This is going to hit the club in the pocket no matter how well we do.[/]
With modern day technology it would be easy to sort out a system were fans can buy tickets online and print them off, they do this on many flights so if it can be used to fly across the world then it can be set up buy rugby tickets.

| Not everyone has access to "modern day technology", and any such ticketing system would probably need to be implemented by the SMC.

who doesn't have access, everyone either has access to the internet or will have a family or friend member who has.
I'm sure the SMC would go for this, as they get their unmanned turnstyles and more money.
Personally I'd prefer that they remained some turnstyles but if that isn't possible they are easy ways to make it easier for fans to buy tickets on a weekly basis.

| Hull city already have a buy online facility where if you buy them by the Wednesday before the game they post them out to you, you can even pick your individual seat, if it's after the Wednesday you just pick them up at the ticket office with a dedicated queue for collectiions, I've been doing this for a few years and could never understand why hull don't do the same.
That said the brother in law uses the print at home facility for rovers and that works well too.

Are the SMC just being dicks to FC or are we not engaging with them enough? Or a combination of both?

Why would he want to retain control of a "loss making" business?

It's probably one of these "you can use it if you pay for it", which doesn't apply to City. Bit biased mind.

Yes I can't think of one person I know who hasn't access to the internet or could get someone to buy and print off a ticket.

What evidence do you want me to provide?
Are you telling me you know people who either don't have the internet or have some friends or family who could do it for them?

Sorry, but you are saying that because you know of nobody who hasn't access one way or another, then everybody has access, which is very unlikely.
If you're happy to use a "friends" pc to buy over the internet using your credit/debit card, then good luck.

Id say that nearly 100% of hull fans will have access to the internet through their own or a friend or family.
Personally I trust all my friends and family and would be happy to use my credit card on their computers.

| Karoo has nearly 90,000 subscribers, with an average of just under 3 people per household I think most of the near 250,000 population of Hull is covered. I think it would be safe to think of the amount of people that are 1) Hull FC fans. 2) Not season ticket holders. 3) Can't get to the stadium before game day - is negligible.
