Have we heard what attendance we can expect on Friday night - will be a disappointment if we don't sell out!!!!

Doubt it'll be a sell out. 11k is my guess

be ready to be disapointed. i reckon around 7000 from Hull and maybe 3,500 from Wigan

yea around 12,000

No chance of a sell out.

Lets hope the extra support that we will bring will help the team, and give them an extra lift and get us over the line.

Wont be as many as the 14,716 there for our last semi.
Yeamo and Washy both started, the only two remainers.

In 2008 I queued all night as radio said they was expecting a lot of people to do it. There was about 8 in total. This time I didn't bother as I knew it wouldn't sell out, I only got them Monday. So I'm hoping a few others have a similar idea.

I like keepmoat its a tidy tight little stadium and one we are use to and had success on, think it will be a tough first 20 as all semi finals are but expect us to overpower Wigan in the last 20 of each half our interchange bench is the difference, when your changing Ellis and bringing Frank on Taylor for Bowden Washy for mini and Manu Green for Watts its some power and its relenting, especially in the second half when Ellis comes back with Taylor like fresh starters that's what creates the space for strike players like Mini, Shaul, Talona, and Michaels 24 10 to hull fc syneeeeeeeddddd

I will say around 11,000. I think we have said we have sold 7,000 or so and there is a lot of talk of Wigan not taking many so yeah.

Was a rumour going around last Friday that we (Wigan) had only sold 800 - 1000 . Pretty poor if correct . A mail shot was sent out to Wigan fans to boost numbers .

See you Friday night ,

Friday night game hasnt helped with the travel for Wigan, the M62 is bad on a friday night, but its very poor how badly Challenge Cup semi finals are attended these days, this game should be a good 20k+ with the fanbases Hull and Wigan have. Instead the games seem to get smaller every year in smaller grounds.

If the rumour of 800-1000 is accurate then that is truly embarrassing. I remember Hull taking 2500 to Knowsley Road a few years back (the game with the fog) - on a Friday night and that was a league game

Oh bloody hell, pointless going. Can't believe that wasn't called off. We won tho

One of the best atmospheres i have been in at an away game!

"What the f*** is going on"
"We can't see a f***ing thing!"

I remember my mate saying that he was at the scoreboard end and he heard a huge roar from the Hull fans, and then Tom Briscoe emerged out of the fog scoring a full length of the field try!

i remember the fog just hung over knowlsey road and st helens that night, clear all the way over the m62 until the turnoff onto st helens way

Sfunny when venue announced lots on herder wanted a bigger venue, believing Keepmoat would not be big enough.

The fog game at Knowsley Rd was a Saturday tea time game.

That said, in 2006 we took a right mob with us there in the 27-26 Cooke drop goal game and that was a Thursday night game.

It wasn't, it was a Friday night game, first game of the season on SKY

WE CANT SEE A F***ING THING

isn't that the game lauaki had a stormer and place pryce on his arris, we thought boy have we got a gudun here, how wrong lol

Certainly was, didn't Briscoe score his try with only one boot on? Great atmosphere that night, match was delayed if memory serves. Remember taunting the Saints fans with "There's only one Shaun Long...."

No, it really was on a Saturday.

First game of the season on Sky is always the defending champions.

The game sticks out in my memory as I had been to the 1pm kick off Liverpool / Everton derby earlier that day, then I went to Knowsley Rd to see Long, O'Meley and Fitzgibbon make their debuts.

Going west to east is not that bad on a friday done it loads of times through work. PLus the kids are off school so the roads are better. The fact is that to Wigan and their fans, a semi is not really that big a deal as they are used to them. Clearly work, family, sky, money all mitigating factors also
