A reasonable, moderate take as always.

Think we will get at 6000, many 7 with a bit more positive news. Either of those would be good after the last few seasons.

Our crowds have actually been pretty consistent all the years at the MKM. Hull Live posted a list recently and interestingly it's the year after success where crowds go up a bit such as in 2007 after the grand final, 2017 after the cup win etc.

Suppose thats because something like 80% of our gates are pass sales and not walk ups so there is a years time lag after any success or gloom to impact.

4.5k so far is good news but do have to err a bit of caution that a lot of those will be direct debit sales where you have to renew early (or face paying in full) it's the next 4k where things will get interesting.

Whoever said we wouldn't get 2/3000 sold looking a bit daft. Mind you that's nowt new

Reckon we have around 6000 die hards who will buy regardless....its after the club will have the hard sell what with City still offering deals and glory hunters heading east...would be happy if we get around 7.5k, another out of the blue signing may help push it that way

That figure is quite impressive all things considering .
