I have renewed.
Re Rovers. After the last two seasons I am not surprised their sales are up, if they hadn't been, then there would have been very little else they could do to improve numbers.
As for us, well, let's see where the final numbers fall. If we reach 8000 it would represent a great effort considering our recent history.

Our average attendance in 2025 will be higher than Hull KR, have no doubt about that.

I renewed last month, do feel we will be better next year but not expecting us too shoot right up the table.

I was more trying to gauge if people hadn't renewed and then changed their mind after the takeover announcement.

As for rovers, if they played in a 25k capacity stadium where you could just rock up and be guaranteed a seat they wouldn't have sold so many

This is my thoughts regards Rovers too. With a very limited capacity, their fans need to have a season ticket to ensure admission.

As we have the best and one of the biggest stadiums in the competition, we sell 10,000 memberships and still have another 12,000 home fans turn up on the day. Plus we would also announce the attendance before the hooter. Something they’ll never have or do, East of the river!

For what it is worth, I’ve renewed my membership too and always was going to regardless of the ownership.

If we only had a ground that held 10000 I think we would sell out. Some people don't need to buy a pass as there is always an available ticket.

Agree, the amount of empty seats mean a season pass isn't essential at the MKM and I've sat in every stand and there simply isn't a bad view to be had in the ground.

Whereas at Craven Park seats are limited, some seats down the side have pillars in the way or can't see the try line etc so fans will renew ASAP or risk not getting in at all or having to stand.

I would imagine we have the cash to do some tickets deals now, but I'd prefer we wait for the rugby to improve first. I've lost count of many times I've depressingly seen newcomers lured in with a cheap ticket deal and the team put on a disaster class!

I renewed (even though I said I wasn’t at the end of the season & behore the Thirkill announcement) due to the amount of change that had been done and put in to place. For me it felt totally different to the previous years and luckily financially it wasn’t problem to renew. However I do know a few that haven’t due to financial reasons and some others who want to wait and see how next season goes.

I agree with what others have said about ourselves vs KR in that the fact they are limited on capacity means that naturally they will have a bigger uptake initially due to simple supply and demand first and foremost so you simply can not compare the two.

The feeling amongst the believers the none believers annoyed and frustrated alike that I speak to has been generally buoyed by the announcement last week and I think that we really missed a trick not reinstating a temporary return to the discount scheme for say a week after the forum. They could have announced it that night and I think they would have gained some more sales myself.

6500 passes sold, likely still puts us behind last year buts it hard to say as we didn't have an early cheap price deadline last time. Club saying they have had an upturn in sales since last week though.

My daughter has been nagging me for a pass, so I think I can stretch to £1 and get her one under the junior members offer.

She went to 3 games last season, one of them was Smith's last game in charge, the other 2 were the wins against Leeds and Wigan

Direct debit rolls over for three of us living in Leeds, parking pass will be renewed and got to say I am pretty excited about the takeover and the years ahead.
Now the games are on a Saturday / Sunday it make the commute easier on the M62, the goole flyover is hopefully finished after two years of delays, can do the journey in an hour from Pudsey.
2016/2017 seems a long time ago but I am convinced the last 4 years debacle is over.
We have to improve our home win record at the stadium, less than 50% since 2005 is shocking.

Got my oldest grandson a pass for a quid. Plenty of people doing the same but while I was there yesterday and today new members joining and others renewing. Think the season’s pass sales are going to surprise some and one certain poster is going to have egg on his chin AGAIN

I know that Hull have a lot of loyal fans and if you add the kids for £1 then there's no reason you cannot get a decent total of season ticket sales. Obviously giving away a season pass for £1 might secure future fans so I'm not knocking it but in terms of gate receipts it puts you miles behind Rovers.

Rovers are now very close to 10,000 season ticket sales, the new East Stand Seating area which adds 1,000 to capacity is 85% full with passholders. The problem for Rovers is that even the increased capacity is unlikely to satisfy demand. Frankly it's a problem the club didn't expect to have, the club have outgrown the stadium.

Rovers will be turning away supporters in 2025 which is good and bad in equal measure.

The young generation of East Hull have taken to Rovers and it's incredible to see the amount of young faces at Sewell Group Craven Park. It's a problem for Rovers local born group of entrepreneurs to tackle but with such a wealth of business talent who would put it beyond them?

In summary there is no doubt that Hull Fc will sell a lot of season passes but not as many as they need to. Rovers will sell more but not as many as they could do.

And you'll still have lower attendances than us

And a significantly less wealthy power board

7000 passed now


Not too bad considering the dross we've had to put up with over the last few years

Up to 7,000 memberships now.

A reminder that some experts on here said we'd struggle to sell 3,000.

Outstanding commitment from the black and white army, as usual. No other fan base would come close to that had they gone through our last 5 years.

dont forget Reverend the kids for a quid
Not against it but does distort revenue from pass sales and of course the old eleven thousand attendance figure when there is only eight or nine thousand in the ground

Is that your new nickname for me? I'm honoured to be in such exalted company as Yeaman, Griffin, Smith, Myler etc etc.

You could have asked about the attendance figures at the fans forum. It does sound like you are getting your defence in early about your prediction of just one 10k attendance in 2025 being hopelessly wrong.

Please don’t quote the Dobbin. He’s on my foes list.

He won't answer I've asked him about the forum a few times, which he has not answered. He will come on here and moan, but hasn't the bottle to go and confront the club when he had the chance.

I always thought he was just a miserable Hull fan, but starting to think he is a Rovers fan.

Perhaps you are right. It's hard to believe that someone could keep up the pretence for eleven years but maybe that is the case.

What pretence? He openly shouts from the rooftops on how good the power board and Dobbins do as a club on and off the pitch then in the next breath slams AP and anything FC

Certainly not the actions of an Hull FC supporter passed or present.
