I have renewed.
Re Rovers. After the last two seasons I am not surprised their sales are up, if they hadn't been, then there would have been very little else they could do to improve numbers.
As for us, well, let's see where the final numbers fall. If we reach 8000 it would represent a great effort considering our recent history.

I would assume most of us on here are pass holders anyway.

My concern is that Rovers have sold more passes than us for the first time in SL and our sales whilst steady are still in decline.

I have numerous friends and a couple of family members that have decided not to renew for this season unfortunately based on the last couple of years but definitely last season killed off their passion for actively supporting the club.

The club needs to produce on the field more than ever to repair the damage of last season and for me I'm still badgering those I know to renew, now with have new found optimism.

I know Adam said we need to get back to crowds of 11,500 so I think we all need to actively do our bit to help.

Our average attendance in 2025 will be higher than Hull KR, have no doubt about that.

I renewed last month, do feel we will be better next year but not expecting us too shoot right up the table.

I was more trying to gauge if people hadn't renewed and then changed their mind after the takeover announcement.

As for rovers, if they played in a 25k capacity stadium where you could just rock up and be guaranteed a seat they wouldn't have sold so many

This is my thoughts regards Rovers too. With a very limited capacity, their fans need to have a season ticket to ensure admission.

As we have the best and one of the biggest stadiums in the competition, we sell 10,000 memberships and still have another 12,000 home fans turn up on the day. Plus we would also announce the attendance before the hooter. Something they’ll never have or do, East of the river!

For what it is worth, I’ve renewed my membership too and always was going to regardless of the ownership.

If we only had a ground that held 10000 I think we would sell out. Some people don't need to buy a pass as there is always an available ticket.

Agree, the amount of empty seats mean a season pass isn't essential at the MKM and I've sat in every stand and there simply isn't a bad view to be had in the ground.

Whereas at Craven Park seats are limited, some seats down the side have pillars in the way or can't see the try line etc so fans will renew ASAP or risk not getting in at all or having to stand.

I would imagine we have the cash to do some tickets deals now, but I'd prefer we wait for the rugby to improve first. I've lost count of many times I've depressingly seen newcomers lured in with a cheap ticket deal and the team put on a disaster class!

I renewed (even though I said I wasn’t at the end of the season & behore the Thirkill announcement) due to the amount of change that had been done and put in to place. For me it felt totally different to the previous years and luckily financially it wasn’t problem to renew. However I do know a few that haven’t due to financial reasons and some others who want to wait and see how next season goes.

I agree with what others have said about ourselves vs KR in that the fact they are limited on capacity means that naturally they will have a bigger uptake initially due to simple supply and demand first and foremost so you simply can not compare the two.

The feeling amongst the believers the none believers annoyed and frustrated alike that I speak to has been generally buoyed by the announcement last week and I think that we really missed a trick not reinstating a temporary return to the discount scheme for say a week after the forum. They could have announced it that night and I think they would have gained some more sales myself.

Re: Season pass roll call : Tue Nov 19, 2024 6:02 pm  

6500 passes sold, likely still puts us behind last year buts it hard to say as we didn't have an early cheap price deadline last time. Club saying they have had an upturn in sales since last week though.
