Although I don`t have a pass I will still be attending the matches,so does it make much difference if others are doing the same?

I know a few passholders who did not renew this year but will attend when possible. Over 8k is a good effort in the current climate and it was a decent effort from a marketing point of view.

The next step is to attract the fans through the turnstiles by performances on the pitch...

He must be for you to comment

pass sales have been good i think for the current econemy
i didnt have the money to get 1 this year during the discount period and its simply not worth buying 1 now its more expensive then just paying for 13 home games

There's an interesting comment in this months Rugby League World that clubs are setting themselves up to fail with publicly stated pass sales targets, and they quoted the way that Salford increased their crowd by 10% last year, but as they'd announced they wanted 8K on average, it was seen as a failure.

They've lost all of their best players, can't even field a team for a friendly and are on the verge of going pop. I'd say a 10% increase in crowds was a failure

Live out of town so collecting ours tomorrow; they're for collection at the reception bit adjacent to the shop, bring ID.

What the article meant was, the negativity had already started before last season had even started, when they could have used the 'record pass sales' hype to grow crowds further...still wouldn't have been enough to 'save' them IMO, that club has had problems for years, and would be in trouble regardless of staying at the Willows or getting a new ground.

Not really, just having a flick through and thought of the irony in his post. You on the other hand think Im important to reply to.

Have you let the council know your shutting Saville street down for your collection? big events should be acknowledged.

When can you collect a pass on the direct debit scheme? The last direct debit goes out on the 29th so it's a bit last minute especially if our first game was at home

The shop at the KC, you weird-faced numpty.



Big events like a £15m investment [ushould[/u be acknowledged but unfortunately it's off limits for discussion now on all Rovers forums, so must be happening.

I hope these passes work, scanning wise. Bit old fashioned, but the paper vouchers worked fine IMO.

Nice little jump over the weekend!

Hope there is another nice little jump after the rovers game also, Since more people will be attending that game than was at the testimonial.

If we get a good victory over Leeds in our first game it could well spur a few more to take the plunge and buy a pass before the 1st home game.
My brother never renewed because he just could not afford one this season, but he will still go to a fair few games. I am sure there are also plenty who are feeling the pinch financially who will do similar.

Is there a list of the challenge 10K winners anywhere? The first couple of draws got a bit of coverage but I didn't really see much after that. I'm assuming I would have heard if I'd won anything, like.

Biggest jump we've seen for a while, and no doubt due to the increased hype in preparation for the start of the season.

should see another jump next weekend with a big crowd for the Rovers friendly.

Me weird faced? Your pass will have your avatar picture as proof of identity. Good luck with that one.

Your avatar has a weird face. Good luck with what?

Last 3 have been won by a mrs mcrae, a mrs gentle and a mrs pearson (not really)

Hopefully will get over the 8500 mark

No updates for several days now (assume that is just a lack of website updating not that our loss on Sunday has ground sales to a halt!) but interesting to read in the HDM that Rovers sales are 20% down on last year, which will cost them £300K revenue.

in comparison our sales appear to be 10% down (the official 2012 figure was never published but assumed to be 9200-9300 ish) so even though we won't meet the 10K target, we haven't done all that badly.

Lets hope a win at Leeds encourages some late comers to get a pass!

any one know when passes can be collected for those who bought on the debit scheme (4 payments)

No surprise. Cash is tight for many families in Hull

I agree with you matey "food on the table or rugby "Rugby come second .A lot of Hull fans have stated they will pick games because money is tight.Even the friendly I gave at spare ticket to somebody that was short of money
