Knee jerk reaction initially??
After reading the reply to Phil's email it's obvious Hull FC aren't going to give credit to the people that are actually donating the money. They've obviously came up with some round-the-houses reply and are showing how they're being "charitable" by bullsh*tting paying fans into thinking otherwise.
I'm not proud that Rovers rip Hull FC fans off every derby game regarding the South stand prices but at least it isn't disguised as charity, it's just a way of getting more money for our own cause.

And we are getting more money for another cause, CHARITY.
Can you name any other charity fundraiser that lists all that have donated to THEIR figure raised?
I'm gonna spit all over you, by accident of course.

No, but whereas someone would raise money for charity by doing a bungie jump, dying their hair or run a marathon, nobody would raise money by walking around with a bucket, forcing people to donate at knife point (I know that's a tad dramatic, but forced charity is forced charity). My point is, Hull FC are doing nothing to justify putting their name to the donation, but the fans of both clubs are. If you don't see a problem with that then fair enough.

I just bored myself with that post, sorry...
Hull are doing something, slapping a quid on, a small task with maximum return, why is that so wrong?......
Also how on earth does ANYONE know how the cheque will be presented and how it will be explained etc etc???

I'm going to bow out here Stan. I've already got my ticket and as a paying fan I'm more than happy to aid Hull FC's charitable donation to Children In Need

Most pathetic thread ever.
If the extra quid annoys people that much, why was there such a queue on Monday morning? I queued at CP for 2 1/2 hrs, got my tickets and never heard 1 person complain about this. It's just the odd poster on here that thinks they are representing the fans, well your not. Most of us ain't that petty, and have lives to lead.
