Thanks, fixtures out today so that will determine if it's worth it or not for him.

they said on Facebook that 20% of sales are to new passholders, can't see many not renewing (only a few for personal reasons) so it's looking like we will be 10-20% up by the end which would be great progress.

Hope you are right on that if we can push 10k passes again that would be great which after winning two challenge cups back to back the club fully deserves it.

I reckon some might have traded a pass for the Oz trip of a lifetime.

£250 for a season ticket doesn't make a dent in a trip to Australia though so I cant see those that are going not renewing for that reason. I still think not having the whole of the East stand for home supporters and Friday night games is having an impact on attendances, not hugely for the former but the latter more so. Took nephew, mater and brother to a game last year and there were supposedly no seats left together either reserved/unreserved in East, bought 3 in East and one in South, turned out there was space after-all so I casually walked into East to sit with them but some families who want to go on the odd occasion will be put off with not being able to get into East. I realise they have the family section in West corner but it really isn't the same atmosphere at all.
As for the Friday/Sunday thing, I hear so many fans not just out of town but residing in Hull wanting to go back to Sunday games, turning up on a Thursday/Friday night in the middle of winter (yes Feb/March is still winter in Hull) is really not pleasant at all, at least with an afternoon game the temperatures will be higher plus the bonus of not being tight for fans who work certain hours that make it difficult to attend.
For us out of towners it's a real drag, I end up just making it a 3-4 day visit for the 6-7 home games I get to. Is there no chance of changing, could the club poll the fans?

We switched to mainly Sunday games in 2012 and 9 out of the 13 attendances dropped from the previous season. Sunday games will not give a boost to attendances. People have other things to do on a Sunday especially in summer.
A poll would be pointless as there wouldn't be an overwhelming preference either way, the club will never please everyone. Attendances have risen for each of the last two seasons so I'd leave things as they are.

If everyone had to switch to Sunday other than the contracted Sky Thurs/Friday games then in my opinion gates would increase. It would also encourage more fans to travel to away games rather than having to endure traffic delays on the motorways.

I tend to agree. If all games were sunday except TV matches I think attendances would grow.
That said, Friday nights do allow people to have family time on a sunday (which from a personal perspective allows me to have a few jars on a Friday night )
