Does Craven Park not hold 13,000 now that they’ve put that new temporary stand in? If so, you’d think we should’ve been given more than the 1,100 tickets we’ve been given, if the apparent ruling is 10% of the stadiums capacity.

It’ll no doubt sell out eventually, but there are still tickets available on their website, some even in the block next to our allocation, which makes it even more bizarre if our allocation is slightly under the alleged required number.

That being said, when a team barely takes a 400 fan following to either Hull ground, even when it’s on a Saturday, there’s something radically wrong when there’s such a clamour for tickets just because it’s a ‘big game’.

Regardless, I firmly believe that if you wanted a ticket badly enough, then you would’ve got one, if you were a Season Ticket holder of course. Perhaps though, the club could’ve added an extra layer of sales criteria first of all, to ensure the most loyal were guaranteed.

Currently only handfuls of tickets left in The Well below the West Stand and the temporary 1000 seater South Stand.

Capacity with the temp stand is about 11,250 I think. Has to be segregation in place, hence the 1,100 tickets for away fans = 10%

I’ve no issue with the 1,100 allocation personally, as I think it’s a bit of a farce how we take so little to a Hull away game generally, now there’s a load crept out of the woodwork and there’s a huge demand for tickets all of a sudden.

Was pretty sure the capacity of Craven Park was quite a bit above the 11,000 mark though, as everywhere that I’ve read states in excess of 12,000.

The capacity was 12,250 before the south stand got demolished.

The east stand is having a temporary 1k seated stand put at the end of it for the next 2 seasons before a permanent extension is added as so the east stand spans the length of the pitch.

This is will keep the capacity at around 11,250-11,500 - again, I’m unsure of the exact figure.

But yes, it ashame more don’t travel. The Yorkshire teams aren’t much better (bar FC and Leeds)
