there's a danger we could pull in less than 10k for a league fixture for the first time since god knows when. can't see a bigger crowd than the one against widnes after that dross, and there will be no boost from away supporters. when was the last sub 10k crowd?

You haven't had one in the league at the kc have you

Saving my £50+ by not going.

Apparently crowd against Widnes included all pass holders wether they attended or not....so a sub 10k already achieved.

By the time we play Salford in the cup, special (never to be offered again!) prices may well boost it to around 8k.

We did in the first few seasons.

So you must know all the passholders who didn't attend?

Lose tonight and I can see the attendance been similar to the play off game against cats last season.

Cant remember a sub 10k crowd for a league game at the KC

This old chestnut again



As an ex turnstile operator of 16 years I can tell you that only people who physically came through the turnstiles are counted. They are not allowed to announce otherwise due to health and safety. I know this as we used to pass our meter readings to the announcer at every game and it always tallied with what we had.

Sure we had a couple of well below 10K crowds just before the cup in 2005.

I know supporters who attended and can judge attendances against alleged official attendance figures.

In the Boulevard years was the best ever fantasy figures ever...albeit going the other way (downwards).

You're right 8109 against London and 9935 against Wigan

Looking at the slstats page on here, by my reckoning tonight would be 100 league games without a sub 10000 crowd, although I may have miscalculated. Our last was in 2006.

Ah - so you spend the whole match counting.

Passing on figures and 'adding' them together could prove very difficult at times.

Need to perceive the written word.

I wasn't there. the last game I attended was at Saints.

We could easily judge figures given out in the Boulevard years, some were ridiculously low.

According to Hulls website we had 2 games in 2006 less than 10 k ,London and Wakey and none since.

I do love a good conspiracy about announced attendance figures.

See my post above. I didn't keep a job for 16 years for "fiddling attendances". Believe what you want but I know for an absolute fact you are wrong.

Fair comment, I misread your post - so you're even dafter than I thought.

10001 tonight

No, not difficult at all. We let in x amount of people. We had x amount of money which tallied with the x amount of people coming through the turnstiles. We passed on the attendance figure (which tallied perfectly monetry wise) to the announcer who would announce it 5 mins before the end as happens now and I can say without certainty it always tallied. If you are saying that we the turnstile operators and cashiers were fiddling you are gravely mistaken and I resent the fact you are calling me (and others on here who also worked cashiering) liars.

Ah the good old 'ABUSE' come back.

So many illeterits on here.....lol

PS. Waits for the spelling policeman to come on and embarrass themselves by not understanding 'tongue in cheek'

Oh great - something else to wring our hands about.

If your right how come every att figure at Wembley includes the club Wembley ticket holders which is the whole middle tier of the stadium. eg CC final attendances usually around 75,000 When its obvious the ground is only half full
