That is your prerogative. It'll likely be on Sky too, so I wouldn't blame you.

Hopefully improvements to facilities at CP will make it a non-issue in years to come.

When he was asked the question, his first words were "it's nothing personal but...", which immediately made me think it obviously was. It reminded me of the time he was asked if Hull KR were going to sign Paul Cooke. "it's news to me" was his reply.

Sad, bitter pathetic little runt

Here Here!!!

The thing is thou,some of us want to go and support our team.I dont really understand fans who refuse to go?.I admit i have never stood in the Amsterdam stand and never will but it as not stopped me from going to the dump.A few of us always go in the golf stand and have found it pretty easy to get tickets for that stand at the same price,which we are happy with.Hudge is not as smug as he thinks.

Does the swear filter change c to r?

Mmmmm ... so stand improvements would mean less police & stewards would it ?? that cost will always be there , same as at the the kc . at least we rip all away fans off at the same level ( aside from the £1.00 charity charge which we all pay !! ) . the issue my friend is not a lot of hull fans want to grease the palm of that smug get who seems to want to get one over on us at every opportunity . as for the sky yep, glad it will be on i can support my team without extra funding your lot . you will no doubt retort with : we are true supporters & will always come to the kc etc , etc . would not matter if you didnt !! we would still get at least 15000 of our own support & hardly any police costs at all !! face facts , hull kr are under supported & need cash to survive at their current level . i think he should be encouraging us a little harder to help balance the books !!

This just shows he still has that chip on his shoulder and everything slightly aimed at us in a positive manner from him should be treated with contempt. Hudge the Cabbageman strikes again.

For years I had no problem going to Craven park.....loved it.....loved the build up....loved the banter on the day down holderness road in the pubs.....then came along the fck wit HUDGE.

Not only does he try to FCK me over by increasing the ticket ONLY for Hull FC fans.....but the FCK WIT wants me to stand in BELGIUM to watch the match.

WELL HE CAN FCK OFF.....

To the Hull FC supporters who support this.....

ive not been there for years. Long may it continue

The Grudge just likes to find ways to turn us over,thats all.

I hope people do realise that the building of the North stand will be paid for in the future by us.....the Hull FC fans.

The stand will only get near its capacity when we go there.



No other club in SL will fill it.

So, lets fck em up BY NOT GOING THERE. SIMPLES.

You misunderstand. The complaint, I assume is about value, not absolute cost. £18 (?) is poor for the South stand, but you'd be happier, I assume, to pay that or even slightly more for better facilities.




There does seem to be a lot of bitterness. Is it still the Paul Cooke thing? But you do have genuine cause for complaint about the South stand. Unfortunately, it is, for now, all we have to cope when extra away fans are expected. Rovers probably do milk/extract maximum value from it, but that's how capitalism works. Hotel prices in Cardiff will likely be higher for Magic Weekend than they would have been in its absence and so on.



No need to concern yourself on that score. Through a combination of circumstance and laziness, I'm a plastic armchair fan. Just for clarity, it is my fandom that is plastic, not my armchair.



Cutting prices, if that is what you mean by encouragement, would only contribute towards balancing the books if the % increase in numbers in the south stand was greater than the % cut in price.

Read this bit and then noticed your name



I doubt anyone cares whether you go or not, plenty do and when the new stand is built you won't have any of the usual excuses to rant with, it will be down to 'I just won't go to support my team at Craven Park'

The south stand has always been a concession stand, we have charged full pops to other sides (Warrington in the cup I think was one), if you are going to sell enough tickets for a particular event then why the hell should you apply concessions, it makes no business sense whatsoever, I doubt your lot would discount for us. There is a difference between choosing NOT to apply a discount and jacking the price up.

Not if fans of all other clubs pay less.


No. It's the regular crass and insulting comments and statements made by your diminutive chairman at every available opportunity in both public and private.


Indeed. And the concomitant part of capitalism is the right of the consumer not to purchase a product or service which they consider to be overpriced.

You might want to look up the legal definition of a discount and then revisit that statement.

Going to the "loans are us help us build a new shack park" makes me feel like I have been sodomised by a spiky metal fisting mit

So why don't they put the prices up for the KR fans on derby day as well then? Or do their fans not need policing as they are angels?

It's an awful and poorly thought out "excuse" to try and justify his real reasons.

Why would we put the price up? We don't even put the prices up for the south stand, we just don't put them down either!

It's supply and demand, if we expect it to sell out why give a discount, I don't care about the view or weather when going to support my team and don't expect any discounts.
We put the price down for teams who don't bring many and try and encourage away supporters who are paying for travel on top of admission.

Don't try and feed us bullish*t, fella. It's pretty insulting to try and pass it off as that. The fact is it's £10 to get in for everyone else. The normal price is £10. The price for Hull fans is nearly double.


Again, if it's expected to sell out and it's down to supply and demand, why aren't the prices up across the board? Why only Hull fans? Why not a "discount" for all you Robins fans during the season and then "RRP" for the Hull derby? I'll tell you why - because your fans would be outraged (just like we are). You'd still get people to go, but they'd complain about it. Some would stay away. So don't feed us all this crap about how loyal you are and how you're a better supporter than us Hull fans.

Comprehensive ownage there, my good man.

so you would be daft enough to pay and stand in bad weather and not be bothered you can`t actually see your team play

How could they do that when people have already paid for their pass at the start of the season though?



FTR I agree with Hull fans on this, the South Stand should be the same price as against other clubs.

Every Hull KR fan has a season pass?
When Hull put up their prices by £1 for charity, it's across the board, not just for he Rovers lot. This is why these "supply and demand" and "policing costs" excuses are terrible. There is supply from both sets of fans, and there are crowd problems from both sets of fans, but only Hull fans have to pay for it? We're just being ripped off, end of.

We'd still out sing em!......
and there'd still be more of us at the final hooter than them...
