I'm still chuckling at the idea that The Grudge doesn't want several thousand paying customers.  |

Can't be arrissed to read the full thread...however my understanding is that to offer a certain percentage of games at discount, you also have to offer a certain percentage at full price.
If true, is this criteria met??

| Quote: Kingston Rovers "The normal price is £18. If your fans want to fill it why would we give a discount? But to encourage say a hundred fans from another club (who maybe wouldn't go otherwise) to go in the south stand we offer them a discount and it doesn't make much difference to us financially, were as a full stand with a discount would.
Because the clubs run as a business and if there's not the demand, as above, we offer a discount to get them there, so we make what we can when we can. Why hull fans? It's because we know you don't have to travel far and you'll fill it, why not make as much as we can? We're not making money so we have to maximise income.
Why would rovers fans get a discount when we're losing money? Outraged for paying the same as any others your right there i'm furious! I'm not feeding you crap about how much more loyal and better I am, I've stood in the freezing rain at wakey, bradford, leeds etc. but I'm just not that bothered as long as i'm there supporting my team like all those loyal hull fans at craven park paying £18 the same as everybody on the day (barring season ticket holders). At the end of the day if you don't like it don't come.'" |

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Correct. I'm a home and away fan, I've been to Bridgend, Wrexham, Beziers, Perpignan, Narbonne, The Stoop, Griffin Park etc, but would never go to Craven Park. Reasons include:
Previous experiences involving spitting and abuse, certainly at aggression levels above what you'd class as "banter" (this is not to say that Rovers fans aren't subjected to the same at our place, just that it's my choice not to expose my kids to it)
Hudgell's intentionally inflammatory statements, too many to mention but including accusing Hull FC of selling its fans short by announcing the signing of Fitz and Long "early" in his derby programme notes. I can't imagine Kath making statements of this nature in her column in our programme, not have I ever read anything similar in any others.
Hudgell effectively doubling prices for our visit
The erection of a new stand may attract more away fans, but personally it makes no odds to me - not giving Hudgell any of my hard-earned thanks. The only time I can envisage going is if there's a derby testimonial for a homegrown Rovers player with 10 years service. So, unless Netherton gets one, probably hell freezing over will happen first. ![]()
Completely agree apart from the going to a testimonial bit

If I had the money I'd buy each and every Rovers fan a dictionary so that they could look up the definition of 'bitter'. Taking offence at another's comments and responding accordingly is not bitterness.
The Grudge has made it abundantly clear that he has nothing but contempt for our club and fans. No real surprise that we reciprocate the sentiment, is it?
So there's no problem with FC fans choosing to not turn up then? Cool. ![]()
You don't for most games do you.

No they haven't. You are conflating different issues.
Going back a few posts, we can't say that most games are discounted and the exceptions are the norm.

i agree, the price should be the same for all sets of fans, personally i dont think you can justify changing the prices per club, certainly not £8 difference.
another point, when i take my son to away games he gets in free with his pass, yet when we go to Hull, if hes not one of the first 100 to turn up for his ticket, its a tenner. do Rovers do this to young Hull fans?
