| In order to firm up the dates why dont the Club just host it at your Centre of Elite Performance. Big wide open area so loads of space for all of your fans, season tickets or not. Hull hosted some great events up at Brantingham.

What is Stalinist about it?
I suppose you'll be giving up your Boots Advantage card. After all, why be a member of a club when some non-members don't get the benefits you do.
If you had a club that people were members of, would you hand out benefits to non-members? The members might become unhappy and stop being members if there's no benefits for them stumping up in advance.

| Sorry, but season passholders are the lifeblood of the club and I see no reason at all to complain about them being rewarded for their loyalty by getting these sorts of benefits. As far as I know the club have put many signings on at the retail outlets over the past month that anyone can attend, plus open training sessions, so there can be no suggestion the players are not accessible to all fans. This is simply an extra benefit to reward those committing to the club for the next season.

I was not concerned with how the club has arranged this - I appreciate that we have 10000? season pass-holders and although not all will attend it is the only way it can be done. I was more concerned with your reply - You infer that as a season passholder you are a better supporter. A non passholder who attends all home games puts more into the pot than you do if I am not mistaken.

Indeed. Like the passholders family BBQ, you mean?
It might be snowing. I think even the stoopidest troll would realise the KC is a more appropriate venue for a January event for a few hundred supporters like this? Maybe not.

Correct on the last point but I was in no way inferring anything about anyone being a "better supporter". We've had that discussion over and over and Wilf is the better supporter anyway
My point has been made much more eloquently by others, but the point stands. Mr Smith goes to one match and pays £23. Mr Bloggs buys a pass and pays £200+. Why should Mr Smith get the same access to a club "benefit" as Mr Bloggs when he's only paid around a tenth of the amount to the club? Not to mention Mr Jones

BBQ's, 9's event etc. Hull hosted them well at Brantingham. There is plenty of indoor space for a few hundred people at the Elite Performance Centre.
Dont judge everybody by your standards.

Indeed - for passholders and people paying on the gate respectively. Not always a good idea to charge to see players in a non-playing capacity. Reminiscent of the times of charging a fiver to see SL's biggest ever signing train. Only about 10 people turned up for that, IIRC. Oops.
Quote: R.B.A "There is plenty of indoor space for a few hundred people at the Elite Performance Centre.'"
Sorry, was unaware of the function suite space available there. Sounds blooming fantastic. Good to see a development can be executed so quickly though without lots of slipped deadlines.

Ooh, hark at her. Merry Christmas

Wow, the first reply in the thread and it's a moan.
The club have already got my money and I have pledged my support for the season. Like all other season ticket holders I expect something additional than a financial saving over the year.
Especially now I don't get a free cap or a burger.

| Being both a pass holder and non-pass holder in recent seasons, I feel compelled to add something to this argument.
Who gives a sh*t really.....
Roll on the start of the season when we've all got something to complain/cheer about
Season's greetings to you all

| Quote:The Old Faithful will have their annual opportunity to the mix with the first-team in January, when Peter Gentle and co host the Meet the Players fan event.
2012 Season Pass holders will be able to head to the KC Stadium to meet the entire first-team squad and coaching staff who will be on hand to sign autographs and pose for photos.
The event has been scheduled for Saturday 28th January between 1pm – 3pm at the KC Stadium.
Sounds like 1am - 3am would be far more entertaining

Hello you. After 4 years of Agar, I've learned to expect absolutely nothing. Disappointment, therefore, is not an option. Andy Lynch is just a gorgeous bonus.

| Pass holders get up to 4 games free and priority purchase on CC tickets etc. That's enough of a 'benefit' in my eyes.
These events should be available to ALL fans.
What about the guy who can't afford the initial £200 outlay, so instead pays weekly but goes to every game? He puts more into the club, what does he get?

A bigger outlay in money. I couldnt afford a season ticket if I didnt plan for it. To pay each game is paying more.
