Mmmmm ... so stand improvements would mean less police & stewards would it ?? that cost will always be there , same as at the the kc . at least we rip all away fans off at the same level ( aside from the £1.00 charity charge which we all pay !! ) . the issue my friend is not a lot of hull fans want to grease the palm of that smug get who seems to want to get one over on us at every opportunity . as for the sky yep, glad it will be on i can support my team without extra funding your lot . you will no doubt retort with : we are true supporters & will always come to the kc etc , etc . would not matter if you didnt !! we would still get at least 15000 of our own support & hardly any police costs at all !! face facts , hull kr are under supported & need cash to survive at their current level . i think he should be encouraging us a little harder to help balance the books !!

But we are in profit

and the SMC agreement is 50% of ticket sales over 8000

so if tickets are £10, then you dont need me to tell you about maths.......

I meant break even in the context of making the same money from away fans before and after the proposed price cut.


Is it? I thought it had changed, and nobody ever seems 100% sure.


I might be being terrifically slow here (I have a stinking head cold) but I'm genuinely puzzled by where you're going with this. If something is priced at X and then dropped to X/2, you have to sell 2X to get the same return. Feel free to point out what I've missed.

The bit I don't get is how Hudgell can say he's simply recharging us for the additional security costs.

By my calculations, this extra charge for spectators in the South Stand would pay for 238 extra stewards. I know Rovers have been found guilty of inadequate stewarding in the past, but this does seem a bit OTT.
