Brilliant news, I have my pass sorted and have enrolled the baby as a junior Robin. Can't wait for the new shirts to be launched as well.

Well done



Just a couple of things though



:31ftal16



So why do people buy a shirt and not go



[quote:31ftal16We have about 800 tickets left to sell in the east stand,"Our shirt sales have always exceeded our average attendance and no doubt that will continue this season.'"

Home shirt / away shirt...... maybe some people by one of each, just a thought.

East stand is not a pass only stand, they keep a number back for non pass holders..

people buy shirts and dont go to matches for many reasons, a one off shirt is a lot less then going to matches, so if they cant afford to go they can still support with a shirt.



are you saying that everyone in a FC shirt gets to games?

This has always surprised me aswell. I know lots of both Rovers and Hull "fans" who buy the respective shirts and support them from a sky pub showing the game.

Yet the thousands of Man utd, Liverpool etc fans who do the same don't surprise you. It happens in all sports some people like to have allegancies but for numerous reasons can't or don't want to get to matches.

I'll buy a shirt, but I'll probably only get to 2/3 home games again (I'm not a bandwagoner because I'd didn't go often before and I still don't

), as I don't have the time to travel up every fortnight - I'll watch the rest on DVD. Ain't technology great?

I own a Brisbane Broncos sweatshirt and baseball cap and I've never been to Brisbane. I've got some football shirts that I go to then gym in and I could even tell you the name on the badge. What's your point?

So in theory somebody could ask to buy a pass and be refused and told to pay everygame, be a bit of a kick in the teeth will that , esp if they have joined the privelige club

Well it's a theory, a fairly ridiculous theory given that iirc membership of Club Rovers gave you an instant option on a season ticket.



As to people buying shirts and not going to games, check out Scarborough on any Saturday afternoon when Leeds are playing, it'll be brimmed with lashed up blokes in Leeds, Leeds, Leeds shirts and mis spelt tattoos.

I'd imagine most clubs in sport sell more replica shirts than they get through the gate.



Fantastic effort to sell that many passes so far. How do the sales compare with the rest of sl?

It's difficult to tell atm because they all dont go on sale at the same time.



I think I'm right in saying that hkr started selling them before this season ended and most other clubs waited till the end of the season.
