| Quote ="wkred"Hull FC sent half the allocation yesterday which was then split between Holderness road and Craven Park.
Up to 3pm today they had still not sent the other half. Those that queued for a ticket yesterday and had to leave their details will be rung tomorrow and informed if they have got a ticket from the second allocation or not. That's providing Hull send the tickets by then!'"
You see thats what ticks me off, the fact that both clubs try to be as pi$$y as possible with EACH other. Its Rovers banning their Mascot, FC giving only half the tickets at one go when everyone knows Rovers would sell 8000 tickets in 1 day for the derby, etc etc.
For gods sake lets act like adults and show the rest that when it comes to Rugby League, Hull does it best.

But Rovers have been given an allowance of 3600 tickets. Super League rules oblige the Home team to make 10% of the capacity available to the Away fans, that's only 2400.
So, by that we have generously given you an extra 50% allowance.
Not the actions of children acting pi$$y.
In fact, at the first derby at the KC after your arrival in Super League we did all we could to make you welcome. Invited your mascot AND your cheerleaders. Allowed those cheerleaders to line up with ours to welcome BOTH teams on the pitch TOGETHER, the announcer making as much fuss over the Robins as ourselves - the whole pre-match run-up had a communal carnival slant with no animosity.
I believe relations started to go downhill after this spirit was not returned by your club on our first visit to your ground. None allocation of the North Away stand to Hull fans only out of all other teams, the £17 charged for the South "Stand", the banning of Airlie, no joint entrance etc etc.
Sadly, that, and the handling by your officials of the Paul Cooke defection, set the tone for future relations.

And we give you 1700 tickets out of 10400, which equals 16%. Your point is?

Or they new they couldn't fill it if we only had 2400, a selfless act of a kind hearted club, I think not.

no rovers fan in their right mind would pay to go in the Zeebrugge stand, so to maximise profits you gave it all over to FC.

Do you think they'd charge a Rovers fan £10 for the dockside on derby day, or the "Full Price" of £17?
Rovers are only attracting about 8000 home fans every match so it does indeed sound like they never set foot on the crumbling anthill.

Interesting to dsee what you'd do if you were at home against us in a Challenge Cup match - RFL rules state the Away allocation for these games is 30%.
I reckon that's about 3200 Hull fans to 7200 Dobbins. Best stand should do us.

We've got 6000 junior season ticket holders. They're good to the Quarter finals, never mind the rest.

You'd best get those expansion plans up and running quickly or you may find a switch to the KC would be the RFL's recommendation

Whoever it was who started it, and I think both clubs are equally to blame, the whole situation has developed into tit-for-tat actions due to the poor relations between the clubs, which to me seems to have worsened since the Cooke saga and it is us silly b*ggers the fans who suffer! It was a disgrace to let fans (from any club) queue from the early hours and throughout the day knowing that a majority of the poor sods were wasting their time and would go away without tickets. I queued for 3 and a half hours and was at the cut-off point and was told after about 3 hours that from me in the queue there would be no more tickets. I stayed until they ran out just in case they had miscounted but they ran out when I was 2 from the counter.
At least I have the comfort of being told I should get my tickets as I was first on 'The List' but why for everyone's sake can't the upper echelons of both clubs just get together and sort out their differences, a good punch-up if it helps, and then call it quits and stop messing us supporters around with totally unacceptable situations like this. The joy of Derby's is taken away even before they start with these nightmare ticketing problems. It was plainly obvious with the current success of both clubs that this Derby would sell out quicker than most so the full allocation should have been sent in one go.

totally agree mate, if you was in the queue at craven park I must have been a couple of people behind you!
One thing this has done for the first time for me since I went to my first game in 1979, is think about willingly missing a rovers game. I reckon I'll still make good friday but with all this rubbish going on I may well miss my first game in 5 years (including all friendlies) when the dicky horne game goes ahead in feb, he and Hull FC can ram it.

Cheers, yes I was in the Craven Park queue. Luckily some good banter with those in the queue near me made it not too unpleasant an experience but I know what you mean.

| If rovers knew this was the case then why not hold on to the tickets until the remaining allocation has arrived. They know the tickets will sell so could of laid the money out up front to Hull to cover the full allocation.They would get it back in a day. Now they have left themselves with loads of extra work collecting names and numbers to distribute the tickets.

Ive got friends that are rovers fans and they have talked about the incompetence of their shop before, especially in relation to the distribution of their new shirts etc.
Think rather than looking to blame FC they should start to look at their own to find where things are going wrong.
