I'll just blame it on age........

I think it's pretty impressive that your post count is currently 12345

As mentioned FC it's engrained in you. You can't stop it. You put so much effort in to supporting them for sometimes very little return. But that's what supporters do. Then we have our days in the sun and it's all worth while.Supporters eh

I concur.

Ah it was short-lived!

Time waits for no man.

Comparative prices according to Hull Live

That price is for the North stand corner which wont suit everyone, I much prefer watching RL down the side. But its a competitive price and surely some South standers would be tempted to move

Home and away shirts both to be revealed on Friday

Think the home shirt will be black and white

What have we said about this wild speculation!

Home is black with a white V I’d heard

Monthly rate in the South Stand has gone up by £3.50, not too bad really, unlike my gym membership which has rocketed.

Both shirts and training gear on the same day must be to bring as much cash in as possible. On the next sunny day ill have a day out in Hull with the wife and blow some money in the club shop always an excuse to visit the Old Town, Humber Street and Marina, any other must sees whilst I am town?

I've noticed that some of the posts from the club have gold on them

Which would make sense given it was traditional this year. Poss with some gold flashes as the clubs comms have gold on them.

Just don't get 'loop games are meaningless' brigade.

Last time I looked they all carried 2 points, agree it is far from ideal but the club need the fixtures.

Knock 3 home games off & the season would be VERY short. Clubs don't want 2 more clubs to further dilute the TV revenue. Little interest in bringing back Yorkshire or John Player type tournaments . Personally I would bring SL teams into the cup much earlier but at best that would add a couple of games - likely with weakened teams & shared revenue.

Its the reptetition thats the issue, we seem to have played Cas repeatedly over the last 5 years. And theres some unfairness in how competitve the draw is and how attractive the games are. For example next year we are lucky with crowd pulling games against Rovers and Leeds, in 2022 we had Toulouse twice with a poor crowd for the 2nd one

Have a quick look down Paragon Arcade between Paragon Street and Carr Lane. Smart down there now with independent shops, cafes and street food type places.
