As usual the answer is within the RFL Operational Rules (available on the RFL website).

In the Challenge Cup:
"The visiting Club may request that advance sale tickets be issued and if requested shall be entitled to be provided, in order to sell at face value, up to 30% of all tickets made available for general sale to the public."

So if Hull get drawn away at Caravan Park in the CC, we have the right to take 3000 of our fans to Rovers 7000 home fans.

How angry they'd be to have to up the miserly 1500 odd they usually send for us to view from the South "stand" as it crumbles beneath into the Humber.

Which other stand would we get?

The bouncy plastic one? We tend to ensure we pretty much fill that by hook or by crook anyway

Interesting. As we have kindly donated 3600 to our nearest and dearest for the upcoming derby as opposed to the obligatory 10% of 2400, I think our generosity should be repaid more graciously than Rovers' habitual return of favour by upping the price of the South "Stand" by £7 to £17 compared to the £10 charged to all other fans at all other games.

And they think we're bitter

Rover charge £20 to sit ,,,,,£17 to stand.....this applied to any part of the ground ,,,,,we then discount the south stand by £7 as we know when demand is not high enough no one with use this area ,,,,,so why should we discount this area when the demand for tickets for this area outstrips the capacity. Not like those friendly bods at the kc who admit they have upped the price for the derby game for the same reason ....as the two clubs seem to go for tit for tat silliness at the moment id expect the south end standing tickets may rise above £17 this year.

You need to look up how discounted pricing is defined by Trading Standards.

The pricing you describe doesn't qualify.

So do i, you'll find it easier to sell your allocation of a 1,000 tickets next time you visit Craven Park.....1,700 seemed a little difficult for your massive army to shift last season

huddersfield have consistently averaged bigger home crowds than hull kr in the last 10-15 years is fact
