Are they super dooper fans?

The normal price is £18. If your fans want to fill it why would we give a discount? But to encourage say a hundred fans from another club (who maybe wouldn't go otherwise) to go in the south stand we offer them a discount and it doesn't make much difference to us financially, were as a full stand with a discount would.



Because the clubs run as a business and if there's not the demand, as above, we offer a discount to get them there, so we make what we can when we can. Why hull fans? It's because we know you don't have to travel far and you'll fill it, why not make as much as we can? We're not making money so we have to maximise income.
Why would rovers fans get a discount when we're losing money? Outraged for paying the same as any others your right there i'm furious! I'm not feeding you crap about how much more loyal and better I am, I've stood in the freezing rain at wakey, bradford, leeds etc. but I'm just not that bothered as long as i'm there supporting my team like all those loyal hull fans at craven park paying £18 the same as everybody on the day (barring season ticket holders). At the end of the day if you don't like it don't come.

Yes that's about right I would, what about you? In any kind of weather!

Read the post ..The poster was stating He couldn't see his team play ..Fans don't mind getting wet but they do like to see the game

We do support in any kind of weather.....however a lot us us also have pride and draw the line at a pathetic bitter little man exploiting us, and for the record I have spoke to several of our players who fully understand and support our decisions to stay away from your ground and not be fleeced!

So put that in your pipe

Correct. I'm a home and away fan, I've been to Bridgend, Wrexham, Beziers, Perpignan, Narbonne, The Stoop, Griffin Park etc, but would never go to Craven Park. Reasons include:
Previous experiences involving spitting and abuse, certainly at aggression levels above what you'd class as "banter" (this is not to say that Rovers fans aren't subjected to the same at our place, just that it's my choice not to expose my kids to it)
Hudgell's intentionally inflammatory statements, too many to mention but including accusing Hull FC of selling its fans short by announcing the signing of Fitz and Long "early" in his derby programme notes. I can't imagine Kath making statements of this nature in her column in our programme, not have I ever read anything similar in any others.
Hudgell effectively doubling prices for our visit

The erection of a new stand may attract more away fans, but personally it makes no odds to me - not giving Hudgell any of my hard-earned thanks. The only time I can envisage going is if there's a derby testimonial for a homegrown Rovers player with 10 years service. So, unless Netherton gets one, probably hell freezing over will happen first.

I have been to 'every' derby match since 1978 right up until the pitch invasion game; I personally have been attacked at the old and the new Craven park, also attacked at the back of the best stand in the Boulevard, me and the wife had bricks thrown at us in our own ground. But when you have to run out of a rugby ground (and I use the term loosely) with your daughter to save yourselves getting a beating, and once in the car having to hide all colours due to halfwits walking down Preston Rd knocking mirrors off cars in a line of traffic, then time's up I'm afraid.
All this is aside from an overpriced crap view.

To me it seems the Hull supporters are poor and fickle. I have been to the bully-yard to watch Rovers in the past and if the isn t the biggest chit hole ever then nothing is. And I paid what ever the price was cos I am a true supporter..

You lot give my ar$$ a head ache,

The thing is I, Neil and the rest of East Hull dont want you there any way, it makes the songs we sing about you louder and no one fears for their life.



By the way dont you feel stupid walking arround dressed like a negative?

Eh up - the village idiot has arrived.

Really? Maybe 40% don't.

I'm still chuckling at the idea that The Grudge doesn't want several thousand paying customers.

Can't be arrissed to read the full thread...however my understanding is that to offer a certain percentage of games at discount, you also have to offer a certain percentage at full price.

If true, is this criteria met??

I still just chuckle at him!

You never paid, your mam pushed you under the turnstiles in your tansad

Jesus wept, our council have decided providing entertainment for people like you is far better than improving estates/homes, retaining jobs, and cutting public services.....

Mind boggling

Completely agree apart from the going to a testimonial bit

You don't for most games do you.

No they haven't. You are conflating different issues.


Going back a few posts, we can't say that most games are discounted and the exceptions are the norm.

Whats this got to do with being ripped off by a bitter individual?

Point number 1, if you went to The Boulevard, you paid the same as any other fan did to see the game.

Point number two, The Boulevard was no Camp Nou, but you could at least see the pitch



Regarding rovers fans fearing for their lives.



Did this one get a fatal compound fracture of the foot from that nasty mans head?

If ever there is a sickening picture of the ugly face of R.L.,then this one is it.

Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better than resembling a used tampon

You beat me to it but i will add to it.....With the smell of a used tampon too.

i agree, the price should be the same for all sets of fans, personally i dont think you can justify changing the prices per club, certainly not £8 difference.

another point, when i take my son to away games he gets in free with his pass, yet when we go to Hull, if hes not one of the first 100 to turn up for his ticket, its a tenner. do Rovers do this to young Hull fans?
