| Quote: Paul T - HKR "My initial reaction to the news about the Good Friday derby was to side with it. I've changed my mind.
I have emailed Mike Smith and voiced my concerns about playing at the KC, they are- poor and bloody expensive refreshments;
- not being able take a beer into the arena;
- and last but not least, a bloody-minded attitude of not wanting to line their pockets.
With all of these points in mind, I have asked Mike to talk to the Board and consider playing the game elsewhere. I actually agree with slammers suggestion on the HDM threads- playing it in Dublin. Anywhere but the KC.'"
Wouldn't purchasing the refreshments and beer at the KC mean lining their pockets anyway ? |

| Quote: Paul T - HKR "nick hkr, I take it you are in favour then! Good for you.
All I can say to you is try standing in the west stand at the KC and see what reaction you get! I don't think I will be allowed into the KC with 4 bottles of lager, do you? You might be happy about the 'beer thing' but I ain't and many 000's won't be either. Don't kid yourself, any money paid to the SMC will filter through to FC in some shape or form.
If it is played at the KC I will watch it on the box (assuming Sky coverage) or a day or so later on HKRTV. I might even be bloody minded enough and think about asking for a refund on my season pass, which I bought to watch Rovers play at MS3CP not elsewhere.'"
Therein lies the problem for RL in this City. The dreaded sin that some of my money might end up in the other club's pocket!
Unless we surrender the right of home advantage and play the game as an away game - no money would filter through to FC - only their commission on their ticket sales. SMC is fully controlled by Allam/City so he/they would be the benefactors.
Standing @ the KC for a derby is only possible when you're prepared to get to the ground early in order to secure a seat @ the back I've found |

Solely for the irritation levels it's causing on The Wrong Side Of The Chocolate River's Tributary, I'm all for it.

Joke, btw. Too lazy to even climb on the bandwagon properly, me.
A chance to buy a ticket in covered seating for a derby - even when the new North is up, that might not be easy. Easter as well, so I can combine with visiting my folks, and maybe my tiny-lugged friend. Double plus good.'"
I'll make sure I am available old bean  |

For the record, I don't care. If it was on sky though I would be tempted to stay away |

Now thats a good point fc would get commission for the tickets they sell so instead of commission on 2000 they would get it on say 8000,10% i think so 6000 by say 15 ave is £90,000 so 10% is £9,000 compared to £4000 so even fc would make extra cash from the switch.

Could you let me know in advance, then I can sit in your seat. I promise I won't do any trumps. |

I have rec'd the following response from Mike Smith on this matter:
"I am looking into this at the moment – so can’t comment either way
However our fans will always be first priority"

Really? if this comes to be are season ticket holders who do not wish to enter the kc entitled to 1/13 of their money back? I paid for 13 home games in my seat. |

I'd happily travel over to the KC providing, of course;
[listI don't have to mess around swapping my ticket
I'll have a similar view, around the halfway line, not too far back
My parking pass will be valid for the KC, again, without the hassle of having to swap
HKR wear the home strip
The screen and PA are under [iour [/icontrol
[/list
There's maybe more, I'll add as they become apparent. |

Why would you not wish to enter the KC? |
