Well said.

Very poor crowd, gotta be the lowest for a 'home opener' since we moved to the KC?

don't blame anyone for giving it a miss, I would've pay 23p to watch Hull at the moment, never mind £23...wish they did season pass refunds!

People may argue that we're in a recession and people can't afford to go to the games any more. I think that it will have some effect on why the attendance is low, but I don't think it's the biggest effect. I don't have a season pass because of my work patterns but if work wasn't screwed up I don't think I would get one. We do play very very poor rugby IMO. I've been saying for a while that Agar is not good enough for Hull FC. I hate to say it but the rivals across the river are looking a far better side then we are and I think they will be with Agar in charge.

If the "recession" is the main reason then why doesn't the club do something about this to get more fans in the stadium such as lowering tickets, season passes or giving freebies! The east stand looked empty and we are playing Leeds!!! Other then rovers I see Leeds as the second biggest game of the season! I thought I would never see the east stand and other areas of the ground as empty as they was, especially against our rivals!

I don't think the recession is a massive factor, yes some people are genuinely priced out of attending games due to job loss/loss of income...but for the vast majority its simply that all optimism and belief has gone that we can win SL or the CC.

what makes things worse, is that aside from Rovers and possibly Wigan...that will be the biggest away following we'll see this season.

I've left the last 3 games that I've attended (Crusaders, Rovers and tonight) asking why did I bother. Don't think I'll be going again till things pick up, freezing cold tonight and despite playing a severely understrength Leeds we never even looked like winning.

Not really, in 2006 for example we got 11,860 against Wakefield.

Against Leeds, however, we should be aiming for at least 15,000 even given the Millennium Magic defeat.

Atmosphere was dire . Making the East Stand fully reserved was a big mistake.
Love or hate "Chav" corner , at least they made a noise!
The KC has created a sanitised away side friendly enviroment.

It could be the lowest home support. Leeds brought a fair few for an away game live on sky. Wakey don't have a huge away following. You could be wrong there........ or I could be.

awfull attendence WELL DONE JIMMY RULE

Most of the time the atmosphere comes from the performance on the pitch. See Saints H last year and Leeds at H last year as examples. We were worse than poor from the off tonight. Hence no atmosphere.

All we are likely to have next time up is chants of Agar out......unless.......

too early to say what effect the reserved East stand had, the fans were subdued and moaning about the team/Agar even before kick-off, so I don't think it was ever going to be a great atmosphere.

I personally think the kc has always been very flat atmosphere wise compared to the boulevard and think our size of fanbase would be more suited to something similar to the haliwell jones but must'nt grumble its stillma fantastic stadium.

On another note didnt they do an offer tonight £19 tickets if bought in advance so even with that offer people still stayed away so i dont think the recession is to blame i think people are voting with their feet, if i wasnt daft enough to buy a pass i think i mght of even stayed awat tonight.

you are right there was an advanced ticket deal for family's in the West Stand, which makes the crowd figure even worse.

This is the first season in 12 I havnt had a pass, I didn't go tonight because I didn't fancy paying 20 odd quid to watch such an un organised and unstructured team on a cold Friday night, my decision was justified and I'm sure others did the same.
