Perhaps that explains your dropping gates.

Hull's pricing policy for away fans is poor, it gets tiresome reading all the posts about it and personally I hope they change it for next year. North stand should be same as South on a pre-purchase basis with a couple of quid more for paying on the day. Regarding the pre-purchase offer endiing a few days before the game this practise not only operates at Hull. Hull website normally issues a message such as "only two days left to buy tickets at discounted price"

The system for increasing prices on the day is one that operates at most clubs anyway, nothing unique to us there, if you don't want the price hike then buy in advance.

For what it's worth I don't agree with the pricing structure, I can see why away fans complain about the difference, but we don't benefit from the offers other clubs put on for their home fans such as your season tickets or the broncos 4 games for £30 deal, you don't hear Hull fans complaining about that though. You could charge £10 more for Hull fans and we could give our tickets away for free to your fans and we'd still take more. Bottom line, if it's too expensive, don't pay for it but if you choose to pay for it, then don't complain about it.

just to put things into perspective, bought two adult tickets today for leeds north stand seating which cost £27 each and a concession at £19! absolute rip off in my eyes, especially to sit in a stand that is crumbling around you! it was our choice to sit as we're fed up of standing in the rain at headingley every season though!

Daft lad. The North Stand at Headingley is a great old stand, full of character and history, and most importantly it's full every week unlike your library of a stadium. As for the statement "crumbling around you", what a fool.

I can only assume that post was tongue in cheek otherwise it was laughable!

"Great old stand" roughly translated means old, dilapidated and awful facilities. You also get to pay the highest price for any super league game (£27) for the privilege.

Oh btw, it's easier to fill smaller grounds, just a thought.

You can tell we're playing Leeds this week, even if you haven't seen the fixture list.

leeds owl comes along and gives us a load of old flannel trying to be provocative = Leeds v Hull FC. and he will almost certainly bite and give some more old crap as a response
