Hull City away
#5
Don't recall paying £30 to go to QPR (pretty sure it was in the £20's, just looked £23 + fees) but I had a good pub crawl on my way there and back, until I got soaked walking from the BEEB BEEB CEEB old building (still some TV studios but now mostly not really very cheap housing) to the ground. £25 or £30 was the mostly the price in the Prima Donna League for away fans but then they could all, supposedly, afford it as they mostly only have 2-3000 away fans coming anyway and gate receipts are a squidge of their total income.

£33 for a Tuesday night match in the areshole of the old East Riding is seriously taking the hug and kiss though. Hell they only charged the rich barstewards of Chelski £12 for a ticket on Saturday. Then again, BT Sports were subsidising that game. For away fans in our league £20 is plenty.

We charged them £30 - so some good reciprocating going on (not). Still, not yet quite as stoopid as the prices the clowns at The Skip and the Wendy House have been charging in recent seasons for 2nd Division Football.

Which one of those grassy fields is the big car park Snoots? Played rugby a few times in Hull when I were a lad and don't recall seeing that much grass on or off the pitch wherever we were in Hull. Dead fish and the smell of it all over the place from what I remember and fishermen's wives swearing for England on the touch line, which were a bit intimidating for an U16's match.

I remember getting pushed down the steps at Boothferry Park by some pissed up Town fan who seemed to think it would be a good idea for me to jump on the pitch. Wasn't happening. I eventually judo threw the numb xxxx into a barrier. He took a while to get up for some reason and swore at me as he walked back up to his perch a few steps further up the old terrace at the railway station cuttings side of the ground.

Good post mind Thumb up, the game might be over afore I've read it all. Tongue
