| But not much more than the south terrace i would imagine, how many tickets do Hull get allocated for the Derby? A fair few less than Rovers do for the KC derby i imagine.
With the recent launch of the much criticised (on here at any rate) members scheme an obvious ploy of getting in quick funds, then surely also it would have been commonsense to charge FC supporters the same rate as every other club in the league for the south stand (and it is worth £10.00 maximum), and benefit from a sell out and the associated catering etc income.
Rovers have missed out the chance of maximising their best home revenue for the season through a little silliness. Not good business in the current times, and unless the south stand is improved( or demolished )this could be a precedent for all fans, Rovers could be in the position of never again been able to fill the current 10,000 capacity ground.

| Quote: Ian P "After the derby matches being either sold out or close to it since there return in 2007 it would seem the bubble ahs now burst.
This morning Hull FC handed back over 900 from an allocation of 1,500 tickets for the souths stand at Craven park. The south stand is the one that is a long way from pitch and very little elevation and FC fans are charged £17 at other matches it is £10.
The main reason given by FC supporters is that stand and the price charged. I know KR supporters will say its because the team is doing badly which does not seem to be correct when we took over 2.3k to Cas and we will be going to KR with less then 600.
The 900 tickets will remain unsold and KR have over 100 tickets left as well, the pubs in Hull will be busy Saturday night anyway.'"
Well done to the loyal Hull fans for turning up. THE END.

Was pretty much thinging that myself. Having had to endure that excuse of a stand for the past couple of seasons, it didn't appear that less occupied other than the extreme ends.
