Have a big pat on the back for like for like crowd growth of 2.5%

| Quote: reddan "IMHO I think it's terrible that we charge hull fans so much for south terrace tickets. Until we can replace it (and for me that day can't come soon enough), that stand should be open every game and be no more than a fiver no matter who we're playing.
I also think the north stand tickets should be cheaper. The club should make that end £12 and try and fill it every week. Surely it makes sense to have twice as many people there without even halving the ticket price?
I don't buy all this 'we pay the same to go to whoever and stand in the rain' justification. There is no stand in superleague anywhere near as bad as our south end, and I wouldn't blame any fan for not wanting to go there, especially at the price we charge hull. We can twist it how we like, but it does nothing but leave us open to criticism (and out of pocket by the looks of things).'"
Most rational post I've seen on this subject yet!
I thought about going, but stood on the terrace when I was at craven park earlier this year for another game to see what the view was like and you are 20-30metres from the nearest deadball line. Thats 80m to halfway - at least at squared off grounds you can see halfway a little more comfortably. I decided that if I was on the southern terrace, I would end up having to watch what was going on via the big screen - so I had the choice of £20 + parking, petrol to watch it on a big telly in the ground.
So for that reason, its the big telly at home for me. |

It really is that simple! No hidden agendas.
By now most Hull fans have experienced the delights of your South "Stand" once. They elect not to again.
That's why that "stand" used to be full of us and now it isn't. If you made the Golf stand the Away stand for us as it is for every other team, you'd see a normal Hull crowd. Fantastic business strategy from Hudge and Co. in these times of empty coffers.
Hope all the Club Rovers members are happy to be subsidising his blind hatred.

I understood the south stand was allocated for you as it holds more than the north - no digs here, that's genuinely why I thought you got the South Stand.

I am not sure you can call that end a Stand in any form Trace, it is not even a terrace really is it? |

| Quote: reddan "Don't flatter yourselves. It's not blind hatred, but it is petty and an excuse to make money out of you.
As trace said, the stand was allocated to you because it's a much bigger capacity then the half of the north stand most away fans get. As I said in my post though, it does need replacing and it's not good enough and way over-priced, even for you lot ![]()
So it is not hatred but the prices are much higher for Hull than anyone else for an area of the ground that even you admit is not worth paying to get into.
Who in their right mind would pay more than £5 to stand there when you can watch on tv ion a pub or at home and get a much better view?
This is not about blind loyalty (yes I know KR would have 7000 fans at Hull even if they were forced to stand in Hull Royal Infirmary Car Park and watch from there), it is about Hull fans finally realising they can enjoy the game better from a tv viewing.
The 600 or so who are going to stand in that area are the ones who A) Dont have a TV or B) are not bright enough to realise this will be the third time they will go home wondering who was playing and who scored for either team

You do realise it will have cost up about 7grand foryour fair weather fans not to turn up. In the grand scheme of things a drop in the ocean and well worth ensuring our fans get the best views in the ground.
