Olm wrote a few pages down I judge everything on it's own merit, just because the owners came up with one stupid idea, I don't automatically assume all their ideas are stupid (and this isn't even their idea anyway). I think the principal of a switch from passes to memberships is a very good one, though I don't think they've gone far enough with the kids/families discounts and I hope this is addressed. I agreed with that post and wrote Agreed. Are they really pissed off with Burns or is it released just to test the water? Because they need to factor in concession prices into this.
Trying not to get drawn in, but there were some hints elsewhere about the content on the 4th of March.
I know personally I never heard about it until that leak that night after the Forest game, not sure about anyone else.
Yeah disappointingly low I know I can only assume folk have got bored of the repetitive and cyclical nature of this thread and have stopped reading it.
This from Amber nectar who attended the fwg where it was discussed A few weeks ago, at the most recent Fans’ Working Group meeting, those present had an outline of the scheme shown to them, though only after signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Yes, really. The club were very anxious not to have any details revealed. Now, this NDA was made out to “Hull City Tigers”, and as a quick scan of the league table shows no such club we didn’t really feel entirely bound by it, but as courteous guests we naturally abided by it. The club also asked for feedback based upon a presentation, and invited us to submit further observations and constructive criticism via e-mail. Kids prices were raised by others at the time, though a firm response to this was skipped over. Perhaps this ought to have alerted us that something was amiss. We strongly advised against compelling people to move. The upper west stand isn’t our cup of Darjeeling, but its patrons deserve better than summary eviction from a seat they may have had for over a decade. It can only generate ill will. Unfortunately this recommendation hasn’t been acted upon. We thought then, as now, that this is a scheme with some merit. Discounting adult prices is a very welcome move, even if it entails the possible aggravation of moving. A few weeks ago, we offered qualified support, pointing out that several improvements had to be made before it represented the major improvement the club is keen advertise but appreciating that this is something worthy of consideration and capable of offering genuine benefits. We like the principle and we recognise the potential. But… It is not tenable to price out kids and families in this way, and could cause immense long-term damage to the club. We remember the dog days of the 1990s, when City’s prospects were so bleak an entire generation of kids grew up wearing other team’s shirts. Repairing that damage and making the club attractive to kids took many, many years. We’re risking the same situation again. Please, City, have another think.
