Hull FC are to give away around 2500 free tickets each week to boost the gates above 14000 to make sure of the A grade next year. Heard it will not be announced until 2 weeks before the first home game.

Police, nurses, fireman are some of the target area and heard it will be for 6th form students and OAPs.

Worth buting a pass now I think not.

Can you get broadband in Rampton?

Reasonably happy with the cost.....my only gripe is I will buy 3 passes together and pay with my debit card this is one transaction yet I will be charged £6 costs (£2 per pass), feel a bit ripped off with that tbh

My big gripe is the direct debit charge being £10 per pass. It's only one DD so why do they need to charge £40 for a family of 4??? Major rip off and a serious pi$$ take for those struggling

It's an admin charge to cover the cost. Seems reasonable to me if you can't afford it in one chunk. Go see if your bank will lend you the money for free

You are missing what I'm saying. I have no gripe over a £10 charge per direct debit, it's the fact they are charging per pass, not DD that I disagree with. It will cost no more to set up a DD for 4 passes than it will for 1 so why charge per pass? It's greed, pure and simple.

P.S. I have already withdrawn the money for our 4 passes from my bank so I don't have to pay any fees, doesn't mean I agree with them though.

Still good value despite the slight increase. However, I won't be renewing for the same reasons as Big Dave T. I live in Leeds, and I don't want to travel over 13/14 times again next year to watch the same level of performance as this year. Should they improve, I don't have a problem paying full price to see some passionate, decent rugby.

Same here, which will be a repeat of a year ago for me.

My sentiments exactly. Will fish the old cheque book out. Don't fancy taking £600 in cash!

We will take the money out of the account and pay cash..Do not normally like to carry £500 about but they are not getting an extra £6 out of me

We will use the card in the shop when we buy 3 shirts etc, no extra charges there

Jesus that scandalous... clearly people use this method to spread the costs which suggests people may be on a tight budget...Well lets help these people by banging an extra £10 on their costs...I thought the extra £2 for debit card was bad enough

Re: 2011 pass prices announced : Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:00 am  

The thing I don't really get about people not renewing is the argument that they'll get a better deal going away. A pass works out cheaper per game than going away but also our home form was pretty impressive this year IMO. Apart from the stuffing by Wigan, we lost bravely to Warrington, narrowly to Leeds with 12 men and won all our other games IIRC, including some cracking games v Saints and Rovers, a last gasp win v Crusaders and some decent scores against Cas and Salford (as you'd expect). Given it works out cheaper to go home than away with a pass, not sure why the appetite is greater for away games as our away form has been poorer than home this season by some margin.
