Fact remains 5000 fans simply had to part with the cash or not risk getting in the East Stand.

Not one person I have spoken to is "happy" at having to part with £60

Its a scam and if anyones signed upto it they have either got too much money or are thicker than an 150 year old oak tree.

Paying 60 quid just to have a flimsy card in your ar5e pocket to get a 10er off a shirt, discounted derby ticket, 20p off a big mac or whatever.

Whatever next? these clubs get a fair chunk of salary cash thrown at them already from sky, if these people want to be the big i am at runnin sports clubs and claim ownership then they should stump up the cash themselves otherwise you may as well let any old soul run it.

As for hull taking up the scheme, well in my eyes id like to consider myself already a loyal fan after the crap ive had to put up with on the pitch served up by shocking so called personnel describing themselves as super league players and coaches these past 3 years. I have a RESERVED seat since day one in the KC and i would be extremely miffed if that was taken from me because of some jumped up money makin scheme that gives no real benefits to an already loyal suppoter of 36 years.

Nobody is ever 'happy' at parting with cash if they don't feel they need to. But the fact remains they have and if it secures them their place in the east stand all well and good, as there are further savings to be had in the long term, that is also fact.

This has just decended into the usual tribal, chest beating Hull v Rovers nonsense and i cannot take some people seriously in all honesty.

Have fun

So you lost this one then, Gordon?

good post mate

I think there are two separate schemes being discussed here.

1)A club scheme like Rovers have introduced where you pay a fee and get some "benefits" (season pass price, £10 off a shirt etc).

2) A loyalty scheme where you get a "clubcard" for free and then get points added on for, say, buying a pass, spending money in the shop, is different as it probably wouldn't involve getting season passholder benefits of, say, priority on CC tickets.

As an ongoing passholder, I already get the type of benefits in 1, but could see the benefits of 2. The problem with 1 is you get 2 tiers of season passholders, which is unnecessarily complex IMO.

I'm delighted with my £60 membership.





The comparison with the Broncos membership - theirs will be an annual fee, rather than a initial payment, then 'nominal' renewal fees, won't it? Also, although the free bus/rail travel is good, it isn't much use from Paragon.

Lost what??

5000+ members speaks for itself.

Don't tell me you wouldn't join if Hull had run a scheme like this because you'd be lying

having read most of this topic i can't see fc doing one of these schemes, mainly because

we are a profit making club
we have enough seats to cover our average fan base

we have had 2 poor seasons now, can you really see rule coming out with something like this??

this scheme reminds me of Ratners. all shiny andlovely on the outside, but worthless and a complete rip off when you buy

I've added another reason



Believe me if Kath thought she could bleed anymore cash out of you she would.

think you're starting to show your true colours now

I can't wait to see some of the posts off you lot WHEN it happens.

I just woulden't join, simple as that

so someone may take my reserved seat...I'll simply go sit in the other 10,000 spare seats.

there simply isn't the same threat of 'don't pay, lose your seat' like there is at small grounds like craven park.

I wouldn't.

And feel free to save this post in case FC ever do come up with the same scheme as Rovers have.

Exactly. Which is why FC would have to come up with something different if they want a membership scheme that will work.

how about a clubcard for the club shop?

You really ought to try and get over yourself once in a while. Just for the sake of variety, like.

Well if it's a scheme that forces us to put £60 down 7 months before the next season starts, then sign up for passes 6 months before the season starts, you'll have to wait until next year. As it is, we normally get until 31st December to sign up for passes at the discounted rate, ie 6 weeks before the season starts rather than 6 months.

a couple of years ago they might have got away with doing a 'platinum' or 'gold' season ticket which allowed you cup and playoff tickets before anyone else. But the queues hardly circle the stadium for floodlit 9's tickets!

Lost the argument. It's Ok quoting "5000" in every post but the fact remains that most of those have been browbeaten into this because of the limited size of Caravan Park.

And that majority are not happy Club members - in fact the resentful chuntering has started already.

And no, I wouldn't join a scheme "like this", ie the Rovers one, because it's a rip-off with a milk-skin thin veneer on top.

I may consider joining a Hull FC scheme depending the terms of the scheme and the benefits to me. But if that involved being blackmailed into parting with money to keep my seat, then I would be wondering why I'm loyal to a club that wants to rip me off and shoves 2 fingers up at the commitment and thousands of pounds I've already poured into their coffers over the last 30 years.

But you obviously know me more than I know myself - what a liar I am!

Spot on.

Quite correct.

Instead of coming clean and saying "bugger me, we're skint, giz some dosh guys", they PAY a bunch of marketeers (I do wonder if there may just be some directorial connection), to come up with a plan that basically updates DAZ & OMO coupons and the fans' pay for the privilege.

freebie Juniors and school children that wont even want a pass.surely they would off spouted the 5,000 season passes sold if this was not the case. They are quoting these figures to worry those fans that have not bought mug rovers cards yet. But then why would they worry when on the biggest day in the last 25yr of their history they could still pay on the gate for ALL stands

Me too!



I just love supporting my team in as many ways as I can. If I can afford it, I will. When I can't, I won't.

Reeeaaaally simples.
