I look forward to a similar thread next January, slagging Rovers fans off for failing to attend the Richard Horne testimonial.

Hang on a min, as we will no doubt sell our allocation for that, perhaps we may lose our "indignant" tag just for a day?

[quote="Willa"]Hull are not charging more than the advertised price. It's advertised as a pound more.

Anyway, I personally do not agree with the extra pound. I feel that the club should have done a bucket collection. It seems pretty stupid to me to say hull are donating to charity when neither the club or it's season ticket holders are contributing a penny.

Anyway your contribution to this years children in need in the name of Hull FC is greatly appreciated.[/quote]

That's exactly the problem. Hull taking the money off us Rovers fans then giving it to charity as if they've raised/donated it themselves. I think that's disguisting.

You're missing the point. Hudgell chose to charge Hull FC supporters £17 for the South Stand. Did any other away supporters get charged the same? All that extra money was put into Rovers bank account. If Rovers fans are willing to pay £1 extra to see the derby, then, as Trace has said, that's good business - it's a free Market. Those extra £1s are therefore Hull FC's income to do what they want with. Hull FC are choosing to donate those £1s to charity. Let's see if Hudgell does the same this year.

TBH my little coffee bean i think most bobbins fans have missed the point on this one. Looks like Jimbob has slipped a crafty one in and they have fallen for it.

tbh id pay more to see the only derby at KC as there is only 2 matchs between the sides. and allot of fans will miss out on the game anyway coz we only get around 4000 tickets so me personally would pay £50 if it ment i got to see our boys beat fc

It makes me uncomfortable when you agree with me, let alone use pet names.

I reckon the price will be £18 this year with £1 donated to charity
