They are 2 separate things. Hudgell is quite clear that season pass sales in November 2009 were were in line with November 2008. The giveaway here is his use of the phrase "Season pass sales are in line with this time last year give or take a few. The 5000 refers to Club Rovers membership. The giveaway phrase here is "Rovers membership". He then qualifies this by saying people don't fully understand Club Rovers. A reasonable effort on your part, but sadly unsuccessful.

Even if you were right (which you're not) and the 5000 referred to season passholders in November 2009, that would still make either the declared 6000 in 2008 incorrect, because Hudgell is saying at 5000, November 2009 sales were in line with November 2008, or the statement that November 2009 sales at 5000 were in line with November 2008 was incorrect. Either way, these three statements are not fully compatible, as well you know.

You cant do that with an old style paper pass! Well done Rovers.
