| I don't care.
I'm paying very little indeed.
Nice comfortable seat.
Lots of good booze.
Full surround sound and a high definition picture.
or £17-00 to listen to a group of braying donkeys having a go at each other

663_1379281559.jpg [b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

To charge £17 to the Hull fans when they routinely charge £10 to others, is a disgrace !!!'"
Thank you
Most KR fans I talk to at work say the same and I hope I would speak up if FC tried to charge KR more then other away fans are charged. The KC is the dearest stadium in the league for both home and away supporters, but the price is the same for walk up spectators.

| The situation is like this:
Nobody at HKR likes having the South Terrace like it is but at this point in time it hasn't been possible to rectify the situation. As soon as it is the plans are in place for it to be sorted.
Also with regards to the £17 whilst been outrageous to charge them more it has been good business as they have filled out the stand regardless.
This year however it has more or less backfired.
With Hull doing so badly and Sky covering the game it was never going to be a packed house.
Hopefully by next season this problem will have been solved.

| What the original carefully omitted to say is the North Stand ( seated ) is available to ALL fans. The fact is that those same patronising Hull fans when Rovers won promotion to Super League ( those who expressed glee at eight easy points in the first season derbies) have become frustrated by their inability to compete in these games and realise that tomorrows game they expect a hammering and will use any excuse not to be present.
IF they were challenging to finish in a top four position and Rovers were playing like headless muppets they would be queuing at the KC demanding more tickets.
IAKOW...my ar$e

| You've ran out of mugs to fill that end. I don't think many were returning customers each game. Although i am a mug and will be there with my telescope

WRONG...I have attended a derby once, I was ripped off,could not see and your disgusting little club charged me and my family DOUBLE to what other clubs pay, I love my club and attend/support through the good and bad times however I and my family are not mugs and will not attend your ground to be ripped off/discriminated against, it is a disgrace. It has nothing to do with where we maybe positioned in the league.

''RALLY ROUND'': |
|
| I think it depends whos playing mate, if its Hull KR its a quid more than the rest, but hey-ho!
Hull were given the south terrace as it holds more fans than the north stand. They give us the 'away end' at the KC so we give them the same at our place. If we gave them the north stand exclusively instead of the south terrace, they would then complain that they are not given enough tickets. Regarding the view, it is crap, we all know that, but I was stood in ing rain at Headingley last week, and have stood behind the posts at Odsal. Now you can't tell me that this is any better than the south terrace at our place. What most Hull fans seem to forget is that before they were given this shiny new stadium, we had to endure years of standing behind the posts at the Boulevard! Give us time and our ground will start showing signs of improvement.

[quote="Wellsy13":1juz9zgo]To us REAL fans, there's no better feeling than winning competitions. Getting to a final is next. Then a top 6 finish or semi-final appearance. Then I suppose the derby counts as the most important league fixture.
Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really! [/quote:1juz9zgo]
SPOT ON!

£24 I think, a price is the constant for every team.

I can and I will.
The view at headingley and Odsal are far far better than the view from your south stand.
