We put our e-mail on the season passes however we never received the survey.

I think at one point they automatically put all pass holders who gave an email address onto the Grapevine database. Like you my Grapevine emails dried up at one point but they started again when I became a pass holder for a season before the move to Fridays.

It's clearly a bit hit-and-miss though.

I'm not but I tend to reach for a razor blade when reading Marthas posts

One Manchester-based Wigan fan here looking forward to travelling to Hull next season on a Sunday, because I can get there and back on the train.

Two things will get the fans in.

SUCCESS AND MARKETING.

Hulls highest average was in 2007 after lifting the challenge cup in 2005 and getting to the GF in 2006. That got the crowds in. Added to that was two big crowds against Hull KR which no doubt helped.

Hull need a top quality coach to bring success and the crowds back.

I think Hull could do a lot better on the marketing side of things. They have a large fan base who don't attend all the games (similar to ourselves) but for individual games they will come.

We have had 3 'big one' games which resulted in a 20k crowd against Leeds, 22k against wire and 19k against Hudds. Maybe Hull should be doing something similar. We also have a game each year where we sell tickets in bulk to local businesses, this resulted in a 19k crowd for quins at home and we will no doubt see a similar crowd for our last game against Crusaders, especially if we are to lift the shield.

Maybe changing the day of the games might make plans more conveniant for away fans and a few home fans, but the crowds will not change unless the club brings success or market itself in a good way.

Clubs like Quins, Salford, Wakey etc. simply need more fans, Hull have plenty, the battle is getting them down to the stadium. I still don't think changing the day will have a huge effect unless they spend some money or get some more success.
