Does it need to be any bigger if our neighbours only bring 800.

I didn't know about the North Stand tickets being available to Hull fans. Did the Hull shop sell them? Or did they only sell South Stand? Junior swaps were for the South Stand. That may be one reason.
Another being that all the fans like to be sat together in one area (we provide this for you at the KC) not split in to two different sections were they cannot sing and celebrate together.

The only explanation? Or are you just too simple to think of any others? I've given you two without trying.

| Quote: Hull Kingston Bronco "If only the South Stand had space on the day I'd keep my mouth well buttoned, I agree that it is rubbish, as is the pricing policy, and I might choose to watch on Sky rather than stand there myself (only might mind, I've watched Rovers from worse spots...)
But there were probably 500+ free seats in the North Stand - so why didn't all these loyal Hull fans buy those? I've only managed to get an "away area" ticket for one KC derby so far, but I've watched every single other one from the West Upper, which was a mixed area and I bought my tickets direct from FC. If that had been full I would even have "braved" the North East corner if needs be. The difference is what exactly?
The only explanation for our North Stand tickets not being bought by FC fans was because they didn't care enough to support their team. The view is no worse than FC's own North Stand, so don't give me any of that quality of facilities nonsense. Sure, it ain't got a roof but then neither has the West Terrace at Leeds, or most of Odsal. Bottom line? FC fans don't support their team when they're near the bottom of the table. Well done!
Owned.'"
Not really .....did you not read the full thread? The reason most FC fans gave new Craven Park a miss, was because they will not give Hugnel a penny of their cash.
I am proud of my City of Hull, and am a supporter of the FC but I would not give your chairman a penny from my old age pension. See we're not as daft as he thinks -and that includes a hell of a lot of the HKR teams fans too. He would be far better telling it 'how it is' then may be his own fans will help swell his coffers.
I just hope that he made sure then Justin got the pound I sent (got a certificate of posting for it from the PO). I sent it, whilst asking KR fans to help J. with the fine for having the balls to tell it how it is-re his remarks re a certain referee! Mind you, I believe it's been worth it Justin......think it's been well worth the 2grand, mr B. has paid back his dues!!!! bet our lot had realised that it was worth £2000 in the end......grannyfan Cindy

Oh please. The North stand is an OK place to watch rugby. You lot didn't buy the tickets still available there, which means you didn't want to watch your team play Rovers on Saturday. Everything else is just smokescreen or tangents from you. You think we like giving James & Kath our money after the various stunts FC have pulled over the years? Not really, but FFS I'm not going to let it stop me supporting my team against you lot, like I have done since god knows when (even when I knew we were going to get well and truly stuffed). That's what support means.
If you'd bought every available OK seat, but left the dodgy South Terrace as a wasteland, I'd give you all the credit in the world. But you didn't. Get over it, methinks you protest too much
PS: Next derby pop me a PM and I'll post you some sunglasses. Bless.

I never said it wasn't. I just said it wasn't as good as watching it from the North Stand at the KC, something you claimed was "just as good as".

In that case, we'll bump up the price of the North Stand by 70% of the normal price and see how many loyal Rovers fans turn up to watch the game

Those North stand seats where only available at the KR end of the job and last year it was very difficult to get them.
Plus you had a around 100 left and as you charge the same price for all your seats at Craven Park. There is a price hike there as well, £20 the same as the main side price. You lot know how to charge I will give you that its the same price as the KCs North and south stands, except you get wet and it bounces.

Look I don't like giving Kaff and co any of my money either but lifes a bitch, but what stunts have they every pulled on KR ?
Have they ever banned your mascots FROM THE KC ?
even denying him the right to sit in his costume in the stand ?
Have your cheerleaders been banned from the KC ?
Have you every been charged 70% more then anyone else to watch a game ?
Do FC not give you over 3k tickets for the KC derby ?
There is only one club acting in a very juvenile and infantile way and its pathetic, it makes the whole game look bad. The rest of SL the clubs get along and work for the common goal, I suspect that many of them are getting fed up with it as well.
