I honestly cannot see where the Rovers fans are coming from on this one. Even some of the more sensible posters have completely missed the point and as for boycotting the Richard Horne testimonial, i find that sort of threat totally out of order.

Edited for accuracy

the point is the donations are being made by the supporters of hull fc and hull kingston rovers, not hull superleague ltd. and that is what the fuss is about!

Fair do's

If you read my post again you'll see I put 'sadly' it might affect Horne's testimonial game. I've been supportive of the lad, he's come through a lot, but if Rovers fans don't come to this game it will be down to your own club.

Well said (other than the bit at the start about Trace being the best poster on here)

Spot on!

So thats your only gripe?????

Don't you think you're being a little petty???

So why is it your club increases their ticket prices for your home derby game and pockets the difference but when our club increases theirs and gives the difference to charity there is an east hull outcry !!!
You lot are astoundingly blinkered sometimes !!!!

at the end of the day i could'nt give a tos$ if im sat at the kfc or on the terraces of cas, wakie or bradford, i go to watch what is on the field! the ticket pricing is getting stupid, you can watch premier league football for the same price as what it has cost me to get in the west upper (not that i would want to). i think £20 should be the top end of the spectrum.

Exactly......


""ooooh ooooh look at little old me I deserve my name in lights for chipping in a quid""







Stop trying to be a martyr and get a grip on life.

Well said

I don't know the ins and outs of that, but since we're discussing charity donations that's an irrelevant point.

Erm why is that irrelevant ?

not really, its a charge the fans have to pay thats 7 times what we are taking additionally from you. We are giving ours to charity, Hudgell pocketed yours to help pay the interest on your debts.

How some Rovers fans can moan about the extra £1 is daft. FWIW i dont agree with us taking the £1, but in the wider context i can see the funny side of some of your lot moaning.

Relevant for me and others.

Hudge slaps an extra £7 quid for Hull fans ONLY, and pockets the rest.
Hull slap a quid on for ALL paying spectators and give it to charity.

Never known such a set of whinging gits in all my life

Erm, because it does not relate to charity donations.

The £1 is an additional charge, just like the £7. Only difference being that FC are then giving the additional monies made to charity as a donation. The £1 is not a donation.

Unless you call Rovers bank account a charity

No, we are giving the extra's away

As ive said elsewhere, i dont know of any charities that operate at the loss that rovers are!

Fighting a losing battle me thinks !!

If you're complaining about Rovers raising the price for the derby match you may have a valid point. However that is not the issue here. If you can't see the point people are making then you're not the only one fighting a losing battle.

We can see the point that some rovers fans dont want to give the £1 thinking FC will take the credit of the donation.

Which is worse though, taking £1 and giving it to charity or taking £7 and spending it behind the bar in Tavern?
