| Quote: DSJ1983 "That was my first thought. It’s great for the club if people want to commit 3 years and it’s absolutely no risk to them to offer it. If they were that desperate to generate cash to pay the bills or whatever I’d imagine theres better ways.'"
Completely agree it's great if people want to commit for three years and show a belief in the club, as some of us feed direct debits monthly and with the caveat of potential personal disasters will do so till the day we die, we owe that to the club that has been part of our lives since we could first walk. Not everyone's like that but well done to anyone who takes this offer up. It's sold to us as an advantage to fan's as we take it out and it is I guess an inflation busting offer, in a period when it looks like everything else in our lives will be going up. From that point of view I agree and welcome it.
However, I guess I understand the caution too. Many followers of sport across the board have seen it all before and I think it's worth considering that many, many clubs in different sports have used this tactic to accrue much needed income at a time of strain on their business. If the business and the team improve its worth it and a calculated risk to get over the hump, but its hardly a way to guard against unforeseen problems at the Club in the future, particularly with a long long way back for the team, a new Stadium lease imminent, a diminishing of central funding and harder economic times for our sponsors. All those things could impact on the clubs trading account. If we knew there was investment going forward and indeed we aren't short of cash, all that concern would melt away. Winter is a hard period for clubs and right back to Kath's days I know we have at time borrowed or used Directors 'reserves' to get through the period without any games.
Lastly though I also worry about the fact that we still hear nothing about that investment/ownership etc going forward that vacuum whilst it exists will always make folks wary of any such 'get rich quick' schemes at the club and not see them for what they likely are, just the club trying to engage fans and give them an incentive to support Hull FC going forward. As I always say until we know the position of the club financially going forward we can only guess, speculate and as is always the case on here, with some, wring our hands and doom monger!
All that said it's all pretty academic because in reality I can't see that many taking up the offer myself, but well done to those who do.

Hopefully a couple more signings, including a statement domestic signing.

| The practucal problem with a 3 year pass is you have no idea what structure SL will dream up next, it'll probably be IMG binned, relegation back, playlffs to be 9 a side teams with a club call. Loop games to be played in the road in Narnia

Wilf Will no for sure. I seem to remember the Richardson regime agreed to honour them. Not sure how many we’re taken up, I gave it serious consideration.

| My take on the membership/renewal pack etc is that currently for many fans out there are simply too many questions that remain unanswered.
I'm not convinced like some that there will be large numbers who will rush in to the decision to renew, I honestly think it will be a very hard sell for the club at present.
It seems an odd time to release the membership packs when there has been very little info on what is happening financially with the club in regards to any possible investment, the covid loan repayment, Pearsons position along with what if any further additions will be made to the ahead of next season.
I will no doubt renew despite my better judgement, just out of habit more than anything. There will be many that will be or have been re evaluating what's important both as a lifestyle choice and financially.
It's good to see the club have frozen the price for renewals but think it should have been across the board for anyone renewing after the latest and most disastrous season. To only offer that to people in a position to be able to pay up front and by November is poor and another example of the club misreading the depth of feeling amongst the fans and the disconnection.
The offer of a 3 year pass is a bit of a red herring and could read as the club trying to get a little more income in for some fans in return for a set price regardless of any cost increases for 2026 & 2027, personally can't see there being much of an uptake on that based on where we currently are. However some may read in to the offer of a 3 year pass deal as a bit of desperation & the club needing a bigger cash injection etc.
These are all things that will in my mind contribute to so many conflicting/unsettling matters when it comes to people parting with their hard earned cash.
Lets be honest its not our first rodeo as fans in being let down rather magnificently by the club after failing to deliver on promises made.
Will we now start to get some answers or are all the questions currently up in the air be addressed around the time of the forum that was announced recently?

Cust is one. Remember this time last year when AP said something about 6 new signings coming in even though we’d only made 5 or whatever and everyone was trying to guess who it could be? it ended up being Diakhate who’d already spent the previous season in the reserves. I’d always take any claims at season ticket time with a pinch of salt, I expect all clubs do it.

I don't think it'll get huge take up tbh largely because its a big outlay.'"
you would have to be an idiot to take up that offer
