Don't think we've seen such good sales this early for a non derby game in a good decade or so. A win this weekend and I dont think 14k is completely out of reach.

With a couple of weeks to go we already look certain to beat last year's first home attendance of 12,265 against Salford. That was a Friday night game and not live on Sky Sports.

Wasnt that long ago we had 16k for first home game against leeds on tv, or did I dream that

17,080 at home to Leeds in round one 2005 live on Sky Sports (Friday night game). There must've been some giveaway as the following game against Warrington saw just 10,169 and half our attendances that year were sub 10k (mostly Sunday home games that season, by the way).

Disagree all you want but 13,000 gainst Catalans would be excellent for a Thursday night TV game with no away support to boost the attendance as we will be doing today.

Fair points, its not that id think it was bad, just dont think it would be as fantastic as some are making out, and I think pearson would probably agree with me, after the season we had last year , the very cheap tickets available, imo a 15k + attendance would be fantastic, which we could get

It might even go some way to shutting up the Thursday-nights-are-rubbish moaners like me.

Over 13k on a Thursday night would be outstanding.Its a awkward night for shift worker especially and night workers,shift workers either require a shift change or days holiday so can be difficult

Don't recall many cheap ticket deals during the Kath era, she was as tight as! That big Leeds crowd was built on the hype of the cup win, and some great games against Leeds at that time (year befores game was 0-0 at half time but cracking rugby) times are tougher economically than 2005, and I don't think RL has as many Household names these days, so selling tickets in 2017 is a tougher sell.

the hard thought win today will hopefully add a few to the gate now. for example i've still to buy my ticket as i thought i would be late working tues and thurs but that has now changed thank god.

also there is added incentive now as a win will see us go clear at the top

round 1 2005 would have been before the cup win

I think anything less would be disappointing with tickets selling at a 90% discount.

I'll be advised by you. Hull KR have the tshirt in soul-crushing disappointment after 50-0 and the MPG.

Well said Mrs B. Dear old Keith is the gift that keeps on giving.

Is there an errant f in that sentence?
