Myself and family can't get in the East Stand anymore, but we stand in the Well now, and enjoy the game just as much

Other clubs do have similar schemes already. They just dont charge anywhere near £60 for it

Sorry to hear about your husband Trace I would not wish that on anyone, but if this forum is about Rovers, a simple "we can't afford it will do". If you want to wash your financial details in public then I suggest the general forum on our board, at least the rest of us will not have to read it all over and over and over and over again, unless we dip our toes in there.

Lets say hypotheticly that 2010 attracts 2000 members Most will be East Standers as thats the biggest and most popular area.
As you made assumptions so will i.
1000 from the East Stand = Nobody's place taken 600 from the RM Stand = More then likely to retain their current seat 300 from The Well = Nobody's place taken 100 - North Stand = Again likely to sit in the same area.
Mountain out of a molehill somewhat id say.
So the 100 in the north stand wouldn't rather get a decent seat in the RM stand? 100 loyal supportes thrown out of their seats for some johnny come lateleys?

As far as I can remember from the scheme, the details get blurred with all the opinions and rumors on here at the moment, by joining you get your season pass as per normal. You only have to stump up the cash by September if you want to benefit from the discount on the pass. But I feel this has changed now so I do not see what all the fuss is about

So comments like this don't give me the reason to have to defend myself:
Quote:Don't worry Trace you can joint the club and get your badge now they have a payment scheme for it , but you will just have to find something else to bleat about now though won't you
What you quite mean by 'getting a badge' I'm not sure. If you check my on my previous posts on this thread I have discussed the scheme in relation to other people not just myself. I am hopeful that when I do eventually buy my pass, at full price, I should still be able to get into the East Stand, but I do fear for those who are in the RM Stand and are not joining the scheme, to guarantee having that same seat they are being pushed into joining.

Some fans prefer a place behind the sticks fella.
Dont ask me why but they do.
