I don't have a problem paying a pound for charity.
What I have a problem with is the club taking credit for other people donating to charity.
I see the headlines now "Hull donate £15000 to Comic Relief" without actually donating a penny.
Any organisation worth its salt would match what the public raised.
Any fool can donate with someone else's money

Really?...
Yup in west hull it's called a charitable donation In east hull they call it the Derby surcharge and is usually £10 extra per ticket In the South stand.

have to say i disagree with forced charity, and that having people with collection buckets in the ground on derby day would have been a better option.
I'd have no problem with paying an extra £1 that goes to charity but, as Willa said, for Hull FC to claim it's THEIR donation when they're adding it to the ticket price is a complete joke!
It should be "Hull FC and Hull KR fans donate to charity" because Hull FC will be keeping 100% of the ticket money at the normal admission price.
