"We have to cover the extra cost of Police and stewarding for the Derby fixture"

Justified? Not for me, if they charged the same as for other away fans then any extra cost would surely be swallowed up by the increased gate receipts of a bigger away following.

Imo, because of their policy on Hull fans ticket prices, they are a lot less likely to sell out that fixture. If there was parity, it would sell out every year.

What a total crock of !!! This is the one and only reason I will not go to that dump as I dont mind paying to see my team but I'm not going to had for a ticket paying way over the odds than anyother away fan to then stand nearer the dock than the pitch.

Why is it poop?

Don't hkr put on more stewards and police for the derby?

Even if it is true it's seems a odd thing to say as he's also after our cooperation for a combined game against St George.

How many other teams in SL increase the ticket price for one set of away fans? Do we do that for the Rovers fixture? No we don't.

Wonder if his books will balance for the stewarding this coming season if our fans go in smaller than expected numbers again then?

Its just a veiled excuse to try and make a quick buck out of the Hull fans.

I knew what it was going to say before I even opened the post.. what a load of crap.

Don't we raise our ticket price by a pound for hkr?

For charity and there is a hell of a difference between £1 and £8......i say charge the B'STARDS £30 for the north stand as we have to put extra cleaners on to wipe the $hit of the seats after the match is finished.

You wont see me putting my foot in that place and to sit on a bunch of scaffolding.

Does anyone blame him? If I were Hull FC chairman and I could get away with it I'd bung up the prices for the dobbins at the KC

Couldn't agree more, never been, never will

And the other big difference is its £1 across the board though not just the away tickets.

I could have sworn in the past Hudgill has said they don't charge us any more in admission, its just that we don't get the discount the every other SL Club gets

Dont we put on extra police and stewards for the derby and absorb the cost? If thats an acceptable excuse to charge extra i'd like to recommend we charge the rovers fans £30 per ticket for the derby next year.

I don't know I never seen our board say so.

But if we do then yes it would be justified.

Supply and demand. My suspicion is that halfing the price at CP wouldn't double the number of Hull fans that would come/could fit in. £30 at the KC might well knock >30% of the number HKR take there.

Then you'd be cutting your noses to spite our faces. Well not mine. It'd be much easier for me to get a ticket and the main cost for me is the travel - an extra 10 bob for you and that nice Allem chappy wouldn't be the end of the world, being selfish.

i suggest none of us go & give mr hudgell less of a headache then !! it's done to cream off the hull fans due to us being close & expected to go in large numbers & he recieves a bigger pay day . simples !! nothing more , nothing less .
