Saints in the cup : Sun Jun 04, 2023 8:23 pm  

Come on lets get those MKM stands packed again! tickets are discounted for passholders and we havent been at home for weeks.

While Saints have improved their discipline has been questionable at times this season and the fans on their backs might just make a difference.

That Catalan quarter final in 2016 in the sun was when I really started to beleive that year, and this could be something similar. Grab your mates, your family, your next door neighbour and lets get the place rocking!

Yes, got my tickets.

Live on the BBC, will be a decent TV figure based on the last round so will look good to have a decent attendance.

I leave Melbourne on Weds and will be at this bloody game !!! first in 9 years so will be there with bells on !

Looking to arrange a RL Fans Hull FC get together before the match

I had a PM from some mental geezer called
KeefdaRed - saying he worshipped me from afar and could he buy me a pickled egg and saveloy from the Sausage Shop on Holdness Road
Then some mention of sharing a patty butty later on ?

I've got my tickets, courtesy of the son in law to be, even though its on tele I'd expect a good turnout, but probably not as many away fans as usual who may decide to save a few pounds and watch via the BBC.

Yes its strange that the distance from Wigan and St Helens to Hull is much greater than Hull to those places. Our fans will travel wherever, witness the vast numbers at Newcastle yesterday. Its probably the reason RFL like us to be the last match so they have a sizeable crowd right at the end.

Our away support isn't as good as it used to be

These days we just about scrape 300/400 to wigan or saints on a Friday night

Remember 2004 first game of season at saints we took over 2k, in the fog again was big numbers

Since 2004 I dare say its a period in which a lot of things have changed for many people, then there's the point of people having less disposable income currently.
Still very good numbers of fans travel from both Hull clubs and significantly higher when compared across other SL teams travelling to Hull.

I've got my tickets and looking forward to the game regardless. For me it feels a bit like the CC semi against them in 2005, hopefully with the same end result.

This and traffic has got worse also, just getting out of Hull on a Friday after 2pm is a challenge in itself! This season has also been the worst I can remember for lack of weekend away games.

M62 is a shambles currently, any more than 500 from one side of the Pennines to the other is a solid effort from any side at the moment on a Thursday/Friday IMO. Not expecting us to take many to Leigh, especially been our 5th away game in a row.

Think we should be aiming at 10K+ crowd for Saints in the cup. They will bring a few over, cheaper tickets with no Football on a Saturday afternoon, it should be doable.
