Clarky has been working hard and I'm looking forward to meeting him on Thursday to see what he's been up to behind closed doors. It's about time we got the KC rocking.
With the north stand closed the lower bowl holds about 16k with blocks E1,2 & 3 set aside for away fans (according to the season pass brochure) I recon that's about 1000-1500 empty seats give or take a few so if we have around 12k of home fans we should all be sat quite close together which should create a cracking atmosphere

From what i recall.
Lower bowl is 19k North stand 4400 East 6000
Which means the east will be lucky to hold 4k Hull fans, (remember that unreserved must be sold 10% under capacity). So its really not a big story the club peddling the old "east stand sell out" line

11000 crowd on Friday[/quote The middle five blocks in the east are reserved which looks more than half on plan so say there's 3k reserved that should give us around 1200 or so unreserved after the taking the 10% off
I think we'll bring a decent following for this game. Decent for us anyway. I think this game could be a real cracker, with your home advantage probably giving you the edge.

Lets hope so but I have to say in general we don't do home advantage very well at Hull FC

Talking to the ticket office today regarding my own season ticket & tickets for some mates and they told me that at the moment, they have sold around 13K tickets including season tickets obviously lol, hopefully we'll get that many, will be a great game & great atmosphere.

Hope it's true - please FC, don't burst this bubble at the first game.
