Far Superior than Wigan and Wire? How? I agree it is better than Leeds and as I haven't been to Saints new ground I cannot say either way but it does look a great stadium from the pics.

Other than Wembley, it's the only true "bowl" in Superleague, with no corners open to the elements. Seating with leg room and space for even the fattest posterior. Plenty of toilets, great facilities for wheelchair and ambulent disabled, plenty of food/beverage outlets, car-park facilities within easy walking distance, an excellent park-&-ride scheme.

Apart from the "bowl" that sounds like a lot of other stadiums really. Also isn't Saints new stadium a "bowl"? I dont see the big deal in the bowl really anyway, I really enjoy going to Wigan and the view from the seats are good. Also at wire you get a really good view from the away end.
I will say the KC is nice but it's nothing special

Come off it. I'm sure most Hull fans are very nice but there is definitely a minority who would ensure away fans were not welcome in the South Stand.

Secondly, it is not the same price.

Thirdly - I thought Hull were determined to improve their image, make themselves a more friendly club and aim for sell out crowds? Your "like it or lump it" attitude on this thread is not exactly helping, is it?

Quote ="cod'ead"Similarly there is nothing preventing any away fan from sitting in our South Stand at £19 [uubt most on here prefer to moan about paying the same price as last year[/u'" Same price as last year then? At least that's what Adam Pearson said: www.warringtonwolves.org/on-the- ... -hull-4642 Looks to me like adults have increased by £1 whilst concessions and juniors by £3 and £2 respectively. Have they increased the prices by the same in the home stands this year?

And your bleating on an internet forum is doing what?

"bleating" ?! I've posted one reply onto a discussion thread. I notice quite a few people on this thread state they were going to take it further and contact the club and/or raise the issue at a fans forum. As a result, Hull have issued a statement attempting (but failing) to defend their position. Not a great result in this case, but don't think that discussing something on an internet forum can't lead to action - it often does.

You've done it 32,000 times - maybe you can tell us.

I emailed the club before they put out the statement, i didn't get a personal reply but the statement was enough, to be honest i was going to write down the reply i thought i was going to get before i received it as i was certain how they'd word it AND they didn't let me down. Then AP comes out with "i don't know where people pulled out the £25 figure"
Maybe that's because if i walk up i pay £25, rocket science it isn't. He says prices are in line with other clubs yet off the list i compiled the average price is £19 so actually he's wrong again.

The worrying thing is that cod'ead comes across as reasonable enough on the Hull board, imagine if any of the others escaped the pen.

I'm also amused by the idea that 'there's nothing stopping' Warrington fans going into the South Stand - it's been acknowledged over on the Hull board that the stewards would put a stop to it. Trips to the magnificent bowl stadium are characterised by elderly chaps with high blood pressure screaming abuse at anyone who looks like they may be from a different gene pool, so I can only imagine the camaraderie of sitting amongst the home contingent.

And again: how much does it cost an away supporter to sit at the HJ?

£21 (Behind the sticks) in the East stand. Concessions £13.50.

Isn't the East stand the home stand? So how much is seating at the away end?

The East stand is open to anybody.

If you class the West stand as the away end then it's standing (Nothing to stop you sitting on the floor though)

As is the South Stand at the KC



So, if I visit as an away fan and I want to sit down (in a seat), as close to my fellow-away fans as possible, how much would that cost me?

No one falling in to your trap?

I'll put a stick in it so no one does then

You want someone to say it's 26 and a half quid and then you go nah nah that's more expensive so that you can feel all superior without failing to take in that

a) The North Stand is a dedicated HOME stand
b) It's Warrington's Premier stand

The West stand is the away stand, it's standing, if you want to sit down you have a choice.

The cheapest available tickets include the away fans unlike at the KC were the most expensive tickets are for away fans.



The cheap tickets at Wembley are 21 quid but what if i want to sit next to Prince William, how much would that cost me?

Cost you nothing if you sit on a Toilet seat!!!

And the cheapest price for an away supporter at the KC is exactly the same as the cheapest price for a home supporter at the KC. You just sit in the same stand

Not if i want to sit "as close to my fellow-away fans as possible"

cant really see the problem here,i was going to attend this match with three fellow fans but after seeing the prices decided not to.Its their ground and they decide who pays what as a fan you have a choice to attend or not and if to purchase refreshments whilst there.

Hang on, isn't it an all seater stadium?

For me the point is that Away fans who come to the HJ have 3 options of where they watch the match from, the most expensive being £26 in the North stand and the cheapest is to stand in the West with seats in the East being priced between the 2, so away fans coming to us have a cost choice.

But away fans going to the KC only have one option and that is expensive

£19 for a lad my age(16) is too much to pay when I'm at college and only have £25 a month to spend on whatever I want.
If i was to go to Hull on a student ticket, and to pay for my bus then i'd have gone over my monthly allowance.

Thank god i look young and can pass for junior!

Since when?

I assumed the HJ had a mix of standing and seating. Or are you having problems comprehending the post that you quoted?

Wrong!

Away fans can sit in the:

South stand - £19.00

The East stand - £23.00

West stand - £24.00

North stand - £23.00

There is no enforced segregation at the KC for rugby matches
