Won't be buying one, don't see any incentives. If they want to charge more for a pass then fair enough, but it's disgusting the whole 'scheme' and the way they're doing it.

I thought i had heard somewhere that the monies raised were going to help build the East Stand Extention?

If this is the case, it seems as a good idea as building this space will increase revenue that may have been lost by giving the discount specified

If it is to pay the bills, does not seem a good idea!

Did they say want the needed the money for?

Dont think the club have actually said.

Most of the Hull fans seem to know though

I know they think we are skint!

But it matters to me why they want the money, as said above if it is going to help build the east stand extention, i'm in

If it's to fund the east stand extension then why don't they just say that? Far more people would join the scheme I am sure.

No mention of the East Stand there.

i think i heard it on humberside but from a rovers source

This seems unfair to one of the most loyal and supporting fans in the league. I hope all goes well for you lot and the atmosphere at Craven Park stays the same.

Maybe because you were £2.4m in debt in 2007 and have since posted another hefty loss (reportedly)?

So far the scheme is likely to have raised cash of (typical split):

800 @ full price (£60) = 48,000
250 @ concession (£30) = £7,500
250 @ £0 (childrens) = £0
Total £55,500

Less costs of additional administration (as there'll still be the standard admin of the season passes), costs of the card and flier design and production and postage of the vouchers. Would doubt this net amount would put much of a dent in the debt or the costs of extending the ground -put into context it's about 12 days of the player wages bill if you're spending the full cap. Weighed up against PR that's been mixed at best, so far you'd question whether it's been worth it, but there should be a surge in demand at the end of the month.

Many high profile soccer clubs in the Premiership offer these schemes and Chelsea and Bolton for instance, i believe, offer similiar schemes to the one at Rovers. Whatever fans think of this iniative or similiar schemes this will be copied in future seasons by most of the progresive clubs within Super league and is also being looked at by other sports. One of the objections put forward is the timing but to be honest there is no right time to start this kind of scheme given the current economic situation and to be fair to HKR the guy who is overseeing matters has only been employed for a few months so it would have been difficult to announce it prior to the season.
