How long?

Been in it 12, it was a 25 year lease was it not?

We averaged that amount only a few season back. It's not enough. It would be accepting mediocrity, something you bang on about a lot, into perpetuity. If we are to ever fulfil the potential, then 20000 capacity is a must.

Well said.

I'm suprised at the lack of ambition amongst our supporters.

Yes we should be aiming for the sort of gates that Wigan and Leeds can achieve.

We wouldn't ever get 20,000 on a regular basis, but there will be occasions during the season when 14,000 is nowhere near enough.

I would be very surprised if AP would be content with a 14,000 capacity stadium.

How many gates have we had over 16K, I think that would do us personally.

Is there any truth in this rumour at all?

No, but it is nice to contemplate.

its nothing to do with a lack of ambition, its seeing things for how they really are. even if we do turn things around and this ground was to be built, I don't see us getting anywhere near 20k.

as I said above, 15k, with space to expand to about 18k would be enough...

Agree, would love it, but can't see were funding would come from.

Thirteen since 2006. Nine derbies, the Bradford play off semi in 2006, the Wigan play off in 2007, Leeds in 2010 and Warrington in 2011.

Anyway there is nothing to suggest this is anything more than another silly rumour.

Unbelievable stats for the play off games, wonder why play offs really struggle to get decent crowds?

The Wigan play off (16,291) and especially the Bradford one (16,087) are exactly why talk of a 14k stadium are unambitious. They are the sort of occasions and attendances we should be aiming for.

The Leeds and Warrington games were the last matches of the regular seasons - again these can be vital games and we have proved we can pull in big crowds.

Andy Wilson tweeted just last weekend, Hull should be competing with Leeds on and off the field (whilst recognising our superb following at Magic).

Zzzzzzz keep up

15k would be ample for the time being. It's going to take a while to build back up to a 14k average, so plenty of time to expand after that.

I would LOVE to see a terraced touch line stand again. A return to the Threepenny days. A ground similar to Wire's would be fantastic. If they do it like Saints/Salford/Leigh then it wouldn't be (end terraces).

Not going to happen, but boy it would be great!

I also think Pearson Park would be better location wise for pre/post match (and the name!) but access would be a nightmare!
