I appreciate forums are not always a great medium for communication, but that does come across a little bit like the club have not being trying.

The club are doing really well, hopefully 12k+ on Thursday, not sue what anyone means by "getting their act together", short of dragging people in off the street who happen to be passing!

we could also push the marketing a bit further out of our area as well - we are the only superleague team in a 50 mile or so radius.

You can't run a business on the basis that you may make a final, you can get a bad cup draw, an injury crisis, a sickness bug in camp on the eve of the semi final etc we need to get to a point where we are making a decent profit just from a standard final-less year.
I'd look at this the other way round, lets be positive and we need to get the club to a standard where we get a min of 1 final a year. Do you think Wigan and Warrington have the same ambition, AP has his work cut out with some fans...

two teams towards the top of the league, approx 15 miles apart. Not the most difficult of sells??

Maybe not but they still exceeded 20k easily,something we couldn't do with a derby.Wigan do target the big games though and id like to see us target a top game.

The Derby had lost its appeal due to the number of times we played them.
When you say Wigan target big games, how do they target them? What do they do which Hull don't to promote these games?
