Featherstone Rovers have announced a large increase in membership sales ahead of the 2018 campaign.

The 2018 ‘#BeRovers’ membership campaign began in September as well while an all-new direct-debit scheme was launched, which proved popular amongst supporters.

A large amount of Featherstone fans purchased memberships via direct debit, allowing payments to be made across five months.

Hundreds of people took advantage of the club’s early-bird offer, providing one of the best value-for-money memberships in the second-tier.

And Rovers general manager, Davide Longo, is delighted to see the increase in membership sales.

He said: “We are extremely pleased with how our membership sales have progressed over the past few months.

“They started strongly via the new direct-debit operation and soared in the days leading up to the early-bird deadline.

“We have also been able to gather plenty of data, which will allow us to communicate better with supporters.

“And we have welcomed a host of new members to the club, with several who have not been members for some time coming back on board too.

“The response has been very pleasing and should provide us with a boost as we aim to increase average attendances throughout the course of next season.

“With so much at stake in 2018, we are looking to turn the LD Nutrition Stadium into a fortress. The support of our fans, particularly on home turf, will prove vital for us.

“We have invested monies raised from memberships directly into the squad and our recruitment remains ongoing.”
