Wigan only cost me £32 for the 3 of us. Not sure of the total cost at the KC we ended up having to go in the west upper. Think it was about £25 an adult and 10 for a child (may be wrong on the split but I know it was £60)

To be honest I was being provocative and I understand anyones frustration at paying for our south stand, but the point I was trying to make was a lot of FC fans seem to think it's a privelige that we get to visit the KC once a year bu from our point of view there are better / more value for money grounds elsewhere in SL.

For the last Derby game at CP any Hull fan could have got a spot in the north stand if they had wished and the view i there is as good as most grounds in SL.

AHH !! that explains it a little more . the west stand is very expensive ( also far dearer at wigan i might add) sorry , i assumed you were in the north away stand !! . not really a like for like comparison . still at £32.00 quid for your wigan game , that seems extremely cheap for three of you ( although i noticed a family deal in their north stand for 2010 season ( £40.00) for 2 adults & one child . not bad at all . i also did not take into account you may have been passholders & that would have entitled the child pass to go in free at away games ( no ?? ) but that would have applied also at the k.c !!

but in the long run , the kc are maybe over doing it on some of the prices & even taking into consideration the points i made in another post about running costs etc , charging away supporters a little too much may force them to stay at home !! hmmmm !! .

but also my original comment regarding value for money as against craven park still stands !! which my original post was aimed at . would you have wanted to sit in that awful stand , facing hail & wind like the derby game last year for approx £42.00 ( for your family) ??

We are all passholders but as is the case with most events nowadays anyone with a job has little or no chance of getting tickets they want (especially child swaps for derby games) as most places seem to insist on putting htem on sale on a week day.. We ended up in West stand as the North was just too much hassle to bother with and to be honest it wasn't bad in there compared to the north.

To be fair the derby game this year was held in July so the likelyhood for hail and (cold) wind was low even in Hull, IIRC it was a pretty nice day and perfect weather for sitting in the north stand. I remember when we played Bradford last season in feb and it was pretty bleak in Odsal that day as was Leeds in the pouring rain. Would I go back...definitely

Leeds.
Wakey.
Catalans (although generally warm)
Salford.
Bradford.

All have the away fans out in the elements and charge a similar amount to CP, would you also not go to these games away?

Except being so far away they wouldn't have been able to see.

They must be blind then

If you can't see from in the North, I think you need to start watching a different sport, unless rugby comes in braille. Anyone?

Another classic from a not so bright

Its probably nearer to the pitch than any stand at the KC.

Whilst your partners at the KC use specialist equipment and an army of workmen in an unsuccesful effort to make conditions safe for the proposed Chelsea game it'll be interesting to see how many of the faithful you can muster for a similar operation next week for the charity operation via your own board.

Surely your club will put similar rescources into trying to get the game on for such a loyal player who has given ten years of service rather than leaving it to both the volunteers who have currently put their names forward

it gets worse.

is the game likely to go ahead does anyone know? only 7/8 football games gone ahead today for safety reason (mainly travelling) so if this awful weather does keep up....

But let be honest its only a short walk from admiral to the KC so travelling isnt such a big issue surely?
