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.

Because you are not getting any repeat customers. Simplez.

You were in the North stand. If you had gone in the south stand it would have cost you £10 because its such a crap view. Guess how much they charge us?

Because, simply put, we've been and we don't want to go again until things change. Only a lunatic does the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

I think I'm leaning on an open door there.

But but but they dont need the money do they....if i was us...next derby at KC i would charge em £30...see how they like that.

Yes but this debate is regarding the south stand, you were in the north stand.

I have to take side with the Hull fans on this one. I would NOT pay £20 to watch a game from our southstand, infact I doubt I would pay £10, not when I can watch it from the comfort of my own home or in the pub(which will probably have a better atmosphere than the southstand).
Fans from ALL of the other clubs are coy to just how poor the view is from the stand is and until we vastly improve our away facilities the club have to realise that away supporters wont want to come to CP. I know that there are people who will say that wakey and bradford have poor away stands, the point is at wakey you are tight up against the pitch and at bradford you are set back a bit but are high up , hence at both grounds you still get to see the game. you cant even see the in goal area from our south stand due to the advertising boards!!
Had this game not been on t.v then i think it would probably have sold out.

Because last season was when KR put the price up for FC and no one else.

And I, like many others had already bought tickets for the game before we knew prices had been increased.

I think everybody is of the same opinion - were not getting RIPPED OFF again for that view in that dump!!!

I have never stood on in and never will but those that have only seem to it the once



You have run out of mugs.

To be honest if we where running red hot and this would give us the title I still would not go, KR ARE RIPPING US OFF and I think most fair minded KR supporters can see it for what is as well.

900 places you can not sell to your own fans or even offer a reduction, thats a lot of money lost through greed, avarice and bloody mindedness

Thing is were not actually allowed to do that. We would have to set the price as £30 for all away teams and then offer a discount to everyone but Rovers

A rovers fan with sense





Tbh I think a lot of rovers fans have the same views, however they would rather hop on the bandwaggon just for the sake of argument.

Ohhh, thats a good idea, I hope you've copyrighted it.
