Fair enough. I more meant we'd never won a SF more and I doubt many had seen us in a SF in their lifetime so that alone would have been worth it. Of course if people can't afford it that's different.
sorry if posted already elsewhere. https://www.hullcitytigers.com/under-23-home-ticket-update/ Am I missing something (maybe I am) or is this yet another ridiculous '**** off fans' move?And of course a blatant further way of forcing more people to get match cards? (maybe they include all match card holders in the 1st team attendance figures - that would explain the gross inflation of actual attendances?). Aren't business supposed to make it easy for their customers, not make it so difficult and put obstacles up against everything? Maybe it's full houses there these days? MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS WITH A MATCH CARD ARE NOW ABLE TO ATTEND UNDER-23 HOME MATCHES FREE OF CHARGE. Match Cards are still available at £12, earning £6 to spend at Tiger Leisure, giving you a saving of £24 on Under-23 games if you attend every home match for the rest of the 2018/19 campaign. Supporters who want to attend Monday’s encounter with Watford at the Roy West Centre – but don’t have a membership card or Match Card – can apply for a Match Card by clicking here and collect from Tiger Leisure until 5pm on Monday. Supporters must purchase the Match Card before 2pm on Monday for the Watford game. Please note, tickets will no longer be available on matchdays from the Roy West Centre.
Some of us were lucky enough to be able to afford both. Not everyone was in the position to be able reassess their options later. It's a lot of money for many people. Of course there was a risk that we would lose in the SF (and almost did at H/T as you say) but any took the risk. They couldn't afford both. If you're rich or comfortably off that's great but please be aware that many are not and choices need to be made.
Yes, that is good. I think it has historically already been the case for season ticket / membership card holders. But I would imagine there are a fair few people interested in football, or relatives & friends of some of the lads who might be playing occassionally (including for the away team) who haven't got match cards. Their only option now appears to fathom how to get a ticket in the days before the match. My point is simply, why make it so damn difficult? Of course, part of the clubs response will be cost cutting (as well as wanting to force people to get match cards) ...... #priceofeverythingvalueofnothing
So, other places take more because so there is nothing to do there compared to vibrant Hull. And poverty stopped people going to the semi-final and final. Sounds a bit contradictory. Is everywhere else rich as it doesn't seem to cause this problem? The reasons were nothing to do with either.
I don't have problems. I am only quoting what others say. Have a word with them. The reasons for people not going to games isn't because there is more to do in Hull or poverty. We didn't have problems selling tickets prior to the Allams alienating fans. Other clubs sell out semi-finals and we would have done not so long ago.
The article simply says they won’t be selling tickets at the RWC on matchday. It says nothing about whether you can pay on the gate. I think it’s clumsily worded, as much of the club’s outpourings are, but I’m not sure it is the “match card or **** off” message that you believe it to be.
