It appears the £60 outlay has been recouped already by some Rovers fans.
Win Win situation springs to mind given the comments from our other forum.

=#0000FFI've had a peep at the Dell site and the laptop I'm after starts at £50 less than any Dell offer I've seen so far.
That's another £58 towards my £60 membership fee
I reckon I'm well up on the deal already!
And there's the bonus of commission for Rovers as well

Works out ok for me too with a programme and DVD for each home match. I miss half of the season due to work.

Been taking spin lessons have you Rob

Got a tenner off my home shirt yesterday so Club Rovers already paying dividends

(still can't register the b*****d though



).

No need to spin anything out on this the facts are plain to see.
For the initial outlay people will recoup it back and more.

Indeed they are.
For someone in the West Stand in 2009, they paid out £210 for a pass.
For someone in the West Stand in 2010 they pay either £260 or £270 (£210 + £60). To "recoup" this money involves them giving Rovers another £45 for a shirt, spending hundreds on a laptop or spending £12,000 online with Next.

The fact you're after a Dell speaks volumes.

Well i buy home and away shirts every season and as the kids were free membership have £30 back already.I do not feel like i am giving rovers money when i buy merchandise i am buying it because i support the club.

You cannot wink you way out of this one.
As its biggest critic you are being proved totally wrong about the benefits involved.
Season Passes prices had been frozen for previous seasons.
Shirt sales are common place at every club every season so whats different to a fan of another club buying the new shirt so bring that into the equation is spin on your part, surprise suprise.
Already it is proving its worth and for those who use a Free Club Rovers card as Junior's didnt pay £60 it increases the benefits even more.

Get a life,you really are boring

The fact im not and never said i was speaks volumes about how much of a numpty you actually are.

I'm not its biggest critic. From the club's point of view it's a good way of getting £60 extra per adult vs last year and to get the cash in the bank 5 months before any benefits accrue.

So what?

I don't know what you're getting at. What I am saying is that you only get a £10 shirt benefit if you give Rovers more cash.


I agree the Juniors get a shirt benefit for nothing, which is a good thing, but they can't get any Teamcard benefits themselves

Oh i forgot i got kids season passes for £40 each instead of £50 another £20 quid saved thats £50 now will get them for £40 each for the next 2 seasons thats another £20 quid that makes £70 quid now i'm no accountant but i think i am up on the deal

Is there any differnence in shirt prices from last year?

or hasnt anyone been able to buy one because of the tills

Last year:
Season pass standing £179
2 shirts * £43 £86
2 Kids passes * £40 £80
TOTAL £345

This year:
Club Rovers pass £60
Season pass standing £179
2 shirts * £35 £70
2 kids passes * £40 £80
TOTAL £389

Over a 1000 sold on the launch weekend.
Try harder Karl please.

So they are £10 more expensive than most clubs unless you pay to join club rovers which will then allow you to pay the same as other clubs.... sounds a bargain.

For somebody who claims to make a living from numbers i will make it simple for you.
People laid out £60
People will recoup benefits totalling more then £60.

by spending an extra £300-£400 at least if you having to lay out on computers etc when you could just use discount sites and get voucher codes to do the same.

What if they never buy a replica shirt or attend the KC derby, like my red and white father-in-law? He's £60 worse off supporting Rovers this year vs last year.

Now your just being silly he could easily get it back saving whilst buying an Atari 2600 or box set of fawlty towers on betamax on credit card

Blimey, any more backpedalling on this thread and RLFans will travel back in time.

Maybe this is what the FC fans want?

You were much funnier on Friday night when you were a team captain on Have I Got News For You
