Stoke, Sunderland and Leicester in the next three games. Good results in these should set the platform for staying in the Premiership, much to the chagrin of many others on here

Actually, the Away segregated section has now been moved to the NE corner with a capacity to seat 2600 for this season. They've had attendances as low as 21000 for Premier League matches this season, 18000 for the Europa League game. In previous seasons to this, regardless of the allocation of tickets, the North stand still had capacity of 4000 which must be removed from the equation, appropriate segregation of opposing fans being applicable.
In the Championship, the average attendance was around 15000, roughly the same as ours when we started to perform. This is, of course, ignoring the contribution to the RL total attendance in the city from you lot.

The SMC accounts for 2010 (signed off by the Allams BTW) showed a gross profit of £0.4m on Hull FC activities -we paid £0.6m and cost of sales was reported as £0.2m. In 2014 we paid £0.5m to the SMC and direct costs were now £1.2m. A sixfold increase in direct costs. OK then. The implication on that basis is that for every spectator £4.10 is paid to the SMC but the DIRECT cost of each is £9.44. This is before overheads of £0.5m (a further £3.73 per spectator).
When you compare the two sets of accounts there are multiple income streams - sponsorship, catering, Premier Club, advertising, car parking, events, training ground declared in 2010. In 2014, there's less detail but assuming a similar pattern to 2010 it appears the vast majority of these income streams are shown as directly attributable to Hull City Tigers only. Right.
The accounts for City show stadium employee expenses as £2.2m. Which doesn't tie back directly to the P&L schedule in the SMC accounts for the same period.
There could be all sorts of explanations. Changes in accounting policies and intercompany charging mechanics between the multiple companies within Allamhouse for example, changed cost allocation methodology. The squash and polo things don't seem to be shown separately. But the question that is most pertinent I think is how the £1.7m the SMC reportedly incur to host 13 rugby games a year, given that we seem to run a fair bit of the ticketing operations ourselves, benchmarks against the likes of Wigan, Huddersfield etc. Might have a look at that one.

Take away the away supporters probably all less than 20000 home fans Unless Hull city consolidate in the Premier League for four or five seasons pushing into the top half of the table there is little point in extending the KC capacity.
The most pathetic attendance for me was the FA cup 5th round against Brighton 10700 and sixth round ( 2 games from Wembley) against premier League Sunderland 21000

Huddersfield Giants pay Kirklees Stadium Development Limited a total of £300k pa for stadium use, annual rental, and an allocation of admin costs shared with Huddersfield Town and other users of the stadium.
