| Pat should be back this week. He got injured in the wire game, missed salford, played 30 mins against saints before pulling up. O'Loughlin should also be back for wigan this week. Unsure about Lee Mossop though.

| Quote: Woody_woody "Don't know why us northerners get such a bad reputation for being tight. It's an extra £4 FFS - we're hardly being asked to re-mortgage! It's £3 more than it would cost to stand up at Wakefield. Think people are just looking for an excuse not to go. Bet majority would still go if it was Saints/Wire who had implemented a similar pricing policy.'"
Not sure if you have noticed but Hull is on the other side of the country...

Precisely my point! It's an excuse not to make the inconvenient trek rather than a matter of having to pay £4 more than the home fans.

| I won't be going on principle. If home and away fans were paying the same price the actual cost wouldn't be an issue but I refuse co-operate with the unfair pricing policy which goes totally against the ethos of the sport. Even Premier League teams aren't allowed to get away with charging more for away fans. Premier league guidelines say that away fans should be charged no more than home supporters sitting in similar areas.
My stance would be exactly the same if Leigh implemented a similar price structure, nothing to do with the distance as I've always enjoyed trips to Hull. Trying to suggest that Wigan supporters are welcome in the home sections is a little bit out of order as well. I'm not disputing we wouldn't be allowed access but I would much rather sit with my fellow supporters than risk putting my kids into a potentially confrontational situation. I'm not tarring all Hull fans with the same brush here by the way, but society is crumbling around us at present and the chances of this happening aren't insignificant these days.

Well said
Its exploitation and discrimination against away fans, why should i travel for four hours and pay more to watch the 'same game' at the 'same stadium'?
This was discussed on Super League Back Chat and they didnt seem very impressed either. The new concept of your owner...
Lets put it this way, i pay £13 concession at Wigan to sit in the South Stand on Good Friday the first ever derby at Langtree Park Saints admission structure doesnt allow mature students a discount therefore i had to pay £18.50 for my ticket, thats fine as it was a local derby and a historic first game. The point is this - Hull FC are asking £19 for a concession ticket and requires me to travel for four hours incuring another cost.
As discussed on Super League Back Chat even though clubs are individual businesses we need some standardisation across the board at all clubs set prices strucutres for adults, children, oaps, students, unemployed etc. The only issue is the standard of the stadia, in this repsect Hull and Hudds are up there with other 'Yorkshire' clubs floundering i.e Wakefield, Cas, Hull KR.
If people want to go and support thier club at Hull, fair play to you, i wont be going until this is rectified.

AFAIK you can pay on the gate and I believe the £25 is the 'on the day' price.

| Quote: stusavage "Great contribution -
Why do see the need to make personal remarks. As has been mentioned numerous times the prices are not set by the fans, so obviously cannot do anything about them. If its a real issue for you, I suggest you contact the club direct and let them know your feelings.
