Hard to see what more facts will be coming out. The clubs website and the stuff they gave to the Hull Daily Mail, shows the zones and the prices that's a fact. If they are / were still working on the pricing when the story was leaked ( if that's what it was ) why give out any prices.
The fundamentals won't change, but hopefully there'll be some detail/numbers on exactly who does and doesn't benefit and the mechanisms for potential moves, so at least people know where they stand (or sit).
You only get the chance to make one 1st impression. Those that got the information via the company presentation seem to be less anti, albeit with reservations, than those that got the news in fits and starts, lead by the tweets from Burns. It's a fair bet that, even if it was with the knowledge of the club, his motive wasn't to provide information, it was to bump up ratings. The local media's contribution to the ill-feeling around the club shouldn't go uncommented.
I am trying to stay with the facts the club has released, zones and prices. The seat moving is a whole different ball game.
There wasn't much of anything in the tweets, the club could have said everything will be revealed next week or whenever, they chose to put what they did on the club website and gave the Hull Daily Mail the map of the ground showing zones and prices.
Which in my view, was part of the issue. If he'd said little in less words, then the clearer, more complete message could have had a chance of being delivered.
I certainly think they'll stand until the full launch next week, whether they change after that based on the reaction remains to be seen.
I'm waiting for the release of matchday prices for next season. If there are no concessions elsewhere in the stadium (eg the cost of a seat is the same for a kid as an adult in specific areas) then the same must apply for matchday tickets ie adults & kids pay the same prices. The club can't possibly do anything else unless they want a full scale membership rebellion. Maybe the should have introduced the membership scheme next season first and then tinkered with costs/moving seats once everyone has been used to that for a year or so. Folk don't like change at the best of times and to introduce membership/massive cost changes/moving seats all in one fell swoop shows a complete lack of understanding of human nature by those who came up with changes. Slowly slowly catchy monkey and all that.
Well that's us done then. I refuse on principle to pay either £324 £414 or £498 for a season pass for a 16 year old
They have a very poor record when it comes to listening to fans, but they'll obviously have to react if people aren't buying the new memberships.
We are talking about the future generation of Hull City supporters being priced out of the game. It's just wrong on every ****ing level. 10 years my son has been a season pass holder. Along with his grandad who has been one for donkeys years. It's shameful
We're not talking about planes though are we? Like I say, we are talking about the future generation of Hull City supporters. The club is being run by a pair of ****puddles and it's a shambles
