| Stupid system of having no operators on turnstiles. Not just at the KC. Apparently happening at other sports grounds with the same scan system. Supposedly intelligent people think they can save a few bob but I wonder in reality how much clubs are losing. Adam Pearson has already said this is a make or break year for us financially. Then you read this. I hope the club or SMC get their act together and tighten up on this. I'm a season pass holder or club member as its called now, Im not a fan who gets annoyed at low price initiatives or giveaways at certain games to get new fans or get fans back BUT I am severely ed off at this, Shafting of the club I love

| And to the people doing it. Don't ever come on here saying this player or that player isn't giving 100% you have no right.

| Adult using a child ticket is pretty obvious and can and should be easy to spot by one steward per bank of turnstyles.
Concessions are a bit more difficult, they are issued for a number of reasons. Student, OAP, disability etc and challenging this is more difficult, sensitive and time consuming. There ideally should be a way of limitting the ability to buy a ticket.
We have manned turn styles but I bet very few are ever challenged by the operator for a number of reasons

| its a minority and IMO the fault of the SMC for "false" cost cutting. You dangle a carrot in front of peoples faces they will take it. It's human nature and no matter how much people love the club, Hull is not an affluent place and if people can save a few quid they will
Personally, I have not seen or heard of anyone doing it at FC but it's rife at City

| Quote ="Cherry_Warrior"Sir i applaud your morals regarding your club but even though you try and justify it on a level of who needs money more your argument is still flawed. People download music illegally, taking money from artists, bands, producers, companies etc in the process because they can. It can be done.
My computer has all the best and latest spyware, registry cleaners and driver boosters etc on it. I haven't paid a penny for them, i downloaded them and downloaded illegal serial keys to work them thus taking money out of the pockets of the makers and sponsors.... because i can and it can be done.
People opt to stream sky on their computer taking money away from every sports club they show. I am currently watching Liverpool v Man City in HD on my skybox that cost me £16 subscription for a year on a signal i take from Ireland on a scrambled I.P. Why?..... because i can and it can be done.
I sometimes go to the hot deli counter at the supermarket, buy a couple of sausages or something, eat them on the way round and kick the packaging under the shelving units so i don't need to pay the £2 or £3 it would have cost me extra. Yep you guessed it, because i can and it can be done.
If i need something new that i can get from work and it would only cost 50p in a shop i will still nick it from work.
Conclusion :- If somebody can get away with saving a few quid, even if it is un-moral they will do it. Sports clubs are a lot wealthier than somebody on £15,000 or so a year and can take the hit better. Robin Hood wasn't a million miles off. If people can get away with it they will do. It's up to the firms, companies, sports clubs to find a way of stopping it.'"
That's some confession. I'm not sure we want your sort of riff-raff on this forum, so you're banned.... because I can and it can be done.

| Why not have turnstiles for juniors only?
Surely the system could then prevent anyone with a junior ticket using the adult turnstiles?

| Great idea for junior turnstile as it would work (man in front of me got turned away due to trying to sue a junior ticket)
This thread has amused me people people robbing the club ,well this club have been robbing the fans for years with false promises and lack lustre displays so its a bit of karma, i wonder how many fans thought last nights display was worth £25 ? Last week certainly was but this weeks display was worth way less

Odd how an exciting game with the result in doubt until the very last minute is deemed to be not worth the entrance money.

A particularly stupid analogy. You cannot justify fraud.

exciting ? I found it frustrating the way we kept running sideways with very little go forwards apart from a 15 minute spell, also the way Wigan only had to go down field throw the ball wide and score.to me that was not exciting it was dour from Hull.ps I paid £21 for my ticket as I bought early as I always do.

My mate was the only person I ever saw fail to gain admission to Boothferry Park through the junior turnstile. I don't think it was the partial moustache, the aftershave or the fag he was smoking. At least half the queue got away with that. But when quizzed they all claimed to be 16...my mate said he was 12

| What really gets me is all the fans walking through to the east from the south and nothing been done.the row we sit on in South east corner is often full and it's obvious that people are just using it as a walk through. I don't mind standing up to let someone pass to go the toilet but its getting to the point were there will be trouble caused as our group and people around us are fed up of constantly standing up for people not prepared to pay the extra for east and the stewards see it and do nothing yet at the end of the game 4 stewards will guard the gate at the front to stop the kids getting to the wall ( the same wall you can lean on in the east ) to get their photos with the players.

Although you need to make money to keep the club sustainable I don't see it as a business from the point of view your projecting , tbh its more like a charity , your paying to watch the club you love/support not paying for a product of equal worth . if you don't think its worth the money don't go its as simple as that !!!!
How you think the club has been robbing us for years is ridiculas IMO

What you said. We must sit fairly near each other. It happens every match, why don't people pay for the correct ticket and sit where they pay for. Just put one of the supervisors there if the steward isn't confident enough.
