So as beer is the only thing we get a % rake off from we hurt Hull FC if we stop buying it. Therefor perhaps the mantra should we keep buying the beer and boycott the rest of the catering stuff?
2016 The Year of the Airlie Bird -on sale NOW, price £15, BUY THE BOOK RE-LIVE THE DREAM!
Its a fine balance to strike, and I'm not entirely sure that the raising of the prices will result in a loss.
If you raise the price of a pint by 10%, you need more than 10% of people to stop buying the beer to result in a loss.
Whilst some people will have a set budget and will now only be able to buy 3 pints instead of 4, I imagine that the vast majority of people only buy 1 pint at a game, and as such would be unlikely not to purchase.
So its likely that the numbers sold will not be -10%, hence the SMC will make more money.
Its the same with ticket prices - lowering the price by 10% is hardly unlikely to attract 10% more fans, therefore clubs will not do it.

At football it £3.60. The price increase is because Pearson won't let MR Allam to reduce the FC kickback on beer sales from 30% to 3% as he has done for the football. Of course for the football that's a reduction in income in one of his pockets to the benefit of his other pocket. Just remember the Licensing Laws which state you must display your prices and they must be the prices you charge. That includes the offers above the outlets. Quite alot of boards to change from football to rugby everyweek.

Allam clearly worried about the affect of deflation on the economy. Joke price for a joke product. I know the club gets a slice but it shouldn't be at the expense of its fans being ripped off. Spend a fiver in the shop (programme etc.) would be my advice. Minimise the hit on Hull but maximise it on the SMC.

Instead, buy 3 extra tickets to games over the season give to friends and family and get new people to the games.
Would be much more productive than 1 pint or a programme a week.
I presume that EVERYBODY is AWARE that's it's an open book within the reaches of the KC that the w2nkers known as the Allam's are trying to goad AP into breaking the agreement with the SMC to get us BOOTED OUT?
We really need to 'wake up' to this and give AP 100% support, if you are not already.
My Hull FC means more to me than any W2NK£Rs who wants to run us into the ground, any negativity about coach, the players or useless officials.
