Where are you getting £4 from? Forget all this pre-pay rubbish, the fact is we as away fans are being asked to pay a walk-up price that is £6 more than what you as home fans are having to pay.

I'm personally glad that Leeds don't feel the need to discourage away fans from travelling by charging them more money than the home fans on top of their travel costs!

And as for the argument about Leeds fans being able to sit where they want, yeah I'm sure the red carpet would be rolled out if a few hundred fans in Leeds colours rolled up to the KC to enter the ground at the South Stand side

No wonder Hull want to charge so much.


[iThe club are not discouraging away supporters from travelling to the KC Stadium this year and will continue to provide one of the best facilities for away fans in 2012, who will also be accompanied by dedicated supporter liaison officers from the club to ensure their match day experience in Hull is a positive one[/i

To provide every away supporter with their own [idedicated supporter liaison officer[/i must be costing them a fortune.

As AFI has mentioned I'd love to sit elsewhere but I fear what may happen.
I took my Girlfriend for the first time last year to the KC and she ended up getting in the Car in tears due to the mindless thugs you've got a the KC.
I'm not just talking about 18-21 year olds I'm talking about fully grown men who you would think they would know better?!
Well this is Hull after all...
My Girlfriend was tripped up and shoulder barged out of the way as we was coming out of the KC.
When I retalited (in hindsight not the best thing to do) the Police then decided to warn me of my behaviour (great policing)

Don't get me wrong I like the KC Stadium in general but I won't be attending a fixture there again.

How anybody can justify the prices not just for Leeds supporters but for away supporters in general is beyond me.

So they are asking us to pay more for our safety because they cannot control their own idiots. I purposefully have not used fans or supporters as I am sure there are many decent folk supporting the club.
Thanks but no thanks I shall be watching this one in the safety of my own front room.

here we go again, look if you want to moan then moan about the price of petrol getting there thats a joke

But a match ticket if bought through your club is £22 whats a coupe of quid, we have to pay £20 to watch at headingley with no cover from the rain, or £30 in your carneige stand for the same view as the north stand at kc, so please dont hide behind the pricing at kc as a reason not to come

I remember someone's argument was that away fans are welcome in all parts of the KC stadium, pay less in the South if we like.

So, under that argument, I'd say all away fans are welcome to stand wherever in Headingley too. Oh and they'd pay the same price for the Carnegie terrace, West Stand or South Stand.

It depends how badly they want the money.... By making away fans pay more than home fans like this they create two possibilities - either away fans refuse to attend because of the cost, thereby reducing the level of support the away team gets, or they attend anyway thereby givng the club extra money. If Hull don't need the money, it's pretty much a win-win. If they do need the money, it's financial stupidity.

If its not designed to make away fans pay more than home fans then why is the stand generally designated as the stand for away fans the most expensive stand in the stadium? Usually a main stand down one of the sides is the most expensive.

We keep hearing on Sky that the RFL are innovaters in many things in our sport - videos refs etc so why cant pricing be consistant. ie We charge say £20 for the Western Terrace so Hull charge us £20, if Weeeegan charge £18 then Hull charge Weeeegan the same. I am sure if we hiked the price up for the Hull travelling fans this matter would get resolved.

I don't think you can do that because all stadiums and clubs are different with different needs and priorities, but it just seems strange that the "away section" is the most expensive in the stadium.
The extra cost put on away fans at the KC is just one of several reasons why I shall not be going.

Another one missing the point by a country mile.

Home fans in the seats behind the sticks = £19
Away fans in the seats behind the sticks = £25

How is this not punishing the away supporters?

Why should we charge you the same as the Western Terrace, when that is uncovered and terraced as opposed to seating and a roof?

I think Pearson should be applauded for his pricing policy. It's social responsibility. he's doing his best to keep people from having to suffer a trip to Hull.
