Re: Are Hull FC having a laugh???? : Fri Feb 17, 2012 6:03 pm  

I've gone to the KC for the last three seasons and really enjoyed it, good views/stewarding and some cracking banter and was looking forward to going again this season, however as a matter of principle I am not going this year, it is outrageous that away fans are being penalised in this way (however small the difference is) and in any other activity it would be condemned by the governing body. As for sitting in with the Hull fans, also I think people need to get their facts straight, in order to get the pre match day discount we need to purchase through the club before the day and they only have tickets for one stand so therefore we would be paying more than £19 on match day to sit in a mixed stand (unless you drive over to hull and buy them from the ground) so for this reasion and yes for the sake of £3 I will not be going, but I'm happy to pay £600 for the family to go to Perpignan for the weekend

As for the comment about juniors getting value with their season tickets, is there any parent on here that would allow their Under 16 child to go to Hull without parental/adult supervision, one of the reason kids get free away games is to try to encourage mare to travel as adults are the ones that spend money at grounds

NO we say this year in year out what was the price at Hull 4 seasons ago??? the price is going up year on year by well over inflation and well above anybodies wage increase enough is enough I can pay it but I will not at Hull at Huddersfield,HKR,STS,Leeds and the rest

I dont expect our season tickets to be £100 next season I would expect around £200 no problem with that I have a problem with being ripped off to the tune of £25 at Hull or any other ground for that matter at this rate Hull will charge £30 within 2-3 seasons

Do you seriously believe that you should pay less to attend a game at the KC where you get a comfortable seat in a modern stadium than you do to stand at belle vue?

do you seriously believe that the north stand should cost more than the south stand?

No one's asking to pay less. Everyone's wondering why the tickets allocated for the "away end" cost 4 quid more - 6 if you buy on the day.

Do you seriously expect all away fans to turn up without tickets on the day and get into the north stand for 19 quid? Shabby attitude from what used to be a decent, but is now a shabby club.

No, and I've voiced my opinion to my club, however people on here are complaining about the price

I guess it's better to have once been decent rather than always shabby.

As for your point, the club owner is more bothered about keeping the large number of home fans happy than worrying about the small number of away fans who turn up at the KC.

Maybe the price differential is down to the actual cost of opening up a stand that holds 4000 for 300-400 people from wakefield?

Once again, for the hard of thinking - some people object, on principal, to being charged more for exactly the same view and seating arrangements, simply because they're 'away' fans; as such, some will choose to stay at home this season - that's their prerogative and is entirely understandable.

Sniping about our ground from the lofty position of lodging with a football team at the whim of a wealthy backer is unwise to say the least; anything could happen.

By the way - I've never seen a post from you that was worth reading. Just saying.

Indeed. I doubt you ever will either. He's well known for it.

The fact is that football and rugby clubs are no longer dependant on paying supporters through the gate they make more via Sky etc etc who I have to say have knacked both sports give both back to the working man/womem
