Only if you want to renew, and seemingly it's about £50 for a new joinee. Walking away mid season seems to be penalty free until you reapply as a new member. Those of us that didn't renew season passes on principle, are seemingly liable to the joining fee to 'earn our stripes' if we continue to bide our time.
Only if you want to join again as it will cost you £50. That was under the original proposal anyway. Edit- DMD beat me to it.
All absolutely spot on I suspect there would probably have been no likelihood of your daughter stopping going if it wasn't for the appalling way the evictions were handled Many never really got over that, at least they were left with a complete mistrust and a feeling that their custom wasn't important to the club, I certainly still feel that way You've 'earned your stripes' far more than I have, but I still feel offended so I can only imagine what you feel!
Sorry, but I still don't get it either I used to pay direct debit, and then just renew as soon as they said I could (you know in the days when you found out next seasons price before Christmas and just ticked the letter to renew) If they'd have asked me to sign something to say they could automatically renew my pass and keep paying the direct debit then that would have been fine too. No 'membership' but surely the same effect in principle? As Dutch says that way I was guaranteed for a year at least as I'd already signed up and was effectively paying in arrears. If I am a 'member' and get pissed off with the As (this may be fairly likely) I might just cancel the direct debit, wait a couple of games, and renew even with a fee and still be better off and having had the chance to protest (I don't know what about....but something will no doubt come up!) It's marketing / business planning bollocks. Even before you consider the crass and immoral removal of concessions
Didn't the Allams quote something along the lines of 'i want it to be a family club with tickets costing £10 for everyone and 25000+ fans?' Think they meant tickets costing £10 per week for everyone and crowds of less than 10000k
I have tried to read as much of this as possible. I got into watching Hull City as I got free tickets to my first two games. After that the ticket prices where so cheap my dad would take me. Since five years I have been a season ticket holder and I benefited from great prices. I turned 24 this year so I couldn't qualify for the under 23 ticket. The price I paid last year was something ridiculous last year (around £250). I now pay full price, do i begrudge it? Not at all I had 15 years at an absolute bargain price, and I want young City fans to benefit like I did. I will now be a season ticket holder for the rest of my life. If I didn't have the chance of getting cheap tickets I doubt I would be here now. No child should pay a penny more than they did last year. They are the future of the club and I certainly wouldn't be a City fan if it wasn't for cheap tickets. Why should that change now!
No one at all should pay a penny more than last year. The membership scheme has understandably got us all talking about certain issues but if the bottom line is yet another price increase that's just ****ing shocking. It was ****ing shocking last year when we were relegated and already going to lose thousands of fans. To do it again this year with such pisspoor crowds already will be truly incredible even for City.
Who knows That may be the case Although to be fair us non pass holders have to "earn our stripes" somehow
No, there's no charge for becoming a member. There'll be a charge for cancelling and rejoining, but that's just to stop people taking the piss and cancelling their memberships during the close season.
Well they can go **** off with that Dennis. Id rather have a couple of afternoons on some ale in the old town
As the original scheme was presented, yes, there is a £50 charge for new or rejoining members, unless they sign up before the new season deadline. I'm surprised OLM says differently, because earlier in this thread, he copied and posted the content from the Club's quote in the HDM http://www.not606.com/threads/new-membership-scheme-thirtys-plenty.324945/page-23#post-9033900 This may have changed in the revised version, but as yet, nobody knows.
The fee is simply to stop people cancelling and joining a couple of months later, there's no desire to actually charge people to join the membership scheme and if they sign up ahead of next season they won't pay any joining fee.
Presumably it's because he thinks it's likely we won't be promoted ?! (It said the £50 only if we went up)
