I'd have no problem with paying an extra £1 that goes to charity but, as Willa said, for Hull FC to claim it's THEIR donation when they're adding it to the ticket price is a complete joke!

Have they actually done that anywhere? Or was Willa just floating a 'what if' scenario?

Maybe you ought to check facts before going off on one? Just a thought.

Do you not think £1 from all tickets purchased would have been a better gesture from the club than adding it to the ticket price?

From the Hull FC website:

All other tickets will be subject to a £1 increase for this fixture only. This extra £1 will be donated to the clubs charity of the year Children In Need. This fantastic charity will reinvest this donation back into our local community.

Note "The clubs charity of the year," not "the fans of Hull FC and Hull KR's charity of the year".

I'm not saying I have a problem with paying an extra £1 for charity, I just think it's a bit strange to add to the price of a ticket instead of cut into their own revenue.

clubfoot fc, grow up.

I'm right though, The simple way to avoid controversy would have been for hull fc to double the usual price of south stand tickets and give the extra money to C.I.N. then neither set of fans could complain about unfair ticket prices

Yeah they picked "Free the Melbourne One!" as their charity.

But they don't know if IT is "the fans of Hull FC and Hull KR's charity of the year". Our choice might be a different charity.

And personally i would charge Rovers fans an extra £10 to visit the KC.

No, you'd make the basic North Stand price 30 quid and "discount" all the other teams.

And that would be your prerogative, exploit an opportunity to make a greater return on the gates. But would you send all of the extra gate money to charity and claim it as your own donation?

has anyone actually said they are "going to claim it as their donation" or that they wont match it? or is it just knee jerkery paraonia?
