To think you can go to a super league game for £2.50 in 2017 is unbelievable. Can't accuse the club of not trying to attract new fans to the game. Only thing is a lot of people I talk to don't know about the offer so it's down to the pass holders them selves to offer these non rl fans the chance to experience our game. Could anyone work out what the attendance could be if say 80/90% of the pass holders took the 2 for £5 offer. Most people would probably feel cheeky asking some one who has a pass for tkts but I bet a lot of people would snap their hands off if offered the deal

Let's say 8000 members. If 80% of them, which is 6400, all bought 2 extra tickets you'd get 8000 + (6400 x 2) = 20800 fans.

I know 80% is very optimistic but when you look at the price of premier league football a live sporting event for that price is something most sports fans would struggle to ignore. Obviously a Thursday night is hard for parents with really young children but 15000 should be a achievable target. There's currently a lot of cheesed off city fans who aren't attending any games who would maybe tempted to have a look even out of curiosity. What else would £2,50 buy you nowadays. Maybe now is the time to try and turn a few of them to a proper game

Especially as it is half term week and the youngsters wont have to be up early for School on the following day. We could top 14K!!! COYH

Forgot about half term. Just speaking to a city fan today who has got tkts off a pal. Watches SL on t.v but never been to live game. Taking his young son ( who is already pestering him for the new shirt for the night ). All it takes is for his lad to love it and you've potentially gained another 2 fans .

We've been adopted by our friend's two kids. The lad, who's 12 decided at the end if last season he wants to be an FC fan and pestered his poor grandad (lifelong rovers fan) for a shirt for Xmas. He loves coming to the games and his older sister (rovers fan) comes too. Working on her to buy an FC shirt and officially switch allegiance. Success will increase the fan base.

Only South Reserved and a handful of East and West reserved tickets left now. Great effort!

... just need to open up the North stand now (and then upper West)

Keep up the good work. Support the Challenge Cup winners and Super League Club of the Year in the competition's best stadium or, er, Hull KR?

How does a headline of "OPENING GAME HEADING FOR A SELL OUT" tally up with the reality, are we expecting 20k+ for the game?

If Upper West and the North are going to be somewhat empty as of right now then that's what, 9k off the capacity straight away.

A headline of 'bumper crowd expected' etc etc but why make statemenmts that are utterly untrue?

Agree they have got carried away, i don't think the East/North corner is open yet. But still we must be on about 11/12k sales by now with 2 weeks to go which is a very good effort.

Hull's website is a little over enthusiastic with ticket sales but I guess that's their job.



We are hopefully looking at over 13k which would be a very encouraging start to the season. Still not sure why we are unable to use the away section of the East Stand for a game like this when it'll just remain empty. Surely better to fill that than have extra people in the West Stand.

13k would be excellent.
