When I said after last weeks debacle at Huddersfield that I would be getting my money back from my season pass, it was MY protest at what had unfolded over the past season. I didn't say that I would'nt be going again. I probably will go to most home games and be selective, if I do go to all the home games then I will be out of pocket by £40 and the club better off by that same £40, so in effect I'm cutting of my nose to spite my face, isn't that what protests are about?

Just can't bring myself to renew mine at this moment in time. I may feel different in a few weeks and I hope I do. It hurts me(like it does thousands of others) to see my club in a mess once again and if rumours are true about player power rearing it's ugly head once again then the club is even more of a shambles then what I'm fearing.

When will that be ?

I don't see anyone stating they will stop supporting the club, in fact most are saying they will still go to the games of "THEIR" choice.
What people are saying is that they will not be renewing their passes. This however leads to fans straying away from the club.

EG
Hull V Wigan, friday night also live on sky. Been a rough week money wise, so they decide it is a much better option to watch at home.
Hull V Warrington, friday night, also on sky. Freezing cold and nice and cosy in the house, they decide they might as well watch in the warmth.


Season passes are the lifeblood of clubs and although they drop when the team is not performing too well season on season they don't drop anywhere near as much as they do when the people in charge make a decision that a fair percentage seem to be against.


If it works out and it becomes successful then the supporters will come back in droves, however if it fails spectacularly those supporters will drift further and further away and that habit of going is lost.

Good post.

Now is the time to remind you all, passes went up agai this year.

Value for money eh!

Just think next season £24 a game to watch........

I do think there should be a loyalty where you get say 50 quid of a pass if u renew it. I don't mean discount period too.

Agree, reward loyalty, currently no difference from old passholder to new passholder

I can see people's viewpoint that with all the offers we give out a non passholder will pay about as much as a passholder.

Thanks for that little outburst.

Backed the club for nearly 40 years which is more than 2 of our rumoured new coaching team who walked out on deals with our club.

Radders i can just about accept but to bring Judas back in some capacity will cost the club a hell of a lot in lost revenue.

Looks like the only game i will be going to next season will be Sir Richard Whiting's testimonial.

We have had far worse teams and far harder times than this in the 40 years you claim to have been 'backing' the club. Did you turn your back on the club in those hard times as well??

Maybe started following FC in the 60s and missed a few years due to poor form.

No passes in this family and my thoughts where I would see how the first 5 games (excluding Sky) were going but I like your idea very much. See you against Saints

I'll renew for 2014 even though I am sorry to see Gentle go, especially if his dismissal was due to player power.

If, in twelve months time, the players have once again decided they don't want to play for the coach I definitely won't be renewing again. The club can't keep "rebuilding" every five minutes and if players can't be bothered to play I can't be bothered to watch them .

And people say that Rovers fans live in the past...

very wise

right with you brother well said

my god man are you my long lost twin?

Pity they aren't doing the Super 7 pass that they did a few years ago... still saves a few quid!!! Maybe AP should offer this sort of deal to prove the doubters ( me ) wrong... And I would be over the moon to be wrong!!!

As someone who wanted Cooke sacked before he left I won't be happy if he's involved with the new coaching setup. Won't stop me supporting the club though.

You do realise it is now 2013 and 40 years ago it was 1973?

I said nearly 40 years because my dad first took me in 1975 when I was 11.

Late 80's and early 90's I followed the team home and away when we couldn't buy a win but I saw players give everything for the team and club. I did the same.

Not now. Too many of the current team showed their lack of commitment last Thursday. Give them Judas as a p/t coach and I will be saving my money.

Sounds very similar to where I am right now, a KR fan as head coach and Judas as a p/t coach, no thanks.

As someone who also wanted rid I'm quite surprised that I'm far less bothered about the possibility of Cooke playing a bit part role than I am about Radford being head coach.

The wife is a huge FC fan and has been since she was 12 but even she is seriously considering not renewing if the expected happens tomorrow and Radford is named head coach. The way this has all happened is leaving a very bitter taste in the mouth.

also been going since i was 12( 78/79)season under king arthur and i feel betrayed by adam if cook is involved at FC and as for our defensive coach (radford) this saeson what score was it last week total disgrace. ps plz adam go ask kear if he fancies another bash at it,he only said a few weeks ago that he would love to work for you

Not having a dig but why Kear? + Imo our defence has won us many games this season, last week wasn't down to lack of ability too me it looked like a lack of effort & interest. My main concern with Radford would be who is coaching the attacking side?
