Now that truly is a rip off about which something should be done.

I didn't realise they do that. That is disgraceful.

Why restrict your good natured section of fans from refreshments?

If this is true it's a bluddy disgrace - I've often had rants about away fans not being treated fairly (eg: allocated the only open stand at Headingley, Hull FC fans being the only Away fans forced into the South "Stand" at Caravan Park and split into the 4 corners of the ground at Catalans) but didn't think we were guilty.

If true, Hull FC should petition the SMC to change this discrimination although Hull do not - like Wigan- profit from or run the eating and drinking facilities which are, incidentally, very poor in the Home stand too.

I'd cut my losses if I were you and indulge in a Pie and Pint at the Botannic pub. Pound a pie and delicious

KC has the best view of any SL ground IMO.

As someone else said, HullFC have no control over the catering. The foods disgraceful anyway pies so hot they provide geothermal energy to a small country, flat beer, bags of crisps that are more expensive than caviar...I don't get why people pay such prices every week at sports grounds.

as for the entry price, it was £20 last season, as we froze all our prices for this year. And Rovers charged our fans (but no other teams fans) £17 to stand in the infamous Craven Park South Stand which is nearer Holland than the pitch!

This might have been sarcasm but if your serious I don't agree. JJB is the best stadium in the league. Great parking, easy to get to, shops and restaraunts right outside and you can drink your beer and watch the game.

KC is a close second though, only downsides are pricing, stewards and beer quality...
