I can't wait for a few years time when 5000 Hull FC fans say 'I was one of the 600 at CP'.

Persoanlly I think the facilites is a poor excuse. I'd pay £20 to watch the KC derby game from the top of Hull Royal if thats where Rule & Co allocated them.

Derby games are just that important!

stop talking out of your ar$e

bet you were one of the 2000 that were watching your lot a couple of years ago were you not, on second thoughts no you probably wasnt

Er let me think.



Playing shi ite, a view I need binoculars with,even with the aid of my specs,

pay£20...........mmmm
OR....sat at home in a comfy armchair,a couple of beers,and get up during game without "We can see you sneaking out" being aimed at me.

Armchair it is then.

Have you ever been in crown when there's a match a Craven Palace ??? It is rammed full of those "loyal dobbins" that you are talking about. Shirts, scarves, hats and all the usual regalia in order to show the world just how "very loyal" they all are.

Most of them probably don't even know how close the palace actually is !!

Not to mention the coaches leaving from there for every away game, onto which it is very easy and cheap to jump. Do those same "loyal fans" do it ?? No !! They prefer to put on the usual regalia, stay in crown and watch it on the telly with £20 worth of over-priced beer.

You'd pay £20 to sit on top of HRI and not watch the game when you had the option of at least being able to watch it on Sky? Some fan you are

Its the same in Lambwath or any other pub when Hull are on. The same can be said about City. That arguement doesn't really stand up.

I seem to remember certain Rovers fans taking the pi$$ that we had been ripped off and how it was good business sense to charge us more money. Where are they now?

I can understand why some of us Fc fans have not bought a ticket for the derby,,, There grounds a sh****le,,, too much for a sh**e view.

But every other derby we have played at rovers these past couple of seasons we have sold out



I have my ticket so i will be there, I have only missed 1 super league derby between us and i was gutted, you never know what to exspect in these games.

It's not!!

I know the East/West geographical divide isn't anything like what it used to be many years ago, but that still seems wrong/odd in a way to me.

Touched a little nerve there haven't I !!!! Get real !!! Do you honestly think that Parkers, Brickies and all the other pubs within a stone's throw of the KC are full of fans sporting all of the usual regalia ???

I'll give you a clue.....NO

Crown, the Mecca for the bitter and twisted poisonous R&W "faithful", is a short walk to the palace and yet an unbelievable number of your "fans" (the biggest fan base in the whole wide world) are more interested in donning the shirt and singing we all hate Hull while standing in crown !!

Total braindead simpletons !!!!

Probably because people had either forgotten how bad the view is or were standing there for the first time. No repeat customers = not a sell out.

No offence but anyone paying £20 to "watch" the game from that stand knowing full well what the view is like is a Mug IMO and just the sort of person Hudgell is relying on. No offence.

No, but I bet Polar Bear, Vauxhall Tavern, Yorkshireman etc are!











Joking apart a guy I work with said he knows people who choose to sit in Eagle (for example) in Hull shirt, cap etc and watch it on Sky when you're at home, saying they'd rather sit in a warm pub and spend the ticket money on beer.

Just so long as it's this season's shirt and cap and they're putting money in the coffers I don't think it matters. Those people from both clubs can spend their money how they like.

Personally, I like to go to the match although I have only been to NCP once and will not go again until the HKR management upgrade the away end and do something about their scornful treatment of the Hull fans specifically. Mr H seems hell-bent on creating a wedge between the boards, teams and supporters that, until he arrived, was never there so, until he goes, I reckon I'll be one less supporter enjoying the view at NCP. Before H there was a respect between both boards and much less vitriolic exchanges between the average fans of both sides.

I think my team (wigan) took more on a sunday night and live on SKY and we paid £20.

I've touched a nerve? I'm not the one using all the exclamation marks

Wigan, Cas and Warrington in the cup had the best following at craven park this season

So how come the same stand has sold out at the previous SL derbies?

but at least at the stand you were put in you had a chance to actually see the game !!!

You sat in the North Stand though, I think you are missing the point.

I stood in the South Terrace last year and couldn't see a thing. I would not pay again to stand in there and certainly not £17.
