Not sure TBH. Obviously there's an element of fans whose attendance is dependent on form and success, but I think there are some who, having sampled the South Stand, just wouldn't pay £20, especially as it's textbook Hudgell to double the prices just for us. For some it would actually be quite satisfying for the game not to sell out, as Rovers will have budgeted for a sellout.

Although I'm still confused about the continued debate on here. The game is a sellout. It said on your website this week that the fixture is [ucertain[/u to be a sellout, so they'll have to say it is anyway to save face.

Does my first sentance not answer the question? I cant speak for 1500 fans but people DO NOT want to watch a match from the South Stand.
You didnt answer my question?
Wanna try again perhaps?

Thought not....



Why not ask would Hull fans pay to go in the South if Rovers hadnt charged such ridiculus prices for a very limited view.

Methinks you only want to hear one answer.

1) why would you be confused about the continued debate, it hasn't sold out, so therefore is being talked about. With regards to Rovers saying it was "certain to be a sell out," why wouldn't they presume it would be? Every other has been, so you would have thought it was a fairly safe bet. But then again, you have just used it to have a pathetic dig.

2)Why would we have to save face? It's your lot not making up the numbers, so I would say, it's out of Rovers' control.

Still posting and saying nothing then.
Are you a politician?

That's not answering the question is it

Tell me what you want me to say?

A simple yes or no will do.

You can try to put as much spin on it as you like, the fact is, many of you are an extemely fickle bunch of supporters.
I personaly have been watching Rovers 4 decades and during that time travelled all over the country, even when we were in the old second division, and believe me i've been to some dumps during that time.
I've also been soaked to the skin ,half frozen to death been ripped off financialy, attacked and had bricks and other items thrown at me at one or two grounds.
Did it stop me from going to support the team i love to support?, did i turn around and complain about the state of those grounds,vowing never to return to them ever again?, the answer to those questions is an emphatic no, i continued to follow my team regardless of any of adversities or shortcomings, that is what you do if you are a genuine supporter, but i guess you and many of your so called Hull Fc supporters will always find an excuse because it suits you to do so while hiding behind the pretence of been a top club.
The shift in power realy has taken place and if you think for one moment that it will be short lived then think again, with future plans (and there are plenty) both on and off the field, the present shift in power will continue for quite ome time to come.
In many ways, now is like the late seventies and early eighties when rovers were top dogs and Hull were in the old second division before eventualy gaining promotion and and having their most succesfull era in RL overtaking rovers during their gradual decline in the late eighties and into the ninetees, you should remember the old saying,what goes around comes around, we are back and on top so get used to it.
It aint going to change for some time to come!!.

OK here is my rational behind the poor sales.

In 2008 we were 2nd bottom and sold out the south stand the week after Wembley when most realistic Hull fans expected a slump following a tough week physically and mentally at Wembley. We still sold out. The game was not televised.

This year our form is poor, the game is on a Saturday evening in holiday season. Many will choose BBQ, Beer and best seat in the house...sky sports.

As a club we are the only fans to pay 17 pound to stand in a disgrace of a stand. 17 QUID!!!!!

Poor form does have an effect on attendances for sure but there is far more to this then Hull FCs current form.

Finally from a personal point of view I am going tomorrow but not in the south stand and this is my first super league derby at craven park having previously watched derbies from all parts of the ground. I just refuse to watch a game from the south stand again. Simples

So no I do not think the south stand would have sold out if we were 2nd place.

Was that so hard to say?
And I dont belive you as you are or crybaby's

Hull Fc give us alot to cry about at the mo!

I don't understand why would Rovers say something is a certainty in 4 separate website articles when it clearly wasn't? If they'd spoken to the KC ticket office at any point since our allocation went on sale it would have been more than obvious that we weren't going to shift them all.




Rovers said the match was a sure sellout. They will therefore look silly if it isn't. We, on the other hand, were offered some overpriced tickets and many people have politely declined that offer.
The fact that it might not sell out may be a reflection on Hudgell's somewhat disingenuous pricing policy, which is very much under his control, I'd say. I assume you have sold all your tickets then?
