Hissy fit? last time i heard one of them was when you were commentating on websters try against wire.

I'm commenting on it because this is a public forum

In 2010 only, I think you'd be very slightly better off without membership. Beyond that membership works out much better - assuming the renewal fee really is nominal. Above £10 I'd regard it as a renewal fee rather than a nominal renewal fee.



Assuming you got a pass again in 2011 and that without membership it was at least £221/£260 (east/west), you'll be better off with membership. You won't be paying £60 every year for membership.

If anybody hasn't looked at the pdf brochure (not assuming any of the above haven't or trying to be condescending), I would before deciding whether or not it is for you.

Fair post. Remember also that we only have a C license - the stadium, the youth structure, etc all need investment. If we want to spend up to or close to the cap, while building infrastructure (and very possibly servicing debts incurred getting to and staying in SL), I can see why more money is needed. The only mystery to me is why they have slashed the cost of my virtual season pass, rather than just giving me a discount on it for becoming a member.

Believe me mild rover I have spent an incredible amount of time reading and re-reading that pdf. I know you think I am moaning but I would love to be a part of this scheme and help the club, but no matter how many times I read it and work it out, I can see no benefit for my family at this moment in time.

I do not think you are moaning and I understand why you are disappointed.

Don't know if this applies to you, but anybody who has been a pass holder for, say, 5 years (back when Rovers were still struggling and numbers buying a pass were much smaller), should, IMO, get a big discount on membership. Perhaps the RSG could suggest that to the club?

Like I said I'm not against the scheme and I fully understand why the club are launching it, if I weren't I wouldn't have already registered my kids. My problem is that I won't have the money for mine and my husband's passes before the end of Sept, so can't see any benefit at all of being a member. I'll be buying the kids passes and hopefully we'll be able to afford our before the end of the year, but at least there won't be any further price hikes then.

I didnt add that of course i will be getting a pass 2011/2012 and so on...

so would that then make it worth while? as i also dont see anyone getting a north stand ticket for the derby game unless they are in this membership...

Ok, got me there!

However, 24% increase? maybe not:

Last seasons prices, by discount period:



So, prices for 2010 are essentially the same as an undiscounted 2009 pass?

Apart from the extra £60 you mean?

No, if those figures are correct, he doesn't. The discounted tickets now require membership, rather than early renewal - that is the difference.

The difference being £60 then?

Will you be joining as I presume the press don't pay to get in
