Interesting to see that Hull FC will be offering incentives this season to attract more away supporters, starting with £19 tickets and discounted coach travel for Bradford supporters next weekend. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC-confirm-plans-discount-offers-attract/story-20725662-detail/story.html

Very magnanimous of him. You can see why Hull fans think he is a genius businessman.

Now, now, don't be cynical. The policy of more expensive North Stand tickets at the KC compared to the South Stand was wrong and criticised by most Hull supporters.

Hopefully there'll be some offers on for the Leeds Rhinos game at the KC. £19 adult tickets would be a quid cheaper than standing on the Western Terrace at Headingley or £11 cheaper than advance tickets for the centre of the Carnegie Stand.

charging £22 to stand at away grounds is daylight robbery!

£19 to sit with a great view is a bargain!

if there is no change to the away following this season, i would expect Pearson to revert back to the original prices

some poor crowds this weekend.
just over 7,000 at hull kr with a decent cas following, what happened to the 10,000 they were going to get now they have the shiny new stand?
6,300 at catalans-leeds? i know the french fans don't tend to flock in the early games, but this does seem very low given it was against a top side who usually take a decent number over.
not digs, just curious as to the seemingly low crowds at these games?

Do the French play often on Fridays? Maybe a trial?

did you see the weather? no doubt it would have put many locals off going, friday fixture too, they must be like many giants fans who use the excuse that they can only go on saturdays/sundays, also there would be a higher level of leeds fans who wouldn't have travelled with the game early in the season

For some reason I tend not believe any crowd figure that ends in two zero's.

If you look at union Attendances most end in perfect numbers.
