It's called being the bigger (and better) person. Why should Hull fans suffer for the "sins" of their owner? God help us under Mo if that was the case.

For me us being the better person would just be a consistent and FAIR ticketing policy for both sets of fans. FWIW that's me agreeing with you by saying don't listen to the idiots who would have us change our ticketing structure just for the Hull game just to get their own back or because they feel done over.

What I dont agree with is the fact we are offering significantly reduced tickets to a club that doesn't offer us anything?

Why go above and beyond?

FWIW i think we should be encouraging the more away support as much as possible considering the pathetic away crowds we get apart from stains & the dire

That's the same with every other club though. We don't get discounts to the value we give when we market The Big One.

Are we the only club that does anything like this? Can't remember ever hearing about anyone else offering discounts

Whilst I do see what your saying you also must see that Hull FC employs a ticketing system that discriminates against away fans.

Whilst not wanting to go tick for tac here why offer hospitality or reduced rate tickets to a club that openly extorts away fans for the benefit of their home fans?

You could charge the Hull fans more to subsidise/allow a greater number of cheap Wigan tickets.

Hull are doing nothing wrong or penalizing anybody. In theory they are doing nothing different to Wigan only limiting the discount to one stand. Hull decided to discount the whole of the south stand at the Kc in attempt to bring back the 1000's who walked during Agar's era. Now let me make one thing clear, the south stand is neither a home or away stand, any supporter is welcome to use it.

Now if you Wigan fans are complaining because one stand is discounted and the others are full price, then surely you must be in outrage knowing that 5000 people are going to get in cheaper then you at your own home game. Because effectively that is what Hull are doing each game and for some reason you guys have a problem with that.

We got in for not much more than a tenner at Wakefield a couple of years back - they marketed it as The Golden Game or something similar, in partnership with the scrap metal dealers that sponsored them at the time, I think.

Otherwise... no!
