Just bought my tickets in E5. Good job I only need one ticket as it's just single seats! Couldn't get any where near where my family sit and there are usually lots of seats dotted around them.

Just ordered a singular RESERVED East Stand Ticket for a family member - was informed UNRESERVED East Stand Sold Out - The guy on the end of the phone said ticket sales were going really well, and that we should have the best gate of the season - including the Derby!!! Warrington offering free travel fro their supporters, so they should bring more than their normal support.
We need to be there to back the boys!!! Lets get some circulars into the schools and local RL Clubs, cut price Junior tickets, accompanied by an adult etc..... to get the stadium buzzing
Cannot wait COYH..........................

Bored to death of reading this time after time from various people.

If points were reset to zero after R23 you'd have a point, but they're not. We're still in the league stage of the season, every game since R1 has contributed to where the teams are sat now, and the excitement it generates by rewarding the most consistent team throughout the whole league season.

The flip side is of your point, is what if a team had a great R1-R23, then lost every game in the Super8's finishing outside the playoffs, it'd render the LLS as an even more minor trophy than it is now.

To those who can't go due to work, how about taking some leave? It's the biggest game at the KC in a decade FFS

East and South nearly sold out hopefully they will open the north soon

North was open for Warrington anyway i thought?

I couldnt get 5 of us in the East just now so we've squeezed into the South. They might need to open another stand.

Is the whole of the East Stand available to Hull fans or will the north end be closed off?

still plenty left in the west stand, so i doubt the club will open the north until they have gone

Don't think they close off the north end, but this will be Wires allocation with some in the north ID imagine, dependant on how many they bring.

According the the stadium website the capacities are as followed:

North Stand: 4,000 capacity.
East Stand: 6,000 capacity.
South Stand: 4,000 capacity.
West Stand Lower: 6,000 capacity.
West Stand Upper: 5,000 capacity.

Bearing in mind this will be pre-the barrier at the north end of the East stand, plus however much we have to deduct due to having unreserved seating (is it 10%?), plus the big screen allocation, means with the three stands I'd imagine a capacity of 14,500-15,000, plus a bit of the north for away fans should be around 15,500.

All guesstimated on my part though.

Hull Daily Mail today suggesting that there will be 18,000 there on Friday.

Be brilliant if we can get that, think it would be our 2nd highest non derby crowd at the KC? We got over 19k i think for Bradford way back when the KC had just opened.

Just had a look and basically the south end of west stand is sold out too but a fair few left down the north end

E1,E2 & E3 still not available for sale though which makes me think the Wire fans will be in there with North closed which would be ludicrous

If the SMC are going to charge us extra for opening the north stand, it makes sense to sell out the other areas first. At the end of the day, if there is the demand for it, they'll open it up.

Plus having FC fans in all 4 stands will help the atmosphere, its the reason City moved the away fans to the corner in the first place.
