| Quote: Paul T - HKR "You have to laugh at the Giants fans, they are talking as if they have a travelling army lol!
Even when the North stand is built they will still only bring 50 or so supporters. Embarrassing or what?'"
Does it matter how many they bring? The point is, those of the 50 or 500 (whatever the figure) aren't coming to CP because they feel they're being golden showered with this. Frankly, I agree. It's an insult to expect hard working normal people to pay the same as Hull FC fans – this just isn't gonna' wash. If 18 sterlings is the going rate for this season and beyond, we'll receive so much negative fan press - it could take ages to recover from - new stand/facilities or not. Our options are limited given our ground works and sadly the south steps are the realistic option for now. But charging full whack is just silly. Previously we couldn't even flog £5-£10 tickets in there.
We clearly didn't do enough research into the Golf Stand move and just like Ben Galea's passport last season, we find ourselves in an unexpected situation. We didn't cover ourselves in glory then, and we certainly aren't now with this pricing structure.
Poor form from us – any away fans are more than welcome in the east/west stand that's for sure. Incl - Hull.

| Even the first SL derby had a contingent of black n whites here and there in the east.
I think those days have gone tho'.
These days there's an unhinged element @ CP - that in truth, are a disgrace to all Hull, never mind anything else.
I'd hate for an innocent opposing fan crossing their paths.

I agree the South terracing isn't ideal - I have stood over there so know what it is like - however, the North 'golf' stand was a very good viewing area yet your supporters hardly filled the middle section?
I went to last seasons FC v Giants match at the KC and the away enclosure looked sp to say the least.
If you want to believe you have a travelling army then thats fine by me

I'm not on about having an 'army' as you like to put it what has that got to do with the issue ? i'm putting MY personal point of view over.....it matters not if there are 10,100 or 1000 Giants fans there, the fact is the facilities and cost for those faciliites is in no way value for money.
its not as if the club would give us hospitality boxes if we brought X amount.
and as for the game at the KC it was played at half past 12 on a sunday live on sky the day the town's football team played at Old Trafford in the play off final ....obviously those issues will affect a crowd !!.

| I agree with the Shuddersfield fans. £18 is a complete joke, We'll put fans off in their droves even when the North stand is built they'll still be put off. Where effectively treating them like cattle who are being asked to pay for their own slaughter. £10 would be the maximum you could charge for this stand. Rovers have known about this predicament for a few months now. Stump up the money and build something till the new north stand is built. Having a good reputation for when the North stand is actually built sets it off on a good footing.
