ridiculous to allow members 2 tickets each

Completely agree we have two passes but don't need four tickets for the semi only the two ,can see a load of pass holders getting tickets for their mates who rarely go and passholders who commit to buying a pass every season missing out doesn't make sense ?

Sorted our tickets earlier. Hull have set aside 40 (I think) tickets for each West Hull junior team. The boys will be mascots, flag bearers etc on the day.
Will be a good 500 there in green and gold if all teams take their full allocation. Looking forward to it. Think it will be a classic.

You recently described Hull FC as the most boring team in Super League. Presumably by classic you mean as in a 50-0 drubbing by Leeds or some such.

2008 - Semi v Wakey, allocation was in our favour - still could have sold more (over 8k)

2016 - Semi V Wigan, Friday night game, we take just under 9k to the game

2017 - with a bit of success last season, a Saturday afternoon kick off.. I reckon we could shift about 12k in tickets for this. Given that Leeds have a bigger fan base than us and that the game was always going to be in West Yorks, they could shift a minimum of 10k.

The venue is inappropriate!

Has it been moved?

I agree Passholders should be given first chance to buy tickets but everyone's panicking but they will all get a ticket in the end, just the clubs done it the wrong way round.

Do you remember 2013 and one completely empty stand plus an empty upper tier?

Yes, I remember 2013, and I would estimate around 6000 hull fans there that day, during a time we had been very poor for a few seasons. I also remember 2005, when we took 10000 to the same stadium.

There seems to be an obsession some have with "it doesnt look good on TV". Quite frankly I doubt there are that many who tune in who are not familiar with RL anyway, so who exactly does it look bad to?

Denying potential thousands of fans who could realistically go the chance is far more damaging to the sport.

KC to Doncaster - 48 miles
Headingley to Doncaster - 39 miles

hardly "touching distance" for either set of supporters.

FFS,

KC to Keepmoat, what, about 50 minutes? It can take longer than that to get from Hessle to Hedon

You try being a football fan - they don't moan about travelling less than an hour to a game.

Here in the reason why RL in general struggles.
