I've just queued for 2 hours and moved about 10 yards up the queue. People in HKR fleeces, presumably from the shop, told us that Hull FC had only sent half the ticket allocation. They were taking names & addresses for when the tickets do arrive, but were also doing this at Craven Park too so getting one of these tickets is going to be a lottery. Nobody was being allowed to joing the queue after approx 12:15. The story was that Hull FC wouldn't send the other half of the tickets until they had received a cheque for the first half of the tickets- surely this can't be true?

I came home and booked West Stand Upper tickets on the KC hotline.

Why (Mr Hudgell/Mr Rule et al) is it all so bloody difficult? P-ups and breweries come to mind.

I smell a rat that someone in authority is playing silly buggers at true supporters expense here. Either Hull FC or HKR or perhaps both are being totally unprofessional here- it's not what's expected of top Super League clubs anyway.

They must think the rumours of you being skint are true then!!

But imagine how much more chaos there is when only 1700 Hull fans can go to craven park!!

Why, you all profess to not wanting to come because you don't want your likkle bitty handies to get cold, we on the other hand would take as many as we have season ticket holders and more, so if your board restrict our allocation and its not a sell out, they are lousy business people or thick.

Is West upper unreserved again?

the only reason you would bring plenty to the kc is so you can watch rovers get stuffed in comfort,compared to the awful conditions/view for away fans at caravan park

How much are they?

Yes.

Stop your whining fatboy, have you forgotton what its like to be a real supporter, its really ironic that the biggest whiners in RL about conditions and weather are the ones that incorporate 'in any kind of weather' in their clubs song.

FFS, get behind your club WHATEVER, stop whinging you tart

Have you considered the possibility that this rumour may be incorrect?

I can't imagine Hull FC withholding tickets against payment on the grounds of a few rumours, can you? They wouldn't go to all that trouble without something considerably more substantial or some actual prior experience I would think.

Most likely just crossed wires somewhere.

They must know that the full allocation will sell out, why not send the full allocation & then there are no issues, when there gone there gone.

Thats why I said 'IF'

I think it might be more down to the fact that they have to give us £1 for each one we sell and they know by limiting supply to Rovers it will not stop us buying them and instead give Hull the extra quid.

The only reason would be if they were wary of not getting payment for some reason, so my guess would be that this is just a logistics cock-up or similar. The story going around the queue was probably just one of those spontaneous things when folk are ticked off and looking to pin some blame somewhere.

1500 tickets, its a joke

Well, seeing as for the last derby at CP you took almost 2 weeks to sell 1,700 I dont think there was any chaos at all.

But hey, "the views bad so I ain't going" is a valid excuse not to travel 5 miles.
