dont really care, just stairing the pot

Careful you don't trip on them, wouldn't want you to scald yourself.

Mmm .... it's not entirely clear that existing season pass holders can get a discounted pass unless they joined the Club before the end of July. Although it does say that Club members who aren't existing pass holders can get a discount pass as long as they join the Club between Aug 1st to 16th.

If you read the literature to-the-letter then, as an existing passholder unless you've joined Club Rovers before then end of July, you won't get a discounted pass.

Is the answer to join Club Rovers now but give a different name to that on your pass. I'm sure that can't be right but that's how the logic seems to work!

As I said earlier, I think they've rushed this through and it might come back to bite them on the behind with bad feeling from long-standing supporters who a) haven't read the small print and/or b) are skint.

Maybe im just thick, but i still dont get it lol

If you buy your membership now ,you will be eligable to renew your pass at £179 from August 17th when phase 1 commences.

but you can only buy a 179 quid pass if u pay 60 quid? if not, what is the next price for a season pass? as i read it there is no discount period at all

AFAIK you are correct. £221 is the flat price of a Well/ East Stand pass (£260 for a seat) if you aren't a Club Rovers member - if there are any left by the time that non-Club Rovers members are allowed to buy.

Re. previous comments - it would seem logical that existing pass holders can get a discount if they join Club Rovers after Aug 1st but the word in the leaflet aren't totally clear on that.

As i understand it
The following format applies to East stand supporters
As an existing passholder. If you become a paid up club Rovers member before 17th August, then you are eligble to renew your pass at last years price which was £179, you can do this from August 17th to August 23rd ( phase 1)

For new passholders they must join up to the membership(£60) before the 24th August when phase 2 comes in, then they also can purchase their passes at last years prices£179.
They can do this from August 24th to september 30th (PHASE 2)

Anyone who buys a pass after 30th August will have to pay the full ticket price which will be £221.For people who do not have the ready funds at present, can pay installments between the begiining of September and January.
This package will apply for the next two years so, if you work out what you will save on this years pass and next years, given the fact that the normal season pass price will have to go up again next year, you will save around £44 over the next two years on passes, however if you take next years proposed nominal fee charge on top, then the savings are not going to be that great. i think the intended nominal fee next year should be scrapped. The above examples apply to East stand passholders, hope this helps.

So.... bear with me cos I'm either having a thick day or this is seriously confusing.....

If I go into the shop on say the 21st of sept I can either pay £221 and buy a pass or

Pay £239 and get my pass and CR membership (with its benefits of shirts discount, frozen pass next year etc....).

If this is correct I may do it that way as paying an extra £18 to secure a cheap(er) pass next year and the other benefits doesn't seem so bad..

so if you buy in phase 2 you dont get a half price derby ticket? and if u buy after phase 2 its 18 quid cheaper (yet no benifits)

I just rang the shop and they said that you still got the discount after the 23rd of August justthat you weren't guaranteed theres any left.... now I'm seriously confused...

Don't forget that, although by joining Club Rovers for £60, you get a discount off this and next year's pass (which we used to get for free by buying early!) there will be a nominal charge for Club Rovers membership next year to fork out too. Nobody is quantifying this charge. You would expect it to be much less than £60 but people need to factor this in to whether they consider Club Rovers is for them.
