Quote number 6="number 6"that is football, not rugby, and until any rule changes state that rugby must do the same, the club aren't braking any rules, already posted on the wakey site that ourselves and rovers fans have the furthest to travel to all games in SL due to location, not counting london or catalan as the numbers they bring just fill a mini bus, all other clubs have clubs within short distance of each other, fans complaining about the cost of the kc should think themselves lucky! apart from rovers, the nearest ground to hull is 45 minutes away and plenty lay out travel costs on top of ticket costs without moaning! away fans at the kc have always been poor in number, regardless of the prices!'"
I'm not suggesting any rules are being broken! Just that the concerns expressed are not unique or completely unreasonable.
Neither of our clubs can reasonably lay the disadvantages of K-u-Hull's location at the doors of the other clubs, so I'm not sure it is very compelling mitigation.
To me it's a hardnosed and economically legitimate decision. I can understand why it's been done, but also why it isn't seen as fair. See also CP South Stand premium prices for the derby.
This, like that, has failed to slip under the radar. That may or may not undermine the commercial rationale. Probably not, IMO - you'll just have to read or avoid a lot of moaning on here.
