It won't have raised £300K+ though as children got free membership and concessions were £30 IIRC. Rovers have increased income overall, even though they have yet to achieve the same number of passholders as last year, so yes, it's raised some cash. Don't forget they are paying someone to run the scheme though, plus the cost of 2,500 books to give away,plus £25,000 bill to pay in July for the discount on the FC derby tickets...I'm sure the money's put aside for that, though, and not for installing electronic turnstiles.

Still, needs must - you're right. An extra £300k will stop the gap for the next month or so.'"
It is impossible to evaluate the long term costs to the club or the feelings of the fans, but it is clear that they will have at least 5000 season ticket holders for the next 2 seasons if fans want to cash in on their small initial investment.
Personally i couldn't care less about the whys and wherefores of the scheme as i have not paid to see either team in years but despite Mrs B ramblings it seems the folk of east hull have embraced the scheme wholeheartedly and backed their club with their hard earned readies.
Don't see what the problem is really  |

Great, let's hope they've all received their shop discount vouchers. The offer included in the membership fee expires on Wednesday.

Couldn't agree more, which is why I've said it should only happen if it's free or the cost is nominal. It's about a long term relationship with the club.
Interesting that the dobbins have got people to couch up £60 and feel good about it though.

Has it? How many of the 5000 are children? Don't they get in for free?

This is Poorhouse Lane. And this is Neil, the rovers supporter who leads an exciting double life. For when Neil sponsors RLFANS an amazing transformation occurs. [color=#80BF40:1y1okols]Neil is Cabbageman[/color:1y1okols]. Ever alert for the call no injury too small!

Yeah TBF i forgot about the free child places.
Even so like you said Rovers have got people to part with £60 and feel good about it. Mrs B seems to constantly rubbish it and she is indeed getting a little bit boring now, but i don't see what there is to argue about  |

truthfully how many looking at scheme will actually feel good about it. What people say and how they feel are different.They may understand the reasons for doing this but to say they feel good about paying an extra £60 is imo spin doctoring of the highest degree.
