Think you are missing the point TBH. Like I say I decided back in 2003 that I wouldnt go back in there.

Most of the Rovers numpties posting on here weren't going at that time, mate.

thats bull,so if i dnt go 2night im not a true supporter??iv been goin to FC since early 90s and im only 21,been season ticket holder for about last 11 or 12 years and often go away,but due to no friends goin to 2days game i aint goin either,does than make me not a true supporter ??

Don't know if any-one has asked already, but can you now pay to get in the away end with Hull not selling their full allocation?

I applaud the fact that FC supporters have decided not to attend this Derby. Surely everybody knows the reason for this is that people do not appreciate being ripped off by hudgell.
My family have attended 3 Derbies at (NEW?) Craven Park (South Terracing) – with the everlasting memories of the very poor view, disgusting toilet facilities, limited refreshment availability plus –
8th July 07 – Very Poor stewarding, this in my view caused the trouble after the match.
21st March 08 (Televised) – foolishly thought we would be able to see the game on the big screen as well, surprise surprise the big screen was positioned so we are unable to view from the south end terracing & having to endure a severe hailstorm (weather was not hudgells fault but it left a bit of an impression!).
7th Sept 08 – Being stung by a wasp & verbal abuse from a low life when walking back to the car.

In total I purchased 9 Tickets cost of £153 – so hudgell has fraudulently taken £63 of my hard earned cash. HE IS NOT GETTING ANYMORE!!

I have attended several away matches this season but we did decide that this match was a no go even before the tickets went on sale. I wish the team well & hope they understand the reasons for the non attendance.

I've got a spare pass for today. I'll hold your hand if, at 21 years of age, you are scared to go to a rugby match on your own (thought there were 600 other Hull fans going???) PM me before 4 o'clock. You will be stood in the East Stand though.

Do try and get your facts right!! YOU lot invaded the pitch and basically pushed the stewards out of the way.

To celebrate ( not condoning it mind )....and what did your little goody two shoes lot do?
Not a single fan approached the East Stand, didn't stop your thugs jumping over though did it?

Bransholme Red – “Do try and get your facts right!! YOU lot invaded the pitch and basically pushed the stewards out of the way.”

Old argument - I wasn’t apportioning any blame – we both have our idiots – but how did the Rovers supporters get on the pitch – special dispensation!

Come on Stan!! Take your blinkers off. I was stood in the East Stand with my lad and Dad at that game and a fair few Hull supporters came towards the stand flicking the V's and shouting at the Rovers fans so let's not play the innocent "celebrating" card eh.

If they were and I didn't see fair do's, had people shout and flick v's at me before....I just didn't react by vaulting a fence and kicking them whilst on the ground



Stewarding was to blame, hence the charges HKR faced.

Think we'll put that one to bed now Stan. Looking forward to tonights Derby match. It's a real shame that only 600 of your fans are travelling.

Agreed, I have been to every derby played at New Craven Park, not today though.
Not gonna pretend it's because of facilities etc and I'm already regretting not attending ( probably won't be come 8pm

)....family first though I'm afraid and on current form it wasn't the hardest decision.

Fair enough. Much that it pains me to say. The price they are chargin in the South terrace is way over the top.

Bransholme Red............id take u up on the offer of ticket.tried pm ya but i aint sure if it sent dont use this often,would there be no chance gettin to FC stand with ur ticket ????

Can any Rovers fans clarify if any other away fans, or home fans for that matter, have been charged the full price for the South stand this season? If not I think FC should pass the matter on to trading standards and bring it up with the RFL.

Well in the end I reckon Hull had a better decent turnout there then the Mail was predicting (probably about 1000 all in), and didn't see any trouble at all which is good obviously.

Nowhere near a thousand mate, i would say between six and seven hundred.

Ah right, sorry bud (often deceiving the South Stand), didn't mean to big em up.

No probs mate, their doing that enough on their own at the moment

Stewarding was very very poor

christ give hudgell a break he can't do everthing it was abusy day for him yesterday

Now what?!

They wouldn't carry you on their shoulders for a better view?!
