Really do disagree with it tbh, but it kinda seems like got no choice if want to 100% secure your East Stand spot again next year, so proably going to end up getting one (wish the shop would answer the fooking phone though



).

Absolutely the reason I got one, I wouldn't bother with the phone, they hardly ever answer, Internet is the way too go.

Ah right, cheers bud.

Any idea what the 31st July date was for? I.e. have I already missed one of the cut-off dates then?

Thats what I thought and the leaflet / pdf file is very ambiguous to say the least, I asked in the shop originally and they said you needed to buy them that week.

I've just rung the shop again and they said the discount has no end period, just that the passes may sell out so not guaranteed your seat / stand of choice. so now not sure if it has an august, sept or no end date....

you've missed the cut off date for discount on season passes.

It was?!

Oh bollox!

So if that's the case does it mean it'll be £220 even with CM? Bit pointless joining then if so.

I might be wrong but iirc that was when Club Rip O, ahem, Club Rovers was open to existing season pass holders only (which is how the club will fend off criticism of Johnny Come Lately's getting existing pass holders seats), after that, anyone could join.

This isn't correct by my understanding.

Passes will be available in three phases.

Phase 1; Existing pass holders who are also Club Rovers members can buy from August 17th. East @£179.
Phase 2. New Season pass holders who are also Club Rovers members can buy from 24th August. East @£179.
Phase 3. Everybody else from 31st August. East @£221.

Ah right, so presumably if I join now at £60 I should still be able to renew East Stand pass for £179 then?

That is definately something that needs addressing, every time i ring, i cant get an answer, i was ringing for 5 1/2 minutes yesterday before giving up.
i know they are busy sometimes but this kind of poor telephone service has been going on for months and needs sorting out, it real gets peoples backs up

2009 season pass holders will have priority purchase on Club Rovers Membership until 31 July 2009. Membership goes on general sale from
1 August 2009.

Full membership
• Season pass frozen at 2008 discount prices for 2010 and 2011*
• Away Derby ticket at 50% discount for 2010 game (limited to first 2500 full members)
• Free season review 2009 book (rrp £10.99) for the next 500 new members (2501 – 3000)

So you will still get your discount, otherwise for non pass holders it would be pointless

The only problem is this

If you join the exciting new membership before 31st July 2009 the club will freeze season pass prices at 2008 prices. The season pass does not have to be paid for yet, but it can only be secured at 2008 season’s price by joining Club Rovers.
A bit ambiguos so i should check first.....if you can get someone to answer the phone

Thats right, if you pay 60 quid you can get a discounted season pass

I'll presume that you were typing at the same time as me, and that's why you've just asked me a question that I've just answered.



Either that or you can't be ar5ed to do [ianything[/i for yourself! What do you want next, for me to come round and make your tea? "Here's your fish fingers Roofs, would you like some tommy splodge with that?"

Thats right "for the next 2 seasons" so I cant understand

a) why Hull fans should be bothered
b) why Rovers fans cant see the benefit over the next 2 seasons

dont really care, just stairing the pot

Careful you don't trip on them, wouldn't want you to scald yourself.

Mmm .... it's not entirely clear that existing season pass holders can get a discounted pass unless they joined the Club before the end of July. Although it does say that Club members who aren't existing pass holders can get a discount pass as long as they join the Club between Aug 1st to 16th.

If you read the literature to-the-letter then, as an existing passholder unless you've joined Club Rovers before then end of July, you won't get a discounted pass.

Is the answer to join Club Rovers now but give a different name to that on your pass. I'm sure that can't be right but that's how the logic seems to work!

As I said earlier, I think they've rushed this through and it might come back to bite them on the behind with bad feeling from long-standing supporters who a) haven't read the small print and/or b) are skint.

Maybe im just thick, but i still dont get it lol

If you buy your membership now ,you will be eligable to renew your pass at £179 from August 17th when phase 1 commences.

but you can only buy a 179 quid pass if u pay 60 quid? if not, what is the next price for a season pass? as i read it there is no discount period at all

AFAIK you are correct. £221 is the flat price of a Well/ East Stand pass (£260 for a seat) if you aren't a Club Rovers member - if there are any left by the time that non-Club Rovers members are allowed to buy.

Re. previous comments - it would seem logical that existing pass holders can get a discount if they join Club Rovers after Aug 1st but the word in the leaflet aren't totally clear on that.

As i understand it
The following format applies to East stand supporters
As an existing passholder. If you become a paid up club Rovers member before 17th August, then you are eligble to renew your pass at last years price which was £179, you can do this from August 17th to August 23rd ( phase 1)

For new passholders they must join up to the membership(£60) before the 24th August when phase 2 comes in, then they also can purchase their passes at last years prices£179.
They can do this from August 24th to september 30th (PHASE 2)

Anyone who buys a pass after 30th August will have to pay the full ticket price which will be £221.For people who do not have the ready funds at present, can pay installments between the begiining of September and January.
This package will apply for the next two years so, if you work out what you will save on this years pass and next years, given the fact that the normal season pass price will have to go up again next year, you will save around £44 over the next two years on passes, however if you take next years proposed nominal fee charge on top, then the savings are not going to be that great. i think the intended nominal fee next year should be scrapped. The above examples apply to East stand passholders, hope this helps.

So.... bear with me cos I'm either having a thick day or this is seriously confusing.....

If I go into the shop on say the 21st of sept I can either pay £221 and buy a pass or

Pay £239 and get my pass and CR membership (with its benefits of shirts discount, frozen pass next year etc....).

If this is correct I may do it that way as paying an extra £18 to secure a cheap(er) pass next year and the other benefits doesn't seem so bad..

so if you buy in phase 2 you dont get a half price derby ticket? and if u buy after phase 2 its 18 quid cheaper (yet no benifits)

I just rang the shop and they said that you still got the discount after the 23rd of August justthat you weren't guaranteed theres any left.... now I'm seriously confused...
