Looks like there will be a bumper crowd against FC with them pushing tickets out 2 for £5 to members looking for a massive crowd and areas already sold out! Cant wait for the Giants army to roll into town making some noise hopfully be a bumper away following too!

We can hope, would love to turn up to an away match and see a sea of claret and gold.

Thursday night in Hull though is not exactly a crowdpuller, be great for the players to see the fans are with them and backing them right from day 1 too...come on get some tickets bought and let's go and have a good time, it's been a long off season!

£23 for us pre purchase, goes up on the day too

Standard price these days £23 got 4 new fans travelling over, away ticket sales very strong by all accounts so far so should be a cracking atmosphere

so why cant giants fans get £5 tickets? surely should be open to all

Under super league rules that offer should be open to everyone.

Complain to the giants and they should clarify it

BUT

I think Hull can do it because they have a membership scheme and they are targeting it at members.

Someone could check on the hull board

correct its a perk for passholders, we have done it for the last 3 seasons now, non passholders aren't included

nothing in the rules say we have to offer it to away fans

Good to see a packed KC most areas already sold out upto us now to fill our section and make some noise cowbells and all by all accounts we will take a good following too

Let's say Mellor and Cudjoe are our only injuries what do people think we will line up like? No point even mentioning Symonds.

Matty English really deserves to keep his place for the Hull game - he's been excellent in pre season. But the reality is Paul Clough and Walne will get picked before him.

Think Taai at prop is a good move for us.

wont be many fans go over , will be there though cheering the lads on, had a good win on our last visit and hull may have one eye on their trip to oz

hope taai plays prop too, and ikahihifo plays.... may get some of the seniors who havent played a pre season game yet play up at workington this saturday

b
because you do not have any season pass holders at the kc

Its a members thing. If you have a Hull FC membership (season pass) you are entitled to the offer so that you can bring a friend. If you had a Hull FC friend who is a member then theres no reason they couldn't get you a ticket. In fact if anyone really wants to go but can't justify £23 then why not ask on the Hull forum?
Someone who hasn't already taken advantage of it may be kind enough to help you out. The more the merrier.

It's a "bring a friend for a fiver scheme" BUT you can only use it once on any pass! I have a mate who cant afford a pass and I'm forever asking people for him when the season starts!

thanks just asked the question, its basically the bring a buddy voucher scheme we run at the giants but with us its £15.

As said its for pass holders only and as we have nearly 9000 the club can make the price extra affordable.
The idea is to get people into the stadium for the first match especially as its on a Thursday which no one likes and always reduces support numbers.

It was your club who requested a Thursday fixture.

Only because they fly to Australia the following day so they can have 6 days before they play Wigan

Poor things

At least Hull FC have the ambition to go to Australia

Absolutely unbelievable that the Super League launch was in Huddersfield this week nothing said and a World class player like Jerry is not used to try and promote the club after a fantastic World Cup

It is a complete shambles and people are stealing a living down there

Agreed our marketing needs done work, especially how we still don't have an away kit 6 days before the new season!!

Jerry was heavily involved yesterday, had 20+ interviews. Have we had an official club launch this year like everyone else?

Our launch was "photographers only"

I read about a club who did that on loverugbyleague, not surprised it was us. Any idea as to the logic?

yep looks like the giants didnt have a media day this year

You do realise we only have 2 staff involved in marketing due to financial restraints? one of those is a lad fresh out of Uni, unless anyone is willing to make a significant donation or offer any services to the club then we will always struggle due to lack of money.

What do those higher up in the club do day to day Daz ? I notice at Huddersfield Town the commercial Director himself drives a lot of social media including daily updates on season ticket sales, progress at the club on commercial deals etc etc.
