Ok so you like ripping everyone off but are having a season off in one stand.

No, just Wire fans. It's rumoured we're dropping the prices for the home game following yours, until the end of the season

Unfortunately, the hospitality wasn't included in that ticket price, as well you know. It was £60 (£35 ticket + £25 hospitality, for your convenience).

Yeah but the £300k loss will be booked/posted though, won't it. I suppose you might turn it round but Pearson doesn't sound confident.

I didn't realise that the South Stand ticket was cheaper than last year no, I can't remember what I paid to be honest. Of course that has nothing to do with the wider point I made but thanks anyway.

Unrelated point - do you still drive lorries for a living?

Not since 1982

Cheers. I recall you mentioning it during one of your jolly conversations on The Sin Bin and I couldn't remember whether it was current or not.

*puts highly offensive joke about Jeremy Clarkson in cupboard for another time*

It's OK, some of the idiots on there often refer to me as "just a lorry driver", despite the fact that I spent more time at school than I did driving trucks

Rather rude to current, and previous lorry drivers; don't you think?

I do but some still see all that's wrong with Britain's roads as being the fault of trucks and their drivers. All this despite the number of cars on the road increasing, year on year, over the last 20 years, while the number of trucks has steadily fallen. Mind you, easy enough mistake to make, especially if the truck in front is preventing you reaching your destination 20 seconds earlier.

In fairness though, lorries on a motorway are pretty scary, especially if you're the passenger in a small car etc. If we're on the way to like say, Alton Towers, and you're on the M6, lorries in & out of lanes it's not nice. I spend the whole journey dunging it like it's the ending to Final Destination VI. You zoom past the lorry to ease the nerves and when you look in, it's usually a European chap who looks knackered munching a Kit-kat, I'm shouting through the window 'Take a break mate, take a break'*, by the time you get there you're chuffed to get on the Nemesis to relax.

* When I say take a break, I do genuinely mean that tiredness kills, I'm not alerting him that Asda do a similar, no frills, cheaper alternative to the kitkat.

It looks like you were shafted last season as well if they charged Wire fans £21 in advance. They obviously knew it was your biggest awayday of the season and cranked the prices up accordingly. My tickets from Leeds were £19 advance and there was something like a £3 increase for pay on the day. It would cost me 20% more for the same ticket at Hull this season. Adam Pearson is a tool of the highest order, he's spent too much time in the football world to appreciate Rugby league and its supporters. I will buy my tickets from Hull FC direct, pay £19 and sit in the opposite end to the away section. I'm not choosy where I sit to watch Leeds come away with the obligatory 2 points.

It was £5 to park on Sunday, for a friendly.

Response

Basically "We can't afford to reduce ticket prices to our loyal(laughable) fans, unless we fleece away support".

Charging the same(ish) to sit behind the sticks and saying it is to "bring the pricing in line with the other areas of the ground, including the popular East and West stands" where the higher price is justified by a preferred view.

Did you not question the food/drink pricing?

No response to that.
