Has anyone actually refused to pay the extra £1 when purchasing their ticket?

That isn't an option.

Nobody is actually saying they would, simply pointing out that an involuntary levy on the ticket is not really a donation.

I suppose you could if you kicked up a big enough fuss though?

But who would be that pathetic?

I suppose some would. Makes no odds to me, I've got a pass.

There's been allsorts on at my work today but I'll bet my pound to a penny it won't say the staff raised it, the cheque to Comic Relief will come from the company.

Can you imagine if EVERY donation and method of raising was announced

"This pound was from little Timothy who cleaned his grandads car and then paid to enter the KC"........

Time to move on surely???

A fuss shouldn't be kicked up about the fact we are forced to donate (it is only £1 at the end of the day) but I definitely think Hull FC need to look at the press they are doing regarding the donation. There's not one mention of fans paying an extra £1 that's going to be donated in that article and it's wrong that they're claiming the donation as their own.

A simple statement like "Hull FC and Hull KR fans show their support for Children In Need by paying an extra £1 for the derby game" would suffice, but I must say I am dissapointed that any company (it being Hull FC in this case) would consider this a charitable gesture on their part.

agree 100%

It seems a lot of people on here

Why dont we get behind the team instead of harping on about something no mater how much you go on about will not change anything

There hasn't been a single person who has said they didn't want to make the donation, just that they would have preferred the club not to dress itup as some huge jesture on their behalf.

Will they be saying "Hull FC raise £200k for Richard Horn'es testemonial"??? (and yes, I hope and think he will get somewhere near that)
