| Quote It is no coincidence that, as some Dobbins fans say on here the three biggest travelling supports have been either from teams across the Pennines (whose supporters have probably not travelled before) and Cas (who have just come up). It would be interesting to see how many of those away fans who were put in the South end would come again!'"
I agree they have heard its bad but until they actually visit they dont realise just how bad!
Dont get me wrong I am NOT knocking what the club have done so far and you cant make new stands and facilties appear from thin air or overnight , all I am saying is that its obvious why away fans wont come and pay £20 to stand in the south stand

Well at St James's a quarter of a mile from the pitch you won't see any goals, or Premiership teams for that matter!

Expected the North to sell out TBH but I think you may still get a few last minute fans who decide on going in there tomorrow.

Sure is. Can't think of too many grounds that are further away from the pitch? Still a cracking view though, because like you said on the previous page, somebody clever invented stands that go up.

TBH it has always been a real pain to get tickets in the North stand and I assumed it would be the same again this time. Stan usually sorts me out with tickets but it wasn't possible this time. I'm shocked the North stand isn't sold out TBH. Where are all the millions of loyal Rovers fans?

Point is, its been publicised in the media there are tickets left for that stand, and the fact that its not been said to have sold out yet means its a poor excuse not to get tickets in that stand if someone didnt want to stand in the South end.
Also, why does it matter if its a hassle. If I couldnt get a cheaper South Stand ticket I would have tried my hardest to get a ticket for the Rovers end whether I felt it was going to sell out or not

People may have now made other arrangements. IIRC we were originally told we could not have tickets for the North stand? I was always under the impression tickets had to be obtained through other means? We also have the issue of the kick off time and the potential for trouble. As I was spat at the last time I was there under very hostile circumstances (after a mid-day kickoff) I dont fancy subjecting my other half to that again after a 6PM kick off. If it was just me it wouldn't be an issue.
I also think its about time the money grabbing to$$er realised he cant treat us like that and expect us to keep paying.

Kick off time and potential for trouble are different reasons, I was just solely talking about those who arent going just because they dont want to go in the South Stand. Tickets have always been able to be got for areas in the ground, the only difference between the derby games and other Rovers home games is that I think they have some sort of loyalty thing where if people have stubs from certain games they will get priority.
If people try and get tickets in other areas but fail, then fair enough. But if people say they arent going just because of how bad the South Stand is, and dont try for other areas no matter if they are under any assumption, then its a very, very poor excuse

So its not the case we are not suposed to get tickets for the North stand? Genuine question as I was always under the impression we are not really allowed?
Also as I assumed the North Stand would be sold out maybe others did as well and have now made other plans so cannot now go to the game now we know its not sold out? I'm very surprised the North stand has tickets available TBH.

Yep!

| Do we charge Rovers £21 at the KC? All these numpties banging on about prices and that they'd pay the extra, I doubt they'd pay £42 for a ticket if we decided to charge them double.

And made them "watch" the game from the concourse.

Walton street car park is a similar view to the south stand at CP so put them there instead
Onto the subject im glad we havent sold out as hopefully it will teach Hudgell and the rest of the Rovers mongs that we arent mugs and wont pay £20 to watch from that stand and he MIGHT now decide to allocate the Hull fans in the North Stand in the future ( like the rest of the clubs who go to CP )

| I think personally there will be more than 600 Hull fans in the south stand tomorrow. All we've heard from the club, is that there are (or were) only a few tickets remaining, so where the HDM have got this story from I dont know, however theres certainly no proof in that article that suggests we've only shifted 600 tickets. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
