This is excellent news
Fan power strikes again and of course gratitude and thanks to the club

haha, rubbish! it was wakefield fans mis-reading the ticket information and the wakefield website getting it wrong in the first place!

it was confirmed early in the season that away fans pay £23 before the day of the game and £25 on match day itself, but if it makes you feel important and you feel like you've won a small battle go for it!

Thanks to Agar it's only £19 in the South Stand. We should all go in there out of respect for our new coach.

You're welcome to, and there's nothing stopping you all doing that.

I'm sure we could accommodate the 100 or so of you in the South Stand. See you there.

£25/27? I'd like to meet the brainless oaf who set these prices.

I have supported Wakefield home and away since 75 I have got to the stage that enough is enough I will not pay these prices. I am lucky in I have a good job I am well paid but this is getting ridiculous
£25-27 plus fuel plus program etc sorry but no looking like home games only and if that gets out of hand at the new stadium it will be none
I don’t go to watch football anymore for the same reasons

and here is a key message for the club. i don't subscribe to the "build it and they will come" mantra. if we get fleeced on the rent at newmarket, and this is reflected in ticketing prices then we'll not see the uplift in numbers that we all want to see. fwiw i think that james elston is doing a great job at the moment in getting the momemtum going and bringing numbers through the gates, and long may it continue.

it's a long term plan. cheap prices through membership, and with membership people feel like they belong. over time thier kids will belong too, and their mates and neighbours and extended family. this is how we can build long term by pricing reasonably, and by making people feel included.

hull on the other hand don't seemingly want our custom. £23-£25 is a farce.

Re: Are Hull FC having a laugh???? : Thu Feb 16, 2012 2:53 pm  

simple answer is if you dont want to pay, dont come!

fc, like kr are the furthest clubs to travel to in sl, (after london and catalan), even when prices were cheaper the away fans still travelled in low numbers! every other club has numerous clubs within a short drive, ours is 45 minutes, the north stand costs the same as the west and east, can't blame the club for making money out of little away support that travels over! the south stand is cheaper to entice non season ticket holders back to the game after the last few years of dross rugby!

Would suggest that watching RL in now comparatively less expensive than it has ever been as the cost of watching ` your ` team at home is so cheap with all the special offers available on season tickets. Am I right in thinking that you could but a season ticket for only £ 100.00 this year. This offsets any perceived price increase for away games. This is also the reason why attendances for cup matches are so low as people will not pay the ticket prices after they have been fed on a diet of discounted season tickets. In reality the clubs should get together and get rid of these cheap season ticket offers. The product is excellent, the stadiums are improving, why reduce the price.
