Depends on the club, surely?

For the likes of Wakefield, Cas and Salford 14-15,000 is fine*. For Hull and Saints it's not. We've had ten attendances over 14,500 over the last four years despite having very average seasons.

Well, you have some way to go to get to 14k then

Can't help yourself can you.. =#FF0000cut out the abuse or you're gone - pm
I think with the derbies getting 20k plus attendances the KC capacity is bang on for yourselves. It's also given the City a cracking chance to host some of the international matches that we may otherwise not have had in the city. A Hull FC side playing at the right end of the table have proven they'll attract 15k+ home supporters.

I agree Easty, the city would have missed out on some of the RL internationals, Football U21 Internationals etc if it was just 20K.

I also think the KC's clever design with the West Stand having an upper tier that can be closed for rugby helps the atmosphere. A single tier ground with bigger stands would have made the place look empty for RL games.

If one of our lot posted that on your board Skyrack would pass out and the rest of the modabees would be fighting over who got to hit the ban button

So please read the AUP

good point the last game against the kiwis was superb for atmosphere - and of course it should have been playing host to at least a world cup quarter final

FC's first game against Halifax (I think), I was on the pitch at half-time! Cott Tigers U8's vs Norland Sharks U8's! Got to parade around the front with our black and white balloons!

42-6, watching Hull KR secure a place in SL at the KC, I will never forget it!!!

I thought our first game in SL was against London. I remember getting beat against someone poor. We should have had our first SL game against Leeds if possible!

The RFL asked our board at the time "who do you want first game to open your new stadium"

Our board didnt think it important enough to reply so we got London

Not true.

Clubs can put in requests for certain fixtures but the RFL do not actively (and never have) directly asked clubs if they would like a specific opponent for any given fixture.

That we had played Halifax in the cup attracting 15k prior to SL starting, it rendered it largely irrelevant.

Plummer and Kath were asked on RH and that is what they said.

So, it is true
