A lot of people are skint ginger. Hull's crowds haven't been all that given they've had a promising start to the season.

My daughter, son in law and granddaughter have all not bought a pass this season due to finance, sign of the times.

Traditionally, the London game attracts a lower than average crowd but seeing how Rovers have budgeted 7,000 average this season it wasn't too bad.
Re attracting more support, the problem is the 'footfall' pricing - at £22 it's too steep. Perhaps its time for the club to introduce discounted offers ie 3 games for the price of 2. Or better still, passholders can bring a buddy for £15.

Once the new stand is in place, why not heavily discount the passes like Bradford and Hudds do, better to have 10k in the ground than 7k, even if it means the same income.

That's a dangerous strategy, as Bradford are currently finding out. Hudds can do it due to the depth of Ken Davy's pockets.

When I compare my East Stand season pass cost to the match day admission cost - 13 matches x's £22 ='s £286 - I think it is already heavily discounted.

Offering cheap tickets (i.e. 3 games for the price of 2) makes a mockery of those who've bought passes.
I always liked what they did when we had the book passes where there was vouchers at the back. If memory serves me right there were 3 matchday tickets labelled A, B & C and were for the purpose of swapping for the first 3 cup games? Also a shirt discount ticket.
Perhaps on purchase of a season pass they should give a shirt offer, I believe we get 10% anyway? If they offered 20% on Home & Away I'd probably buy both.
