Quote="His Bobness"I know that Hull have a lot of loyal fans and if you add the kids for £1 then there's no reason you cannot get a decent total of season ticket sales. Obviously giving away a season pass for £1 might secure future fans so I'm not knocking it but in terms of gate receipts it puts you miles behind Rovers.
Rovers are now very close to 10,000 season ticket sales, the new East Stand Seating area which adds 1,000 to capacity is 85% full with passholders. The problem for Rovers is that even the increased capacity is unlikely to satisfy demand. Frankly it's a problem the club didn't expect to have, the club have outgrown the stadium.
Rovers will be turning away supporters in 2025 which is good and bad in equal measure.
The young generation of East Hull have taken to Rovers and it's incredible to see the amount of young faces at Sewell Group Craven Park. It's a problem for Rovers local born group of entrepreneurs to tackle but with such a wealth of business talent who would put it beyond them?
In summary there is no doubt that Hull Fc will sell a lot of season passes but not as many as they need to. Rovers will sell more but not as many as they could do.'"

Obviously the Club have it totally wrong when they say, ".....with club chairman Andrew Thirkill covering the cost of all of the junior tickets purchased for the Wigan game as a thank you for the incredible support of our members over the off-season, with the club now having reached the 7,500 membership mark!"
[quote="UllFC":jjonmz9e]Club just confirmed 7.5k passes sold, only the club will know exactly how much the ownership announcement boosted sales but it seems to have kept sales coming in when usually they decline after the price discount ends.
Members double 2 tickets for £10 is back for the Wigan game along with Junior pass holders being able to get another Junior ticket for free.
Anyone who attends has to remember we are in transition, and playing the 4 time trophy winners though. No whinging if it isn't a storming start please [/quote:jjonmz9e]
we were god awful last season and beat them so I'm expecting a win
[quote="UllFC":psobawcm]Full ticket prices may get some stick, it's now £34 in East Reserved though I imagine prices were worked out before the takeover (Pass prices are based on getting so many free games)
For reference City are charging £32 for the same seat.[/quote:psobawcm]
That's ridiculous. They need to do something about that

Yes, we've won the last three at home to Wigan. The best run since 1985 which is a very long time.

It's funny isn't it how that year keeps popping up, it's always been mentioned around these parts, for various numerous reasons!!
If we make it four wins on the bounce against Wigan next month I still won't be as stunned as last year's victory, talk about an unexpected win. I'm still not sure who was the more perplexed at the result, them or us!
