OK here is my rational behind the poor sales.

In 2008 we were 2nd bottom and sold out the south stand the week after Wembley when most realistic Hull fans expected a slump following a tough week physically and mentally at Wembley. We still sold out. The game was not televised.

This year our form is poor, the game is on a Saturday evening in holiday season. Many will choose BBQ, Beer and best seat in the house...sky sports.

As a club we are the only fans to pay 17 pound to stand in a disgrace of a stand. 17 QUID!!!!!

Poor form does have an effect on attendances for sure but there is far more to this then Hull FCs current form.

Finally from a personal point of view I am going tomorrow but not in the south stand and this is my first super league derby at craven park having previously watched derbies from all parts of the ground. I just refuse to watch a game from the south stand again. Simples

So no I do not think the south stand would have sold out if we were 2nd place.

Was that so hard to say?
And I dont belive you as you are or crybaby's

I don't understand why would Rovers say something is a certainty in 4 separate website articles when it clearly wasn't? If they'd spoken to the KC ticket office at any point since our allocation went on sale it would have been more than obvious that we weren't going to shift them all.


Are KC ticket office talking to Rovers ?

Presume they are following the lead of the club and refusing to talk to anyone

And 2 games vs Harlequins

The bit I dont get about this "we're not going cos it's a crap view" business is that tomorrow will be the 4th SL derby at Craven Park.

Surely the time for the dummy spit should have been after the 1st SL derby when they found out what the view was like???......oh hang on...yes I forgot...they won that one didn't they

If it was fickle Hull fans making excuses about the Ground then explain why 2000+ went to Cas?

Was it because the price was fair and noit increased just for them?

Was it because they could see the pitch?

Or was it because they are not frightened of losing to Cas like they are Rovers?

Giver your heads a bang, KR are a disgrace charging £17 for that area, it aint even a stand. It should be free to anyone daft enough to stand there.

When I think of all the truly terrible grounds I've endured to support HKR over the years it makes me pity HFC. Fancy not having enough true loyal fan that are willing to get behind you in your greatest hour of need that you can't even sell 1500 tickets. Truly sad!
