The players and the manager want home support behind both goals. Moving some East stand regulars to the North stand has nothing to do with the name change issue.
It's more the way it has been done , the time scale to pay a deposit etc. like I said it doesn't effect me though The problem is if it doesn't effect them personally a lot of people don't care , look at the price rise issue , not much sympathy for our fans who are on a low wage in Hull from some others who think £500 is nothing
Apparently ranging from £50 (tops) for Category A game to £16 for category C - although I can't remember where I have read that!
£50 for Cat A games, dropping to £16 for Cat C games, but other than the obvious, I'm not sure which fixtures will drop into which category.
Didn't realise there was a different time scale for those fans who have to move. Just assumed everyone had till 1st July
I'm gonna moan like a moaning git about the price rise but I've invested too much of my life to stop going in protest, when I smoked I paid the budget rises, I still buy beer even though it was only a quid a pint 15 years ago, I hate the old b'stard for upping the price but like an addict I will pay it. He knows most of us will pay and the few that don't won't make a difference in income, let's hope the price for Euro games is low because this could get very expensive with a run in that cup
Despite what I said yesterday, I think now it's been confirmed as a 30% rise, that's steep in 1 leap tbf. They've missed a trick here, as they could have offered an early bird discount like our lot do, to existing pass holders. We had until 20th April to pay for next seasons passes and you could save over £90 on the most expensive seats. Given that it's a big hike, they could have offered something similar to you lads, maybe pitching the early bird at around half of the full increase. The new pass holders pay the going rate, but long standing fans get a bit of a loyalty discount, plus the club knows early on how many they have to sell over the summer months and gain the cashflow advantage to boot.
Then they wouldn't see much benefit, of the available season ticket seats 90% are already sold, there'd only be a potential 10% they could get the full prices from. What they should have done is simply staggered the increases over two or three seasons to lessen the blow. Or even better, end the stupid spat with the council, increase the stadium size and not increase the prices at all.
Yes, this. Or change the name and actually lower prices, which would be great for the supporters and building the fan base. Sadly I just don't see either happening for quite some time, if ever.
There were several things that affected the season ticket renewals, the FA decision on the name change, the moving of some season ticket holders to accommodate a new away stand, daft ballots, costs for Wembley trips etc.
So you're saying the club decided that it's fanbase was collectively brassic and postponed even offering season tickets out until after the cup final? haha, that's mental ffs. Why didn't they just issue the pricing and extend the deadline to cater for those who might have found it a stretch? Or even better offer a club credit card that you can fund the thing on?......Sounds like you've got some right small time bell ends in your marketing dept.
I wonder how many in E4 will want to move rather than be next to away fans? They're the ones sat at the minute, presumably they'll want to sit down in the north stand too.
Just read something interesting that the FSF put in a pamphlet that apparently the new TV deal meant that clubs could reduce prices by upto £50 on a season ticket. There's a fair few people on t'internet and contacting Burnsy's show banging the drum about the price increase funding squad improvements. Oh dear.
