Why are Hull charging more for the away stand?

Good question. Is there a qualitative difference between the north and south stand (apart from the company you keep, of course)?

In this day and age, I'm surprised that it's allowed, tbh. Unless there's some kind of membership scheme in operation for all Hull supporters, regardless of whether or not they're season ticket holders, why should away fans pay more? Does this happen at other grounds?`

[quote="Bubbashrimp"]£23 to SIT in a modern stadium with good clean facilities, protected from the elements is a lot better value than £20 to stand on crumbling terraces open to all weathers at your hole of a ground.[/q lAsuote]

No its not bubbba, you see Rugby league isnt about being segregated and a sterile atmosphere free stadium. Its about the whole gritty , down to earth experience, craic and generally enjoying the day out. The Boulevard had all this, Belle vue and Cas still have.
It will be a sad day for the sport when the last of the real stadia is replaced with one of the soulless concrete monstrocities we see popping up all over superleague .

£25 for adults, £19 for concessions & £14 for Juniors + Then the transport on the top... Really can't see there being a lot of away supporters travelling to Hull this season!

Assuming Hull fans pay less, and that away fans are obliged to sit in a certain area of the ground, the point is whether or not the Hull club are entitled to charge away fans more for attending, and basically "enjoying" the same facilities, unless there's some sort of qualitative difference. At the very least, it should be an issue the club(s) take(s) up with the RFL.

I couldn't agree more - well said.

The thing is, there is no segregation at the KC either. If you were to attend a Hull derby game(not that you would have any reason to) you would find HKR fans sat in all unreserved sections of the stadium.
Most away fans tend to sit together in the North stand, but there is no rule to say you have to.

It's a con and for that reason, I'm out; it'll be the Big Fellas stadium for me, to watch Fev vs Batley.

Does this mean they're increasing on the 27th for our game only or from the 27th onwards for all their games? I've never heard of such a thing and reading their site and ours there are 2 different sets of prices. I really want to go to this game but it's a principal thing here, I'm torn between backing the club I love and being ripped off, what a dilemma. Am gonna have to sleep on this for a while zzzzzzzzz
