Interesting concept, switching to a pay monthly concept

Is there a risk if it all goes wrong when the team are crap so people cancel their Direct Debits?

I know it's not the same thing, but where I live the council did it with golf season tickets, and yes, when the course became un-playable, the majority did cancel them.

Earn Your Stripes – our new Season Membership Scheme – is launching for the 2016/17 campaign, and with it will come a fairer, simpler and, for many, cheaper way of watching the Tigers in action next season.

Full and comprehensive details of the new Membership Scheme will follow next week, but today we can reveal some exciting details which will lead to adults and families making some dramatic savings compared to the price of their existing 2015/16 Season Cards, regardless of whether we’re playing in the Barclays Premier League or Sky Bet Championship.

Earn Your Stripes is a unique new monthly membership programme aimed at rewarding supporter loyalty, reducing the cost of watching the Tigers in action at the KC Stadium both for members and match-by-match supporters, and enhancing the matchday atmosphere.

There are three tiers of Membership – One-Stripe, Two-Stripe and Three-Stripe, with Two and Three-Stripe Membership giving access to a range of extra benefits including away match ticket priority, the option to sign-up to Away Direct and discounted away match travel.

However many stripes you sign up for, from the start of 2016/17 the KC Stadium will be split into five different price zones (one of which will be for corporate clients only) offering a ‘one price per zone’ payment plan.

"The change will mean a large number of fans will have to move from existing seats to new locations to take advantage of the savings.

Anyone who wishes to remain could be hit by a higher price under the new zoning."

So they've basically changed the payment system to try and hide the fact that they've put the prices up.

I must admit, I'm half expecting us to 're-zone' the ground as way of disguising price rises too.
 
So as there are no longing offering concession reductions, the OAP's and U16’s who will be hit with the biggest price increase.

I've nothing against Hull at all, but last season after the first game it was clear that Villa were doomed and therefore it was only two down from 19, so hopefully for us it'll be the same this time.

Erm ... Didn't they beat some tinpot team in the first game?
 
People who write the kind of marketing gumpf like that for Hull City really are complete and utter shysters!
