Hulls tactics of showing the Leeds players the ticket prices just before they entered the field obviously worked tonight.

i noticed leeds supporters coach was £15 for travel to hull! who's ripping who off?

I notice they couldn't even be d cleaning the seagull sh[size=90i[/sizet off the seats before our arrival in the deluxe end.

Thanks for the money guys! You would have thought you would stay until the end to get your moneys worth!

I guess they were trying to get home before the brick throwers came out.

I know. Came home with my bricks tonight as all the coaches had all gone.

Ah well, just leaves more for St Helens

Just a month to wait. Will work on my throwing arm

unless they nick the bricks first!

If it's not on telly, maybe. Congrats on the 2 points. Well deserved.

If the high price of tickets is to deter away fans from travelling it had the desired effect last night. Even allowing for a sat night tv game that was by far our worst following at the kc when I have been.

Do you think the FA cup final has a influence?

No.

The type of fans that travel to away games are not the fickle, easily swayed type. I seriously doubt that a kickyball game would put that many off attending.

We had 12 people on our coach, compare that to 48 last week @ Salford. The regulars that didn't go were just turning up to watch it in the club as we departed. They were mainly blaming the price of the ticket for not going.

Bless 'em. What idiots.

So people are idiots for not going to an away game because it was too expensive?

No.
Sat night tv game will have put a few off. Bank holiday may have accounted for some that were away for the weekend but price of tickets certainly will have been the cause of plenty of fans giving it a miss.

Saturday night. FA Cup final on immediately beforehand. Early into Bank Holiday weekend. On Sky. These will have been the main contributory factors. Had the tickets been £19, people would still have not turned up in significant numbers. The timing of the game was shocking.

As an FC fan I find the away pricing shocking, but at the same time (and because I am an FC fan) I am forced to shrug it off, whilst offering suggestions.

I do have a quick question though in that, if the price difference was closer would the anger be less? I could be wrong, as a season pass holder I'm not sure, but I believe that the home end last season was charged at £22 walk up. So the price difference is less, pre-bought only a pound.

The increase in the North stand might partially be to offset the reduce in pricing for un-reserved home seating. Probably not, but there you go.

[size=50As a Rugby League fan I would suggest, as I started doing when I first saw the pricing structure, that away fans buy in advance in the home areas. Particularly in the Family sections (as a family group (2 adults, 2 juniors)). Chances are the stewards will move you to the away end anyway (at no extra charge, bonus). Sorry this was too late for your lot, it is on here somewhere else.[/size

No matter how many FC fans offer explanations as to why it's so expensive, and alot critisising away fans for not showing up one main fact remains.


The away end at the KFC is the most expensive stand in super league.

Go on most boards and you prob find a thread of your pricing structure, you are effectively forcing away fans to stay at home.

From my point of view the anger is not the £25 price (although I think that makes it one of the most expensive if not most for away fans behind the sticks) but the disparity between the price for home fans and away fans in like for like positions

Is it?

Behind the posts for away fans I think it is

That might be the case but its not the most expensive stand in SL then?

Anyway, hopefully the club will raise the south stand buy 4 quid and get rid of the 2 quid pre sale fee for the north next season.

Have any Loiners who bought pre-booked tickets approached Hetherington and asked him to refund them the £2 Leeds trouser for the sale?
