TOPIC: Hartlepool United away

Any news yet about how much the monkey hangers are going to rob us at the turnstiles this year.

Ps, nailed on that some scouser will be first goal scorer.

£25 at a guess.

Football Ground Guide says...

"Home Fans
Cyril Knowles Stand (Seats) Adults £20, Over 60's/Under 16's £10

Nice simple pricing structure, if only we had one here!

Phil King seemed to suggest that the pricing structure would be looked at for next season (mentioned at the Gretna CUOSC/CUFC Roadshow). Difficult to do much now because of the Season Ticket prices; however he didn't rule out the possibility of changes this season. I think he appreciated the need to make things simple for supporters.

It was also mentioned that for cup matches, Season Ticket holders may be able to get the discounted price right up until kick off in future, rather than having to pay full whack on the day as happened this season. Not sure whether that will be in place for home cup games this season, or whether it's something they'll consider for next season.

Agree on the adult prices think the standard £9 for under 16s is a bit steep.

Deano can you ask PK when the club is gonna acknowledge that a pensioner rate is widely accepted as being over 60 these days........not over 65 as the club is hanging onto. If this is to be part of a price re-structure next season fine but should have been amended ages ago.
plus they only get a £3 discount on full price, which seems outwith other Club`s pricing. Tight to say the least.

Will do

When these go on sale?

I think we are also one of the only clubs that demand disabled fans are on the higher rate of DLA in order to get a carer ticket. Majority of other clubs in our league only ask for middle.

Just done a few quick sums looking at the mileage/costs for some other games. Looks like they bump up the 'cost per mile' for some of the nearer games, to subsidise the longer ones. Hartlepool is approx 18pence per mile, whereas Plymouth on Tuesday is only 10pence per mile. Port Vale away is 13pence per mile. York is 17pence per mile. Leyton Orient is 12pence per mile.

If you're a regular traveler, you can see why they do it.

The majority are higher to be fair.

I take a blind person and its only recently that some have allowed a free carer.

The whole reason the original 'alternative' away travel started under Brian Hall, was this very reason!

This lot evolved from them, so by doing this, defeat the very reason it was set up!

Why should someone who can maybe only do Hartlepool, contribute to say Northampton?

Shambles!

Does the bus not cost more per mile on shorter journeys? Ie maybe you get charged a set fee for the bus for the day then petrol on top which would make shorter journeys more expensive or do they charge solely by the mile?

Seesaw, I seem to remember a few years ago ladies could get the reduced senior citizens price at 60 ( like the OAP for those ladies born before 1950 ) but we had to wait until 65. Someone complained so in the interests of equality so CUFC put it up to 65 for ladies too!

Since I turned 60 I have been able to get a reduced entrance price to every away game I have attended, without exception, and I have been to plenty, whilst having to wait until I was 65 for reduced price to home games. ( Maybe I just look old - probably due to the strain of watching the Blues over the years )You do not get reduced season tickets if you are 65 after the start of that particular season. So, for example , the season starts in August but if you are 65 on 1st September you have to pay full price. This is not negotiable as I have a couple of friends who tried to reach a compromise with the club without success.

Most buses are usually 51/53 Seater. Cost of bus divided by 50 is simplest, and round up/down (If it was £12.87 you'd say £13!). Fairest way...

Any little extra starts the Drivers collection!

Yeah i appreciate that Dan but do bus companies just charge by the mile or if there a set fee for the bus then milage on top?. That could make a big difference to the total cost.

Someone told me the West Coast bus is £15 and they have further to travel.

I see the allocation is just 1013. I hope I get a ticket.

Is £18 to get to Hartlepool and back really that excessive in this day and age,,,

Was busy today and tomorrow scared that there will be no tickets left on wednesday...

I would think you should sell out this year with it being a reasonably close game and with virtually every other game being miles away.

We took 829 last season. Think there could be a few more this season.

Looks like it could end up being a home end jobby

Yeah id be shocked if you didn't sell out especially if you can get over 6000 first game hopefully a nice August day both teams in pretty good form, well before tonight anyway. Now we have new owners talks have started about the ground again and their is plans in the pipeline for a 3000 seater stand behind the goal which you sit in that should allow for the better away supported clubs to get more tickets. Unfortunately Cleveland police wont allow anymore than 1000 at the minute.

Looking at QPR and they only ask for Middle rate (care) for "ambulant disabled" fans in order to get a free carer's ticket - why do CUFC have more stringent rules ?

Someone told them all us West Cumbrians would be eligible for free tickets. Given thats around 60% of the clubs total support it would be financial suicide. Saying that im amazed they havent done it then
