If your going to just spout cr@p all the time do it on your own forum!

Which of course not many supporters would want

Stop it, they'll need to turn their attentions to their own club

Not read all the previous so this may have already been brought up but I see they have now scrapped the Rovers Mums scheme as well, so the increase for me, my wife and daughter is £158, or if I pay the membership fee it will be an increase of £173 less the shirt / derby ticket which equates to a 50% increase in fees.

That kind of rise is extorionate and especially to announce it at this late a date.

What kind of increases can we expect at the gates, North stand £24 if in line with the 20ish% rise in passes (not withstanding removal of other schemes)

this is the last season for me as a pass holder...i am not gonna get stiffed !!

Then you'd better not moan about the quality of the team, the state of the ground or the lack of marketing! Strange concept but it takes money to be a top SL team and that money has to come from somewhere.

Indeed. NH's notes and the stuff about the scheme in the wigan match program are refreshingly honest. The club has made a precipitous climb in the last few years. To do this it has unavoidably been run at a loss. Those losses were planned for, but they can't continue indefinately. To quote James Elston: 'To maintain that push we need to generate more income.'

The one-off membership fee will hopefully defray some of the one-off costs associated with securing the SL licence. After that, the books need to be balanced based on crowds in the region of 8-9k (plus TV money, sponsorship etc). We should be able to put together a competitive squad on that, especially as more young (and initially cheap) players come through the ranks. Major ground improvements are going to be a big ask in the current economic climate and I hope the club don't overstretch there.

But there are no money issues at KR

Sphericals pal.....The money should come from atrracting more fans...increased sponsorship...increased corporate.....better merchandise (cos the shop is full of boring cack)...



Not from making loyal fans pay £60 each to be exactly where they've been for the last umpteen years...many many other teams / organisations manage without foisting an artificial elite membership scheme on the long suffering fan.



this is a twisted scheme that has been sold to a gullible board by a spin-doctor...the majority of people in East Hull do not have money to chuck away on a pick-pocket of a scheme!!

it is essentially "hand us £60 now and we will allow you to buy your season pass at this years price" followed by "if you don't give us £60..you're screwed"

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS....Pride of East Hull..NO SORRY, correction...Pride of Elite Membership Only

Maybe they have already thought of that. Crowds have already risen dramatically, though. Sponsorship and corporates is no longer going to be the cash cow it was.



Thing is, Rovers fans suffering, in sporting terms, is much less than it has been. Tbf, I think long-term season pass holders should get a discount. 5 years holding a pass, meaning you get the concessionary rate for example.



For those who can't afford it, I have every sympathy. But only if you doubt that the money will be properly reinvested in the club can you brand it a rip-off.
