OK here is my rational behind the poor sales.

In 2008 we were 2nd bottom and sold out the south stand the week after Wembley when most realistic Hull fans expected a slump following a tough week physically and mentally at Wembley. We still sold out. The game was not televised.

This year our form is poor, the game is on a Saturday evening in holiday season. Many will choose BBQ, Beer and best seat in the house...sky sports.

As a club we are the only fans to pay 17 pound to stand in a disgrace of a stand. 17 QUID!!!!!

Poor form does have an effect on attendances for sure but there is far more to this then Hull FCs current form.

Finally from a personal point of view I am going tomorrow but not in the south stand and this is my first super league derby at craven park having previously watched derbies from all parts of the ground. I just refuse to watch a game from the south stand again. Simples

So no I do not think the south stand would have sold out if we were 2nd place.

With regards to Rovers saying it was "certain to be a sell out," why wouldn't they presume it would be? Every other has been, so you would have thought it was a fairly safe bet. But then again, you have just used it to have a pathetic dig.

I don't understand why would Rovers say something is a certainty in 4 separate website articles when it clearly wasn't? If they'd spoken to the KC ticket office at any point since our allocation went on sale it would have been more than obvious that we weren't going to shift them all. :lol:

Reenyrobin wrote:2)Why would we have to save face? It's your lot not making up the numbers, so I would say, it's out of Rovers' control.

Rovers said the match was a sure sellout. They will therefore look silly if it isn't. We, on the other hand, were offered some overpriced tickets and many people have politely declined that offer.
The fact that it might not sell out may be a reflection on Hudgell's somewhat disingenuous pricing policy, which is very much under his control, I'd say. I assume you have sold all your tickets then?

For my two pence worth as a Rovers fan, I wont be attending as I am at work. I would have been had sky not changed the day, as it was not enough notice for me to book time off. I suspect a lot from both sides of the city would have been afected. As for the south stand I would not watch from there even if it was free, I posted after last years game & the awfull weather that the FC fans had to put up with that We as a club had missed a trick by not giving the tickets to FC & just charging admin & stewarding costs for that end. Ok we would not have made any cash but just think of the qudos we would have earned & they would have nothing to moan about. As for the north stand Why do we charge more to sit behind the posts? I have never understood that. If I could not get tickets for the side I would not bother, thats why I buy tickets fromm the KC for the derby as I dont want to be behind the posts. It is also the reason I only go to away grounds if I can get tickets for a decent view on the side.

Rovers average attendance is on course to improve on last year when there was 2 home derby games so i dont see how our attendances this season can be knocked.

Presume they are following the lead of the club and refusing to talk to anyone :D
