good we got an increase dissappointing it was not higher. But the number of games we had on Sky afected us a lot.

the other upside is that the increase in Huddersfield fans as we had a lot less away fans coming this season.

they might be down near the bottom, but hull fc's crowds were good again for a team who arent having a good season

One of only 3 teams to make an increase, a good effort in the worst financial conditions in a generation.

Yep, says in the Examiner this morning that the number of away fans fell by 25% this year.

It would be interesting to know if our gate revenue was better than last season. I can't see us finding that out though.

i doubt the gate revenue will be higher with the cheap season tickets counting for a big % of the Giants supporters increase. Those who would have been paying ie the away fans are down. I would have thought though that there was big increase in other income due to merchandising, food and booze, the CC run and prize money and being 3rd in SL is a nic elittle earner.

I would imagine when they post profits next year we will find out whether the club is growing finacially.

So despite giving away your season tickets you manage to attract an average of 81 extra people - good effort

ATEOTD there were some big offers last season and they haven't been this season. You replace, for example, the Catalan game that was free admission and remove it from the crowd average and replace with this seasons Catalan attendance and this has a big impact on the average gate. Replace the Leeds and Bradford fixtures, both of which had big offers, and see what the crowd average is then.

You obviously cannot read the 4th post down or are not bright enough to understand it.

Assuming that in our previous crowds say away fans accounted for 15% of the crowd. A reduction of 25% in away fans would mean that we put on nearly 500 Giants fans on an 8000 crowd. That would give us a rise in Giants fans of 7.1 % over the season. the second best in SL

We are building up Giants fans and that has worked. Not relying on away fans who do not travel to the Galpharm anymore because it is no longer a guaranteed two points and that we had a LOT of games moved for SKY.

Getting to the CC Final certainly wont have done us any harm but may make it a bit harder to discern whether we really are growing financially. We'd have to look at more than this years and last years figures to really get a feel.
