Mine’s gone from £19 to £20 but I’m a pensioner

It was actually a lifetime pass.

I stand corrected , Did the club bin it off as I seem to remember some fans complaining about it .

Cust not in the new memberships propaganda so he's one of the last pieces

It's like a 1000 piece jigsaw but we only have 600 of the pieces

and as someone brilliantly said on here and now we seem to have lost the box with the picture on it!!

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

Who and what are those final pieces though?!

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.

you would have to be an idiot to take up that offer

It will just be fudge
They are hardly likely to allow any soul-searching questions to either Pearson or Myler

I've no problem with the three year membership. I wouldn't do it myself even though I'll still be going for three years (all being well). It's a bit too much of an outlay for me.

If people can afford it and want to do it that's up to them. It doesn't make them "an idiot".

well I have a pretty good idea but as I remember it facts are a bit sketchy, 3 days after the merger was confirmed we all went to the Charleston Club to hear from two of the Gateshead Directors about the future of the club in my diary I wrote that they definitely mentioned a life time pass for supporters maybe being on the cards but the club back then had to raise some cash quickly. The first day of sales of season tickets was brought forward and around £100,000 worth were sold in the first two days. However it was not all plain sailing as on the Stock Exchange KC shares started to lose value and in Hull, Shane Richardson had to move quickly to quash rumours that the Club was being liquidated.

This was November and was just another rumour borne out of the fact that the first instalment of the £1.25m merger sweetener from the Rugby League would not be forthcoming until 1st January so cash flow was a problem. Again I think there Richo mentioned the lifetime pass as possibly a way of raising some much needed cash flow. As it happened we at the City Council came to the rescue with an advance on the sale of the Stadium and Willie Peters, our talented Australian Scrum Half, was sold to Wigan for an unlikely £100,000 (see I told you he was once useful ) The only other thing I think I remember was Rule alluding to any such passes being rescinded at a fans forum at the start of his 'rule' of terror. I'd be really interested to know if anyone on here bought one or any more information about them.
