I don't have a problem paying a pound for charity.

What I have a problem with is the club taking credit for other people donating to charity.

I see the headlines now "Hull donate £15000 to Comic Relief" without actually donating a penny.

Any organisation worth its salt would match what the public raised.

Any fool can donate with someone else's money

yes, its £1 extra with that pound going to children in need

have to say i disagree with forced charity, and that having people with collection buckets in the ground on derby day would have been a better option.

In total agreement there.

Yup in west hull it's called a charitable donation In east hull they call it the Derby surcharge and is usually £10 extra per ticket In the South stand.

I'd have no problem with paying an extra £1 that goes to charity but, as Willa said, for Hull FC to claim it's THEIR donation when they're adding it to the ticket price is a complete joke!

It should be "Hull FC and Hull KR fans donate to charity" because Hull FC will be keeping 100% of the ticket money at the normal admission price.

clubfoot fc, grow up.

Have they actually done that anywhere? Or was Willa just floating a 'what if' scenario?

Maybe you ought to check facts before going off on one? Just a thought.

Do you not think £1 from all tickets purchased would have been a better gesture from the club than adding it to the ticket price?

From the Hull FC websiteAll other tickets will be subject to a £1 increase for this fixture only. This extra £1 will be donated to the clubs charity of the year Children In Need. This fantastic charity will reinvest this donation back into our local community.'"

I'm right though, The simple way to avoid controversy would have been for hull fc to double the usual price of south stand tickets and give the extra money to C.I.N. then neither set of fans could complain about unfair ticket prices

I would personally charge £30 for the North Stand for the derby, if in charge

how many tickets sold know? i got 3 today
