My cars off the road, but I'm coming 20 miles on the bus tomorrow to make sure I get my extra tickets. Can't wait for the season to start. COYH!!!

You can book them through the ticket office for a small booking fee

Booking Fee is £2.60 - I ordered my additional tickets yesterday and received this a.m. - very efficient service.
The Club are looking to top last seasons' opening attendance against Salford 12265 and the attendances in the three games against Catalan in 2016, 11374 (League) 9639 (Cup Quarter Final) and 10494 (Super 8s).
I am confident we can top all 4 attendances COYH

Stop talking garbage Dicky

Regardless of attendance, get their in good time. Hundreds queuing outside tonight for City's game missed the start reportedly due to turnstile issues, as there were when they played Newcastle and Arsenal.

didnt help when some fans thought it was an 8pm kick off too! most important game this season so far and home fans dont even know what time kick off was

.... bad accident on the A63 as well.

While the turnstyles arent perfect (still dont see what the SMC have gained over manned turnstyles as they still have just as many stewards stood about sorting out problems, and have paid to replace the scanners twice) and there was an accident on the A63...fans really have got to start turning up earlier, theres thousands who still think you can stroll up 5mins before kickoff and get straight in.

It's a three way responsibility, the fans to get there early enough, the SMC to improve DRAMATICALLY the catering and the club(s) to put something on to entertain, especially in a freezing stadium on a freezing night!

Very promising with another week of the members' double offer to go.

If only we had the full east stand to sell tickets for


The Allams must be the only owners in the world who don't want fans in their ground

We (FC) should be pressuring the council, why is it (so far) no City of Culture event has happened at the KC and surrounds, why are the Allams ruining the KC....

Maybe Councillor Webster can help. He was giving it the "over my dead body" chat over Airco on here but then disappeared.

To what level? My perception of the catering at the KCOM is that it's not much different to other stadia - hot drinks, soft drinks, alcohol, pies, snacks. What are the DRAMATIC gaps to, say, Saints or Warrington? Am I missing something?

Indeed the catering very much matches the standards found in stadiums throughout Britain and indeed ones I've visited overseas. Overpriced and something to avoid.

Wish we could get more like the USA and Canada, our stadium catering makes motorway services look gourmet!

Just have food and some drinks/beers before you arrive at the KC. There's no obligation to buy food or drink whilst at the game or hand over any of your hard-earned to Allam.

The turnstile situation is a joke. After their install it was taking up to 20minutes+ queuing last season. The major flaw in their design is that they're outside on the wall, instead of next to the turnstile itself, so per person it takes miles longer than it did. Multiply that up by hundreds/thousands of people and its no wonder it takes ages to get people in.

I want a fair bit of Premier League football, 50-60k attendances and I'm never waiting longer in a queue to get in than 2/3 minutes.

Fans shouldn't have to 'get there early', they should be able to arrive at whatever time they want with an expectation of a small wait. This issue is firmly at the SMC/Allam's door and their crap scanning system, not the fans

But that's essentially the same as other SL offers? I'll check out the offering at Salford and rate the gaps to the KCOM offer later.

10,000 tickets sold with over three weeks still to go and obviously minimal away support. Decent start that.

fans got until 5th feb to take advantage of the 2 tickets for £5

hopefully shift a few more before then

Really good given that its Thursday night on TV with no away support.

be great if we can beat the 12K we got for Round1 against Salford last year.

To think you can go to a super league game for £2.50 in 2017 is unbelievable. Can't accuse the club of not trying to attract new fans to the game. Only thing is a lot of people I talk to don't know about the offer so it's down to the pass holders them selves to offer these non rl fans the chance to experience our game. Could anyone work out what the attendance could be if say 80/90% of the pass holders took the 2 for £5 offer. Most people would probably feel cheeky asking some one who has a pass for tkts but I bet a lot of people would snap their hands off if offered the deal

[list=[/list

Let's say 8000 members. If 80% of them, which is 6400, all bought 2 extra tickets you'd get 8000 + (6400 x 2) = 20800 fans.

I know 80% is very optimistic but when you look at the price of premier league football a live sporting event for that price is something most sports fans would struggle to ignore. Obviously a Thursday night is hard for parents with really young children but 15000 should be a achievable target. There's currently a lot of cheesed off city fans who aren't attending any games who would maybe tempted to have a look even out of curiosity. What else would £2,50 buy you nowadays. Maybe now is the time to try and turn a few of them to a proper game

Especially as it is half term week and the youngsters wont have to be up early for School on the following day. We could top 14K!!! COYH
