Suppose the way to look at it is, are Rovers fans generally happy with the value they get for the money they pay out, on the whole the answer is yes. Are FC fans happy with the value they get, not judging by a lot of the not buying another pass brigade on here.

Simply summarised. £485 to watch entertaining rugby or £455 to watch utter durge, its a no brainer..

Still I suppose you can sit there happily unentertained and applaud the profit.

Or the other way to look at it is that we're talking about 2010 and 2011 prices here. 2011 hasn't started yet so you can't say what level of entertainment or results that will bring. What we do know,however, is that FC won more home games last season than Rovers, which is really what you buy your pass for. Chuck in a far nicer stadium and an extra 13 weeks to get a discounted price and, well, I think we compare reasonably, particularly when you think on this basis a pass in the South Stand at the KC is cheaper than a pass in the Golf Stand at Craven Park.

Winning isn't the same as being entertained, grinding teams out isn't entertaining, scraping wins with a one up drive game plan isn't entertaining. FC are the Cliff Thorburn of rugby league, maybe effective at times but would you really want to have to sit and watch it week in week out.

My best mate is an ardent FC fan and even he'll admit he doesn't look forward to watching them. Just look on your own board and see how many are disillusioned with the brand of rugby your lot turn out.

You can spin it all you like but even you don't believe you are more entertaining than us.

What do you get when you mix black and white... Grey enough said.

another thread into point scoring drivel, well done again mrs B.

The top and bottom of it is that if FC season passes in the gold plated uber mega best seats the world has ever known were £5 and Rovers was £300 i still know i would NOT be heading to the KFC. You support who you support regardless. I'm sure its the same if rolls were reversed, you wouldn't uy a rovers pass at a 5er. Even being the accountant you are and all your usual calculations etc you still wouldn't buy a rovers pass so price, value for money etc is pretty irrelevant. its not gonna make people change clubs to save 15 quid over 2 seasons or whatever calculation you made



a shameful typo

Think you need to edit that or have you crossed the divide..

Hmm, a compelling argument, thinking about a weekend leisure activity in terms of value for money and all things related to Monday to Friday work. I think I may have to reconsider where my loyalties lie next season, after all, thirty Queens over the course of eight months and thirteen games is an awful lot to contemplate...



That's it! phleastyler, our glorious Kim Jong-Il like leader has defected, I'm gone...

I'm not having that. GML implied my calculations were invalid. And I have a right of reply. If you can show me any miscalculations, I'll hold my hand up and admit I'm wrong, but since this hasn't happened we'll assume I'm right until proven otherwise.

I'm not denying people are moaning about the quality of rugby at FC. But you conveniently forget that not so long ago there were quite a few on here complaining Rovers style was predictable and one-dimensional, and the performance away vs Crusaders, for example, was simply glossed over. On the FC forum that would have been slated for 38 pages. Of course no one will be swayed between clubs by this price comparison. But it does illustrate that in terms of facilities provided like cover from the elements and seating,and from a home win ratio perspective, FC are favourably priced vs Rovers. Unless, as mentioned, someone can point out where the calculations are inaccurate.

In your spin you forgot to add the money off the shirts, the half price derby tickets, the discounted play off tickets, the points on the teamcard and the other benefits on offer. You also forgot to add of the thousands who chose to join the scheme who realised and continue to benefit from Club Rovers.

Everyone had the choice to join or not to join, a bit like the hull fans have the choice to pay by debit card i suppose.

The fact the KC is much bigger is the major determinant of the pricing policies, IMO. To sell season tickets there has to be bigger differential between season passes and pay on the day at the KC. The best bits of Craven Park are at a premium and pay on the day for the less attractive bits of the ground has to be more competively priced.

What is the gap between season ticket price match and single game prices for the 2 clubs? My assumption is it'll be much bigger for Hull FC, which just reflects supply and demand rather than moral superiority at either club. If and when Rovers build the shiny new North Stand i'd expect it to converge at least a bit.
