Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote You get no benefits from being a passholder? It begs the question why do you buy one?
It was easy to give priority benefits to passholders back in the day, as we had 1500 passholders and that was a low enough number to offer them a priority on ticket purchases etc. Now we have 6500 passholders you can't use it to differentiate.
Club Rovers has saved me money, as it has with many other members despite the attempts on here and the other forum to rubbish it. It may well have been born out of cash flow requirements ( I really have no idea), but given this 2nd year freeze in pass prices, I think its been proven to represent value for money in the long ">term.'"
in response:
(1) My season pass guarantees my East Stand place until such a time that Club Rovers members fill the stand thus forcing me out as they will get priority purchase and renewals...I shall retract slighly my claim that I receive zero benefit as it is still cheaper to buy a pass than pay for individual match day prices for every game.
(2) Priority benefits. If Club Rovers reaches 6500 how will the club differentiate priority offers as according to your own statement such a number would be too large to do so.
(3) Club Rovers has saved you money. This really depends on which of 2 possible comparators you are using.
Comparator number 1 will measure the real difference between the current scheme with the previous system of season pass sales etc...thus showing that there is now no difference with what we had with what we've got other than the expectation to pay upfront and continue subscribing...ergo no real additional benefits but with increased costs.
Comparator number 2 will measure the current scheme with the hypothetical situation of there being NO discount scheme at all for early purchase etc. In this situation everyone's season pass will be full price - no exceptions - and no shop discounts or other benefits...it is therefore a benefit to become a Club Rovers member in this situation.
Each to their own etc etc...but I can only truly compare the Club Rovers scheme with the preceding situation as run without complication for many years. However, some seem to see merits of a scheme that only delivers any financial benefit when measured against a hypothetical situation which did not exist previously. You are only getting the discount on your pass that you always got, you are only receiving a shirt discount that you received in the past anyway etc etc.
It is false economics to measure the cost of a pass through Club Rovers membership against the full cost of a pass, as most passes were purchased at a discount price anyway under the "old" early purchase scheme.
Hull KR have gone backwards off the field, this scheme is a joke, the retail operation is an embarrasment, the whole marketing/merchandising arm of the club is amateurish at best.

| Quote ="barham red"Just had a look at the pamphlet and I see they've changed the Junior passes to junior and youth this year. has anyone renewed a junior from last year, do you get the price frozen at £40 for a 16 year old or do I now have to pay £70 for my daughters pass? also if I have to get her a youth pass this year does anyone know if you get free away games with a youth pass?'"
Depends when her birthday is mate. Can't remember the " cut off date " but i do know a friend of mine's son scraped in by two days last year. | | | |

She'll definitely qualify for a youth one but last year it was just a junior up to 16 the adult after that. This year they've added youth for 12-16 y/olds. Just wondered if youth carried the same T&C's as a junior.

Quote ="Roofs"Lol, similarly I often wonder if the 'Carlsberg' sold at our ground is the same as 'normal Carlsberg'?

icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" />
Ah right, cheers mate, might have to nip in Fusion.
icon_smile.gif" alt="icon_smile.gif" title="Smile" /> Also really like Piper so might head there cos expect it's pretty good on a Tuesday (they do the post-Sesh night there now).
[uAFAIK the only benefit you lose is the 1000 CR card points (=£10 shop credit)[/u.'"
Its a rather big thing to lose just because you havent done it online this week imo.
I honestly think getting £10 off a shirt had some pulling power last season - to me there ramming it up the wrong un.
1st week bought in the shop should also get this credit aswell imo. Not everyone has internet remember. |

I agree, to a point, but you clearly do so why not just renew on line?

I do and i will, if the old dear gives me my pocket money before the end of the weekend icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" />
But the point i was getting at, is i know a fair few people (older generation) who are die hard rovers fans that always get a shirt every season that sit in the West stand; and to me were basically pushing them out the door.(Club rovers and keeping your seats/advantage to getting it this week online ect) |
