absolutley agree kk, i wasnt saying that it made me better, if i never had a pass i would hardly go at the prices they charge on gameday, that was the point i was making

I understand and was certainly not having a go at you.

Given the quality of entertainment being served up in the last four years I am suprised it has taken fans as long as it has to wise up and choose matches. The gates have held very well to date and are only recently showing signs of a major drop off. I paid £22 for the South stand and ok I can afford it having a few kids, a wife, drinks and food to pay for and it would have been a none starter when I can go to Brid for a day and have change.

The financial hardship has not fully hit home yet, yes that does mean worse to come a lot worse. When it does the gates/takings of every sports/entertainment based company will be squeezed hard as people make clear choices on the dwindling money at there disposal. I am sure that FC will have the situation in hand and will I am sure take decisions based on a lower fan base takings. I think Sky will also squeeze the SL as much as it can and the deal we have currently will either be as is or at lower level . The game as a whole is facing a very uncertain future and the pressure will be on to trim the league back again to twelve teams fairly quickly.

Clubs that can not adapt to having less money will suffer badly and some will go to the wall. We will all just have to get used to seeing lower attendances and as part of that perhaps closing a stand down if it means we save money. Many of us remember being at the Boulevard with around 3k supporters and more atmosphere then there was on Sunday, its not the end of the world.

In my defence Kathy,its only the second time I have done it.I was a season pass holder until this season,the reserved only seats putting paid to that.If we were serving up decent rugby each game there is no way I would not go,but as I said earlier,taking into account petrol ,entrance fee and the bridge,plus the fact I have paid for Sky the temptation to sit on the sofa was too great.

I would have come over if it had not been on SKY.
It saves quite a bit of money as Hull FC charge £5 more to get in, plus the fact that it costs an extra £25 in fuel to drive over, and then bus fare from the park and ride.
So my choice was make use of my SKY subs or spend £50 - £60 coming over. No brainer.
It is your home support you should be having a go at.
