Just a reminder that the deadline for purchasing season tickets at the discounted "Early Bird" rate is this coming Monday, 1st December 2014.

I understand that tickets can then be collected at an "open day" event at the ground which is being held this year on Sunday, 14th December 2014.

Yer I've read it. Fair play to them. I've heard our season tickets are starting to sell now as well

with the exception of 4 clubs-
St Helens: 12,120 (11,235)
Hull Kingston Rovers: 7,848 (7,495)
Castleford Tigers: 7,068 (6,292)
Salford Red Devils: 4,738 (3,17icon_cool.gif

the attendances of the other 10 SL clubs in 2014 all fell .

With Hull FC attendances have been falling since 2010, so to Adam Pearson they are.

Correctly Salford would be jumping for joy if they got near Hull's ' falling attendance '

When you consider how poor Hull have been the last few seasons, the crowds are superb really. Just need a bit of success! I wish Salford all the best, the squad looks really promising, a top young coach in place but the stadium is just in the wrong place!

I suppose people will continue to maintain that the fact that Hull has such a large core support and the fact that the city boasts one of the highest concentrations of community RL clubs are entirely unrelated

Annoys me this statement. Over the last 10 years, Hull have finished outside the top 6 just 4 times. In addition, they won the Challenge Cup in 2005 and reached the final in 2008 and 2013. During this time Salford have finished in the top 6 just once, have been relegated and subsequently promoted and had no real Challenge Cup run at all.

Poor old Hull fans and there “terrible” recent league finishes/cup runs.
