It's a subscription - not a season long membership. http://www.hullcitysupporterstrust.com/beware-before-you-sign/
It gets worse. After reading that i cant believe that 4.500 have signed up. It wouldnt surprise me if they ended up with 10,000 members the way its going
Alternatively, they could put the prices down. And I might have a threesome this weekend with a couple of supermodels, win the lottery and run the marathon in a world record time. On the other hand...
Admittedly, the four times a year would be at the extreme end, and they've have to announce the price rise as the previous one kicked in; but I would have said a hair-brained scheme this wasn't likely either. I was prepared to sign up - like others have said - I don't want to let them win - but the t&c stuff the HCST has pulled up is very scary - even more troubling is that the club doesn't feel the need to issue any clarifications. People say they're running the club as a business - but could you imagine any other business ignoring one of it's biggest consumer groups in this way?
After been surrounded by annoying ****ing kids tonight, I might be in favour of doubling their season passes. ****ing hate kids
Discussing this all night Loads of tiny mobs of tiny kids...who were absolutely loving it. Sadly they will have to wait for another free U21s game to all come again I can live with him not wanting me there...I'm a miserable old ****er. However not wanting them there is just deliberately choosing to kill the club It's ****ing madness
I think a lot will. This scheme could have been crushed before it got started but im afraid that people coming together and standing against what they see is wrong ended in the 80s. A **** you im alright Jack situation is more prevalent in this day and age.
Folk have got to stop looking at this as a fight, a battle. For those who want change to the oppressive regime (dramatic but true) there needs to be clarity that not all battles must be won to win a war. That is what is in front of you, a moral and public spirited war of attrition to save the integrity of your club. The OSC is not only ineffectual, but also damaging. Their subservience to the club is Quisling like and needs to be abandoned and dismissed as any form of supporter representation. Take whatever action feels right to you, but listen and share with the HCST. Join it, encourage others, your mam, dad, everyone and anyone to join it. Give them the numbers that give them a voice; their voice can and will bring change for the better. The bigger they are the more allies will come to their (your) aid. I would encourage them, the Trust, to take the longer view (I think they are) as there will probably be no immediate wins, but probably quite a few tears. Deadlines are those of the club, terms and conditions are those of the club, dignity, truth, patience and strength will belong to the Trust, so join with them and win the war. The most important thing is that the club hears a very clear declaration of war, no more nice words of appeasement, just straightforward claims of you have gone too far, enough is enough. A membership scheme could be a good thing, if structured correctly, this one is far from that. Your choice of membership is almost academic, go to games or don't, as the club has railroaded choice. The key thing is to join the Trust and help them in an ongoing war against this hideous scheme, as it won't be won soon.
It's like a mobile phone contract They tell you what it costs now, but also tell you they can put it up They put it up. You pay it or cancel the contract Club in the ownership of a 'good home'?...**** off
Its not like a mobile phone contract though. If I understand the position of the Trust and Amber Nectar the scheme may well be illegal.
You'll all have read this article no doubt. It still makes me vomit...as did many more since his ownership began. Lest we should forget his sincerity... http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/29440451
