I always wondered if as in football you have to guarantee away a percentage of the capacity?

Is this the case in RL or if you wanted can you have a stadium full of home fans

And the number of total sell outs a season in rugby league is???? Are you hoping Hull fans get no tickets for your ground???


BTW the away percentage in football only applies to FA Cup and League Cup ties. Clubs can totally ban away fans for league games if they like as used to happen with Luton and until recently Cardiff v Swansea games. I think the last football league game no away fans were allowed into was Wolves v Cardiff a couple of seasons ago.

Thats why I asked? I just wondered if there are any guidelines in place

I doubt it has ever come up but I'd guess there are guidelines for the cup not the league

afaik, no there isnt, or there wasnt until the 17.5 million hull kr fans saw a bandwagon rolling through east hull

except – you [i:2aikbh7ahave to[/i)

I always thought it was 10% of the capacity

Or when we went down to quins and out numberd the home fans lol

Rovers 23,897,201 away fans going to turn up at home?

Only 25% of our fan base go away from home?

I hope it is

I believe in the Challenge Cup you have to allocate 30% of the ground capacity to away fans if required. Thats what we are being told in regards to our trip to Barrow.

In Super League though I'm not sure its ever going to be an issue. Some grounds may be poor quality but size wise we don't have too many problems.

It's still as funny as it ever was (ie not at all).

no it is really

(humour them

)

That is correct, we have sent over 5k tickets to Saints for the cup game to them, which could coincedently all go out for free.. but thats not the point.. they still have the extra allocation of 1.4k to be sent over if it is needed, which will be put to the side for them imo.

At least after the slating he took on the Rovers forum for spouting rubbish he has retreated onto here.

Dont beleive there's any but im sure 1500 is surfice Phil

As usual the answer is within the RFL Operational Rules (available on the RFL website).

In the Challenge Cup:
"The visiting Club may request that advance sale tickets be issued and if requested shall be entitled to be provided, in order to sell at face value, up to 30% of all tickets made available for general sale to the public."

In the League:
"The visiting Club may request that advance sale tickets be issued and if requested shall be entitled to be provided, in order to sell at face value, up to 10% of all tickets made available for general sale to the public."

however:

"Where it is deemed appropriate, the Board shall have the right to vary the allocation of tickets to the visiting Club."

I'm sure that the rule changed for league games as well. Iirc, Man City got in trouble by offering a lower than allowed amount of away tickets to Southampton for their last game at Maine Road? Something like that anyway.
Relating to the OP. I think he is bringing it up because Hull FC have only sent half of Rovers allocation for the derby game next month until a cheque is recieved for the first half which I don't think is against the rules looking at the RFL guidelines. It just sounds like the lack of trust between the two clubs is causing this problem

spouting rubbish?

what by stating facts that you deluded lot cant handle



hull kr struggled to attract even 2,000 supporters for games for the last 15 years is fact
hull kr brought less than 200 fan to the (then) mcalpine stadium in 2002 is fact
huddersfield have consistently averaged bigger home crowds than hull kr in the last 10-15 years is fact

hope that helps you flower

So if Hull get drawn away at Caravan Park in the CC, we have the right to take 3000 of our fans to Rovers 7000 home fans.



How angry they'd be to have to up the miserly 1500 odd they usually send for us to view from the South "stand" as it crumbles beneath into the Humber.

Which other stand would we get?

that nice shiny new one with mod-con facilities at the other end??

The bouncy plastic one? We tend to ensure we pretty much fill that by hook or by crook anyway









Interesting. As we have kindly donated 3600 to our nearest and dearest for the upcoming derby as opposed to the obligatory 10% of 2400, I think our generosity should be repaid more graciously than Rovers' habitual return of favour by upping the price of the South "Stand" by £7 to £17 compared to the £10 charged to all other fans at all other games.

And they think we're bitter

Rover charge £20 to sit ,,,,,£17 to stand.....this applied to any part of the ground ,,,,,we then discount the south stand by £7 as we know when demand is not high enough no one with use this area ,,,,,so why should we discount this area when the demand for tickets for this area outstrips the capacity. Not like those friendly bods at the kc who admit they have upped the price for the derby game for the same reason ....as the two clubs seem to go for tit for tat silliness at the moment id expect the south end standing tickets may rise above £17 this year.

that's disgusting
