10k tickets sold for the Wigan game. Decent start but the challenge is of course to lure the 1k-1.5k people who have used the ticket offer to come regularly. I also suspect a good performance at Catalan would get the turnstiles clicking. I don't blame some for waiting and seeing if we have turned a corner.

So our resident expert's prediction that the derby would be the only five figure attendance of the season falls at the first hurdle. Hopefully 12k+ there for the Wigan game.

A heavy defeat to Catalans wouldn't help with that obviously - very tough start for Hull.

And some British style cold weather might help us a bit too.

It's a decent offer to see us take on the best team in the league. Just bought a couple of extra tickets for a fiver each. As Ullfc alluded too, hopefully a promising performance even if we don't win will ensure some of the newbies or fans who have stayed away in recent seasons will want to come again.
