Its the flags that clinch it for me, flags every time, I'd pay more than £20 just for the flags.

Probably not

The flags are good but I would prefer free cake

Cake would be very good, as long as it's not free pie.


Can't stand weeegan pies

A cake, like a flag.

With "Ancient and Loyal - Ultras" piped onto it with icing, passed over the heads of the crowd ...

... until it gets to me.

Maybe a nice fairy cake decorated in icing saying FIOS

Don't like the prices. Don't go.

Simple.

But don't complain about the commentary on the TV.

Fantastic.

Quality thread.

If I buy it in advance it's the same price as the home fans or if not its an entire pound more, meh. But Wigan haven't made the "away stand" the most expensive in the stadium have they? Why have Hull FC? No-one appears able to answer this simple question.

It's not the most expensive stand in the stadium unless you pay on the day, and then - in your own words - it's an entire pound more, meh.

The folk who run FC have identified that the club lives or dies on the strength of it's home crowds, not away fan numbers. These have always bordered on pitiful, with a few exceptions, regardless of pricing. Coupled with our user agreement - which limits what we can do regarding discounted tickets - the pricing structure has been set to try and convince home fans who drifted away under the last regime to return. It's a business decision, nothing more, and like any other business decision it's success or failure will become apparent when the figures are done at the end of the financial year.

So it is the most expensive stand in the stadium, which is bizarre with it being behind the posts. It is done to try and get extra cash from away fans, presumably to help subsidise the cheaper south stand tickets for home fans.

It's a strange system. If Hull wanted to incentivise home fans then they could make season tickets cheaper or do bring a friend for free schemes etc but deliberately increasing the price for away fans is a strange way of incentivising home fans. And away fans have every right to point out the unfairness of the pricing structure. Plus the ridiculous defence of everything & anything Adam Pearson does from Hull fans is frankly embarrassing.

It no longer matters why there is a disparity between the prices for the home and away supporters.

It matter not a jot that our web-toed eastern cousins will vigorously defend this ridiculous policy.

The damage is already done. Everyone outside of a 5 mile radius of the overpriced KFC now thinks that they will be paying over the odds for the customary abuse from ASBO corner and the potential for getting bricked on the way home.

Now when people think of the KFC they will associate it with being overpriced and a place where you’re likely to get abused.

They are now talking about having a protest and writing protest messages on their flags.George Orwell where are you when they need you?Road to Wigan peir or what?.

Well I was certain that even our 6 fingered banjo playing west Yorkshire "cousins" wouldn't be simple enough to think that was anything other than TIC but it seems I was wrong. Hey ho.
