How much are the direct debits actually going up by?

Had my lettter from Richie in this mornings post and he's saying '' Another couple of big pieces of the jigsaw still to come and a new head of performance to be announced too.

Need to learn some lessons from other clubs, after this season no ticket prices should go up. The club is so out if touch with the fans, thought this might change with Myler, but this hasn't been seen yet. Hope the fans forum is an honest event, but I don't it will be.

I think we need a new CEO, one that connect with the fans. Pearson isn't that man, too many false promises.

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.

I think the club did a 10 year pass offer in the last days of the Boulevard .

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.
