If you can point out where I've overstated what an adult Club Rovers member in the RM stand has paid over 2 years, why not share it?
The £60 was a 1 off payment to freeze payment for 3 years not 2 so its actually only applicable to last years figures or its only 40 over 2 years not 60. Arn't you an accountant?

"Season pass frozen at 2008 discount prices for 2010 and 2011"

Suppose the way to look at it is, are Rovers fans generally happy with the value they get for the money they pay out, on the whole the answer is yes. Are FC fans happy with the value they get, not judging by a lot of the not buying another pass brigade on here.
Simply summarised. £485 to watch entertaining rugby or £455 to watch utter durge, its a no brainer..
Still I suppose you can sit there happily unentertained and applaud the profit.

Or the other way to look at it is that we're talking about 2010 and 2011 prices here. 2011 hasn't started yet so you can't say what level of entertainment or results that will bring. What we do know,however, is that FC won more home games last season than Rovers, which is really what you buy your pass for. Chuck in a far nicer stadium and an extra 13 weeks to get a discounted price and, well, I think we compare reasonably, particularly when you think on this basis a pass in the South Stand at the KC is cheaper than a pass in the Golf Stand at Craven Park.

Winning isn't the same as being entertained, grinding teams out isn't entertaining, scraping wins with a one up drive game plan isn't entertaining. FC are the Cliff Thorburn of rugby league, maybe effective at times but would you really want to have to sit and watch it week in week out.
My best mate is an ardent FC fan and even he'll admit he doesn't look forward to watching them. Just look on your own board and see how many are disillusioned with the brand of rugby your lot turn out.
You can spin it all you like but even you don't believe you are more entertaining than us.
What do you get when you mix black and white... Grey enough said.

another thread into point scoring drivel, well done again mrs B.
The top and bottom of it is that if FC season passes in the gold plated uber mega best seats the world has ever known were £5 and Rovers was £300 i still know i would NOT be heading to the KFC. You support who you support regardless. I'm sure its the same if rolls were reversed, you wouldn't uy a rovers pass at a 5er. Even being the accountant you are and all your usual calculations etc you still wouldn't buy a rovers pass so price, value for money etc is pretty irrelevant. its not gonna make people change clubs to save 15 quid over 2 seasons or whatever calculation you made
a shameful typo

Hmm, a compelling argument, thinking about a weekend leisure activity in terms of value for money and all things related to Monday to Friday work. I think I may have to reconsider where my loyalties lie next season, after all, thirty Queens over the course of eight months and thirteen games is an awful lot to contemplate...

That's it! phleastyler, our glorious Kim Jong-Il like leader has defected, I'm gone...
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
