Pass sales ????

7,648

Still a good number in the current economic climate. Hopefully we can hit at least 8,000 before the season starts.

Least we are back on topic then

I'd actually say Kath and Rule leaving was the best thing to happen.

A blind no armed sloth could have done better.

How can a fall from this year of over 1000 be "good"

In the face of the current financial situation and employment uncertainly that many in this City are facing i think that 8000 pass sales would be a fantastic effort by Hull fans.

Same spin was rolled out last year when 1000 dropped from 2011

I'm sure Wigan are suffering too

Wigan have already sold over 8500

The Warriors are on target to pass 10,000 Seasonal Membership sales for a record seventh consecutive year and are aiming to be the Best Supported Club in Super League for the fourth year in a row. The Club has recorded an average attendance over 16,000 for the last two seasons and are hoping to repeat this achievement during the 2013 Super League campaign.

Thank you, point proved.

2000 fall in 2 years is bad

FFS, Wigan have won the SL title, The challenge cup and the league leaders shield in the last 3 years. We've won one playoff game.

I think your sarcasm meter is on the blink mate.

With the tripe that's been served up to us over the last 4 years I think 8000 is pretty tidy. Play some good rugby and people will want to watch.

Given the lack of a marquee signing in the halves, 8,000 is very good going imho.

Given the job situation in Hull at the minute mate with all these redundancies, next season (2014) could be even worse.

Hull will be alright.
Siemens are coming to town................Oh, wait on a minute.

Have they made a final decision yet?

In the New Year, apparently.
Unless they put it off, again.

This is sillier than our pursuit of Chase now!

And Prince

Just hope it happens regardless of viewpoints on [irenewable[/i energy.
Can only be a lose/lose for the city if they decide not to pitch up.

TBH I can't see it coming off now, its dragged on for too long and the longer it does the less likely it will happen.

The Government have shafted the City by not getting behind the project and pushing for the deal to be made, the latest I heard was Siemens were rethinking their plans and preferred a site to be in a country that has a a focus on renewable energy. Again another reason the Government have shafted the City when John Hayes shot his mouth off against Wind Energy. If it had been a site south of Luton the Government would have pulled out all the stops and the deal would have been done and dusted.

Regarding pass sales, I honestly think that if we can get 8000 and over then in the current financial climate in our area in particular then I think the club have done well. We are moving in the right direction and AP has invested heavily in the infrastructure of the club and the Coach has put plans in place to achieve success but it aint going to happen over night. The club have done as well as can be expected with regards to the amount of players required coming in and going out in one close season as last years recruitment was all done before the change of ownership.

I am sure that as soon as the club moves forward on the pitch and shows consistency and is challenging for trophies with the likes of Wigan, Leeds, Warrington etc then the numbers will improve but until then we are still living with the history and in the shadows of the previous false dawns.

Exactly.

Pity this isn't a rumour post Heard a good one today Hull are going to sign a top Aussie.and I mean big
The Hull team were in Mr Chus and they want to book an artist that was on for when they introduces the signing
All they would say he is big name in Australia and there is big money involved .All I can say the rumour came from the manager of the artist.But no names were forthcoming .Hull just might have learned they lesson If true we will have to wait and see.The kid isn't know for passing rumours so I don't know what to make of it.

Anyone actually piclked up the pass yet, and found out about the "special offer voucher" mentioned on the FC website?

Yes, you get 10% of if you spend over £60 in the shop, free name printed on shirt and there was also something else but cant remember what, the gutting thing is while the misses queued to get my pass the sister in law paid over £100 for merchandise she had bought for the kids and didnt realise till she got home
