Was going to use the free travel voucher for this but decided against going now. Save it for Wire game I think.

There was a pretty good following from Wigan. All the talk of potentially hundreds of supporters boycotting the game was just hand-wringing by a few posters on RLFans, looks like the same on here.

Thats becuase Pearsoin is a football man tried to bring some football pricing in and its back fired massively. I am a Wakey fan there is always at least 5 of my family travel but not this year to Hull as a matter of principle.

Oh and it will be mentioned by Hull fans well you can sit where you like yeah right. £25 is a rip off nothing more nothing less. Oh and the food is dearer too in the away end if you werent aware

What principle?

If you can't discuss things sensibly lets not bother.

You're probably right there.

Oo - please do... and can you film it and stick it on YouTube for us?

Why do you keep quoting £23?

Where on this thread has there been any mention of 'potentially hundreds' of Leeds fans staying away?

I'll repeat the question I asked earlier: As a Hull fan, how would you feel if you arrived at Headingley and was asked to pay £6 more than a Leeds fan to stand on the Western Terrace?

They've gone up to £25 as of last night.

Do they go up on match day aswell?

Because thats what they cost pre sale.

It ended yesterday for Leeds fans.

Like Damo?

No.

If I had a problem with it i'd either just pay 4 more or stand somewhere else.

I'd also look at why the club had made the decision.

I very rarely miss a Leeds game - maybe 2 or three a season.

I didn't go to Salford last week because my experience earlier in year put me off.

We wont be going to the KFC either as £25 each is blatant robbery. So that's £50 entrance cost + we usually get a pie/burger each so another £5 then a couple of pints each, add, say another £15.

That's £70 of my money that Hull FC wont be getting this year. If there are another couple of hundred people that think the extra £5 on the gate price is enough to tip the balance in favour of watching the match on the sofa then the price hike will be counter-productive.

What was the price hiked from?

So the price is £25 which is discounted for those that have the opportunity to purchase a ticket before yesterday?

Don't remember paying £50 on the gate last year.

If you want to phrase it that way yes.

I must admit 4 days before is to big a gap to justify it, The walk up fee for West tigers is a few hours before the game.
I can only presume it's to organise staffing levels in the North stand.

You keep thinking that, I'll be slightly more sceptical and believe it is done to increase the amount of cash flowing through the turnstiles.

Where are you getting £4 from? Forget all this pre-pay rubbish, the fact is we as away fans are being asked to pay a walk-up price that is £6 more than what you as home fans are having to pay.

I'm personally glad that Leeds don't feel the need to discourage away fans from travelling by charging them more money than the home fans on top of their travel costs!

And as for the argument about Leeds fans being able to sit where they want, yeah I'm sure the red carpet would be rolled out if a few hundred fans in Leeds colours rolled up to the KC to enter the ground at the South Stand side

No wonder Hull want to charge so much.


[iThe club are not discouraging away supporters from travelling to the KC Stadium this year and will continue to provide one of the best facilities for away fans in 2012, who will also be accompanied by dedicated supporter liaison officers from the club to ensure their match day experience in Hull is a positive one[/i

To provide every away supporter with their own [idedicated supporter liaison officer[/i must be costing them a fortune.

As AFI has mentioned I'd love to sit elsewhere but I fear what may happen.
I took my Girlfriend for the first time last year to the KC and she ended up getting in the Car in tears due to the mindless thugs you've got a the KC.
I'm not just talking about 18-21 year olds I'm talking about fully grown men who you would think they would know better?!
Well this is Hull after all...
My Girlfriend was tripped up and shoulder barged out of the way as we was coming out of the KC.
When I retalited (in hindsight not the best thing to do) the Police then decided to warn me of my behaviour (great policing)

Don't get me wrong I like the KC Stadium in general but I won't be attending a fixture there again.

How anybody can justify the prices not just for Leeds supporters but for away supporters in general is beyond me.

I've already said that I don't agree with the walk up fee, although I have attempted to give you a decent reason why its there, I've already state why the South stand is reduced and that if another club were trying to bring back 3 or 4 thousand lost fans I wouldn't be grudge them that.

Anywho good luck, hope you enjoy the game.

So they are asking us to pay more for our safety because they cannot control their own idiots. I purposefully have not used fans or supporters as I am sure there are many decent folk supporting the club.
Thanks but no thanks I shall be watching this one in the safety of my own front room.
