It says 1000 memberships sold, so many of those could be £45 membership cards and not £250 passes. Not knocking the idea, its a good option for people who pay on the day but can't commit to a full pass for work or cost reasons. But it's going to be very hard to compare numbers to previous years sales if they combine the two types of pass.

And ppl have been able to get their season pass from April ( direct debit 12 monthly payments) for nxt season are they included also

I hope that those supporters who love the club rally around it and support it any way they possibly can. After Martin Sadler's tweet this morning I suspect that it's becoming more important than ever. Time to get my passes sorted.

He says

Just spoken to @hullfcofficial Chairman Adam Pearson. My advice to Hull fans is to get your season tickets for next season & fill the ground

then thinks better of it and adds perhaps as an after thought

Don't misinterpret my last tweet. I think it's going to be a great year for @hullfcofficial in 2016. The fans should be very happy.

take it whichever way you wish!

Recruitment for next year has made my mind up and I'll be getting mine on Friday.

hahaha will take more than that to make me fall for that shiiiittteee again ha I wont get fooled again

So you keep telling us over and over and over and over

Cheers, Wilf. For what it's worth, I think Bonaire, Bumpy and Tinkerman are seriuosly sad people. I'll be renewing both mine and my wife's passes as usual. As us Evertonians say "You're in my heart, you're in my soul" Geuss I'm a sucker for lost causes. Great recruitment and a raft of upcoming young uns to go into the melting pot. COYH.

Really? when? I've said I'll be going, just paying on day, I'll be putting more in to Hull Fc then most pass holders, I do France, magic weekend, most away games, buy shirts, I run a couple of cooperate days each season, Ive advertised pitch side boards in past (although not for the last couple of seasons) Just saying im not buying a pass because some idiot as misinterpreted a quote or getting sucked in by Pearsons pleas

Read my last post, then explain you bell

There's no need for personal attacks. Whether buying a pass or not, we all want the best for the club. Hence the reason we post on a fans forum.

I don't believe that a professional business relies on season pass sales to get them through the off season. If that's the case, they need to re look at their budgetting.

However, a commitment to a season ticket can be an indication of how many people are looking to attend fixtures, ultimately allowing an estimation for the income from ticket sales. This then means the club can increase the spending in other areas such as youth development, new signings and the like.
