    It's not TWS Vermin we need to be worried about!

    They're pure filth will just simply corrode the North Stand away. A bit like Alien's blood from the Alien or Alien vs Predator films!

    Probably given them the full stand and charged them £20 a ticket!

    It's a ****e state of affairs that we've had to wait until December to get the attendances over 20K, despite the fact we're doing far better than last season.

    Attendances have being poor, but have we played anyone at home yet that is a big pull or has brought a big away following? With the likes of Huddersfield, Leeds, Leicester, Wednesday and Forest still to come to the KC attendances might pick up a bit.

    Should have charged so much more after what the ****s charged us. I'm 20 years old and paid £34 to go to Bellend Road. A similar aged Leeds fan will pay half that for the return fixture. We should have done to them what they did to us. They are a disgrace.

    We've been too kind to them for years now but we can't just put our prices up for one game

    And spend Boxing Day listening to Stockdale being told 'you're ****, ahhh!' everytime he takes a goal kick.

    I'm going to the Leicester game but the prices are £27 South Stand & £30 West. Bit pricey isn't it for a second division game!

    I have no doubt that that is the best way. But it would only work if EVERYBODY boycotted and that would be detrimental to the team. What's more, I wouldn't have missed that 3-2 for the world!

    It's only Leeds.

    In our shadow for many years now.

    Firstly, we're all fiftysomething glory-hunters from the Revie days, so no Leeds fan of 20 years exists to get said tickets.

    Secondly, what's the point of responding to Leeds' stupid high ticket prices by being stupid and doing the same? Two wrongs...

    You have to charge equivalent home sections the same price as the away end, so you'd be punishing Hull City South Standers in the process.

    You should be able to come to Elland Road for the prices you charge us - simple as. But it doesn't stop us paying 32 quid when we take almost 4000 to Derby on Saturday, or when 9000 Leeds fans paid circa 40 quid at West Ham and Arsenal last season. A proper away support isn't deterred by price.

    And by the way the prices are already up three or four quid on last season (for the 16-22 category at least).

    They should change the rules, so that you can charge up to the same amount as the corresponding away fixture if it exceeds your normal ticket prices.

    But those games at West Ham were your 'Wembley'- that's why so many went.

    If you're gonna change the rules, why not just set an all-out price cap of 25 quid for away fans so that no-one gets fleeced and it doesn't result in a pissing contest where clubs jack up prices to compete for who can put off the most away fans, or respond most crowd-pleasingly to their own away fans being put off.

    Hardly, there was similar demand for all the London and far south games.
