Nice little jump over the weekend!

Hope there is another nice little jump after the rovers game also, Since more people will be attending that game than was at the testimonial.

If we get a good victory over Leeds in our first game it could well spur a few more to take the plunge and buy a pass before the 1st home game.
My brother never renewed because he just could not afford one this season, but he will still go to a fair few games. I am sure there are also plenty who are feeling the pinch financially who will do similar.

Is there a list of the challenge 10K winners anywhere? The first couple of draws got a bit of coverage but I didn't really see much after that. I'm assuming I would have heard if I'd won anything, like.

Biggest jump we've seen for a while, and no doubt due to the increased hype in preparation for the start of the season.

should see another jump next weekend with a big crowd for the Rovers friendly.

Me weird faced? Your pass will have your avatar picture as proof of identity. Good luck with that one.

Your avatar has a weird face. Good luck with what?

Last 3 have been won by a mrs mcrae, a mrs gentle and a mrs pearson (not really)

Hopefully will get over the 8500 mark

No updates for several days now (assume that is just a lack of website updating not that our loss on Sunday has ground sales to a halt!) but interesting to read in the HDM that Rovers sales are 20% down on last year, which will cost them £300K revenue.

in comparison our sales appear to be 10% down (the official 2012 figure was never published but assumed to be 9200-9300 ish) so even though we won't meet the 10K target, we haven't done all that badly.

Lets hope a win at Leeds encourages some late comers to get a pass!

any one know when passes can be collected for those who bought on the debit scheme (4 payments)

No surprise. Cash is tight for many families in Hull

I agree with you matey "food on the table or rugby "Rugby come second .A lot of Hull fans have stated they will pick games because money is tight.Even the friendly I gave at spare ticket to somebody that was short of money

8900

Having come close to reaching the 10,000 figure last year, the club remain cautiously optimistic their target can still be reached, however, Pearson is preparing himself to come up short.

Correct. So if we get 8500, that would be 4% down. I think this was about the same as the price increase, so total cash revenue would be the same year on year. Not what we were targeting, but not disastrous.

Indeed. The 10,000 target was very optimistic but missing it shouldn't cloud what is a respectable figure.

A 4% fall isn't too much of a worry as, say, 20% would be.

Or 4,000 vs a target of 7,000, for example.

Or 8,290 against a needed 14,500 for example.

Needed??

Keep dreaming, soft lad.

Oh dear.

What is this obession about our attendances you lot have got over us?.

However, with much more investment still needed, Pearson says the club must get back towards the peak of 2007 – when the club averaged more than 14,500 fans – to balance the books.

Unless you know otherwise.
