[quote="ComeOnYouUll":z8w4geh0]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.[/quote:z8w4geh0] It will get up to 14-15k with those pre sales I would have thought. Barely any Wigan fans will have bought tickets yet. 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.

Wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest had things remained as they were at the end of 2024 season number would likely have been lower.
