The confusing thing is you don't know what the benefits are "worth". Let's say 2010 passes are only £5 more than the frozen price. Wouldn't you then be paying £60 out now to save:

£5 on your pass in September
£10 max on your shirts in December
£10 on a derby ticket next July

or have I missed something? How can you judge the value of the £60 unless you know what you're going to save compared to not joining?

whats the point in the membership then?? seems like rovers board are trying to get extra cash in the bank because they cannot attract large gates, £60 for afew gimmicks is abit steep in my opinon, if you was to become a member you should get a free shirt for starters not just a poxy £5 off at the "superstore"...

Hudgell isn't stupid. He wouldn't offer the membership unless he is going to be making money from it.

Or maybe he just wants the money up front, to pay for the East stand extension?

Taking to someone on Sunday, who says East Stand passes up to £215! -£36 increase alledgedly.

There you go then, in that case you spend £60 now and save:

£36 in September on passes
£10 in December on shirts, if you can afford the 80 odd quid for both
£10 next July on the derby

Total savings of £56 . You can then weigh this £4 difference up against the extras of unspecified meet-and-greets with the players and the Rovers tv that only members get access to. Main problem is you don't get payback for a whole year.

I'd be surprised if season pass prices for everyone else went up as much as that, though, in the current economic climate - 20% would be a massive increase. £215 is more than we pay at the KC and we get until the end of December to pay. Admittedly, paying the same to watch Rovers would be better value from a rugby perspective.

I take it you won't be joining then? It's really pleasing to see many non-Rovers fans paying particular interest in this scheme, weighing up the pros and cons before deciding whether its for them or not!

Or perhaps a way of financing the East Stand extension. I'm probably wrong, as its clear humbugs know the ins & outs of the Rovers balance sheet far better than anyone connected to my club!

Where does it say that? If it's true that there's a +24% increase in the season ticket price unless you sign up for the membership scheme, surely that should be communicated. BTW, we hear endlessly that Rovers consult their fans on all important matters - strange that this major initiative seems to be news to all.

You were all peddling the same rubbish last year/earlier this year.
Its as now as it was then.
