Isn't that a bit twee, considering you defended Bumpy and were in agreeance with him. It's what happens on this forum, you read a post and agree or in your case generally disagree. Up beat, downbeat???? No need for insults, name calling. A little bit of relaxation is required from both camps, we're all FC fans, supporters, aren't we???????

| Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Concert tickets for a popular act are £40-£50'" Indeed they are, but staging a concert is a little more costly than sticking a few posts up at either end of the ground?
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Theatre tickets for a show are £50+'" Indeed, and, as above, the production costs are a lot higher
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Premier League football £40+'" Agreed, and I wouldn't pay that either
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Advance purchase for non members at the KC for a Hull FC game are £21. If you consider that too much for top flight sport, then you are living in the wrong era.'" "Top Flight", I think we're deluded if we think SL is anything other than a parochial local sport.
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "If you go to a sporting event, which you consider already over priced, with the anticipation of reasonably priced and good food then you are also living in the wrong country.'" That's the problem, people put up with it so behaviour never changes.
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Name one stadium in the UK where you would go for good food at a reasonable price?'" As above, it's like motorway services, us Brits accept that the food is going to be rubbish but some still keep shelling out for it.

Is this Standee?
Decent catering? Is this the most snobbish RL post ever? Most people eat before going to an 8pm game, I certainly do.
And no, it's NOT expensive. Cinema is now around a tenner (and the catering is poor there, y'know) Football is £40 and over and nowhere near as entertaining.
Even when we have a "low" attendance, most clubs in the game would kill for a 9,000 gate, or even an 8,000. The club can work on getting more bums on seats with giveaway tickets, but the reality is that the team have to perform consistently to build that core-support to 12,000.

| What I'm enjoying the most about this new Standee alias is that upon signing up he spelt his username incorrectly as "EASTCOSTFC", and now after I assume submitting a request to correct it with Admin, it's now "EASTCOATSTFC".

He might be from east hull, surname coats , and support fc. But then that would mean he spelt his surname wrong !

Maybe it's supposed to be "EASTCOATSTLC"
Takes old coats from the East and refurbishes them?
I missed Standee anyway, good to have him back!!!!!!!!!

Gotten is another word which causes angst. Far from being an Americanism, it's a traditional English work dating at least back to the early medieval period. Gotten, [iGotten[/i, GOTTEN.
You've gotten my agreeance on that. Mmmm.

| I don't think £21 for an adult ticket bought individually is that expensive, however when kids are involved in your family unit it's not always easy to take them (cost) or maybe it's too late if they are young or indeed they'll get bored.
Justifying ££ when kids are involved and things are tight is a tough choice, you can do a whole day with the kids for £30 (bearing in mind £31 is an adult+ child ticket)
The atmosphere when we play great no matter how many turn up is good, when the place is rocking the feel good factor for the fans is brilliant. The derby wins, the Saints comeback, the Bradford playoff and a few more besides.
I think if the team keep producing the goods then slowly some fans will be more drawn to come back. Showing that we really are contenders and being able to replicate that next year with possibly some silverware will really heighten people's interest to maybe renew passes or at least attend more games.
It's down to Radford, the players and AP to make fans feel like they want to come and feel good at being entertained and it's VFM, not just out of loyalty

| The answer to the OP's question is NO.
There will be very few Giants fans at this game.
Just thought i would get that in early before you start going on about the away support on Friday
