New membership scheme & Thirty's Plenty...

[originallambrettaman]

Does this mean that to go to an individual game you'll need to be a member?

Example: if my old mum asks me to take her to a game (it has happened before) she will need to become a member with a potential joining fee of £50 & then pay for a full priced ticket, despite being nearly 80.

There won't be a joining fee for the membership that's only for individual games/bundles of games, there's only a fee at all to stop people on full memberships from cancelling when there's no games on and rejoining when there are.

I suspect it will end up being more than a £50 fee, as it has to be a reasonable deterrent.

Though anyone who's happy to cancel and rejoin obviously doesn't care too much about where they sit, as they lose their seat when they cancel.

Let's see shall we

The experts that put the initial scheme together are on the job.

 

[neverdullinhull]

To be fair, we're talking about the old scheme.

The new version is coming out any day now. Surely it must address these fundamental and what should have been obvious flaws.

Scrapping this unnecessary scheme is the only way forward to support the team on the pitch for the rest of the season and retain support. Any tinkered with re-launch will be pressing a nuclear self destruct button not just for this season but for a generation to come with us plunging like Blackpool have from their Tower.

Let's all just wait and see what it actually is shall we
You're getting your preview today aren't you? (Or you thought you might?)
......or did you say tomorrow?
Either way we'll know soon enough...hopefully

As the current scheme has 1000's losing their seats without even cancelling, I don't think many will find it an issue to renew their old seat later.

If we don't go up it'll be fairly irrelevant anyway
I didn't renew and have been able to get seats for every game on either the same row or one away and only 6 or so seats away from where I stood anyway
I suspect if we stay down that will become even easier.
Easier still if the legion of the disillusioned grows with more young people and old people joining it too!

She might have better options than asking you to take her to City as well!

I'd have to be nearby because She'd still be feeding me.

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

This menbership scheme is the worst thing that has ever happened at our club...

IF they take away concessions from kids and pensioners

I expect a huge protest on the scale of the name change idea.

Anyone who supports higher ticket prices
For kids and pensioners is a **** head.

In my opinion

I doubt if any protest will be visible.
But plenty of empty seats will be.

I think Ehab should start attending matches again. He is never going to have his finger on the pulse watching on tv or listening to the pitches of marketing people whose prime interest is in their fee.

Nah he has people to independently verify matches for him.

I might or might not be getting the details today, it's all a bit up in the air, though I'm not going to be able to post details ahead of the club launch anyway.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Of course it's relevant, if she was 25 she wouldn't be my old mum.

Who's your new mum?

yeah I realise that you wouldn't post details
I was just making the point that a few days ago at least it seemed the actual scheme would be getting publicly launched tomorrow (ish)

Edit - no idea why I quoted Ben regarding being breastfed by a 25 year old relative...!

Are there too many r's and f's in that?

 

[Fez]

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.

And if a newbie joins into next season?

 

[originallambrettaman]

And if a newbie joins into next season?

No idea, they'll probably do some sort of offer that's free for new members ahead of each season.

 

[DMD]

And if a newbie joins into next season?

There's bo grey area. According to the club anyone joining next season, former pass holder or not, will pay £50 membership fee.

Will there be a joining fee?

A The club says a £50 membership fee will be in place if City are promoted but members joining early will not have to pay.

The only queries are the Premier league bit, and any revisions, which nobody yet knows.

As it stands,it's £50.

That's certainly my understanding, to date.
