Yes sorry, that is correct. It turned out to be Agar's last game in charge of Hull at the KC, being the week before the 10-42 play-off defeat at Leeds.

Warrington laid on free coaches that night as they are this week however their supporters were far mpre confident that night.

wire don't appear to be bringing many and for those who call Hull fans fickle, the wire fans are practically slitting their wrists and writing the season off despite being top of the league and only minutes away from clinching the LLS last week and still in the driving seat this week.

Any more news on the latest ticket sales for Friday night?

Also, have Rovers sold out yet for the biggest game in sporting history on Saturday?

19,000 sold now according to the Hull FC faithful Facebook page

No official updates from the club on numbers today.

I should have added I don't know how true them numbers are but here's hoping

the ticket website shows just over 700 tickets left in west upper but they have sold fast today. north holds 4000 i believe so thats 4700 seats empty at present, plus any warrington dont sell plus the 10 per cent for having unreserved seats. should add up to around 18000 sold plus whatever we sell in the next 2 days

I'll be watching it in my lounge room on time slip while I eat a full English breakfast.

We'll see, I'd rather have confirmation from the club than the "Hull FC faithful Facebook page". I'd be surprised if the club has sold over 4000 upper tier tickets in one day, that's a faster rate than Wembley tickets!

Only £15 adult / £10 under 16s and Oap in upper West

Hull FC's twitter feed just say's tickets are limited. I think we will surpass the highest non derby attendance. Should make for a great atmosphere.

The empty seat counter on the website never seems that reliable. Last update from the club is 16k sold. Think 17k may be more realistic now, which is still a fantastic effort.

Club website saying this morning that over 16,000 tickets have been sold, with all home lower tier seats sold out. Only west stand upper tier available.

Not sure if any Warrington ticket sales are included in the above figure and not sure if the North Stand is open or whether Warrington fans are in the NE corner of the ground?

I hope it does include the north stand in the lower tier sold out, absolutely ridiculious, if weve a empty stand

I haven't seen anyone say they've bought tickets for the North.

It sounded like the West Upper was opened up once the East (2/3rds of), South & West Lower was sold out. I'd hope that Warrington are given the North stand & behind the sticks, rather than shoehorning them into the North-East corner and leaving a full stand empty, as that'd be ridiculous as you say.

How do you get to see how many left when I go on it just gives you the option to buy. Doesn't show you anything

... when you've selected a block, it appears on the right of the stadium plan.

Ok Cheers

i'm wondering now whether the blocks on the website are actually the whole of the upper tier or just a couple of the centre blocks - in which case there will be quite a few left to sell. still should be somewhere between 16 and 17k though

... they're about 1k per block, so 1.5k sold so far in upper west. 2 more blocks untouched yet.

sadly had time to work this out.

west upper is 5000 + seats. offered 2 unreserved blocks of 928 and sold about 1500 upto now according to online ticket website

so home fans = South 4000, West 6000, East 4800 (away blocks E1 to E3 = 1200) , West upper 1500 = 16300 hull

no sign of north stand open for wire so guess less than 1200 coming and they will be in east stand away section. disappointing from wire fans as free buses laid on and not really a gimme for hull. they could walk away with shield and home semi but reading their forum they are suicidal after last weeks capitulation to pies.

COYH this could be a really special season with 3 more big efforts

You do realise the realise coaches are leaving at 4 and most people finish at 5? and you lot of all people know what its like trying to tackle the M62 on a Friday night and the best of times, especially westbound. Add the fact that there's 20 odd miles of 50mph speed limit on the M60 and M62 as well as the speed cameras on the Brighouse/Leeds stretch and it just isn't worth it. Nothing to do with Fans not wanting to go. If it was on a Saturday afternoon or night we'd have travelled in the thousands like we usually do.

yep appreciate not easy getting over M62 on Friday. not a big fan of thursday/friday games but hull managed to get 2000 over there for a bog standard SL game and you may miss your team winning the Shield. maybe we are just more desperate for some success and wire have had too much

I do it every home game from Wythenshawe.

Not Thursdays though. Thursday games are stupid.

It's worse going the other way yet we do it in numbers most other weeks for bog standard league games
If I was a wire and my team won and I was sat at home cos I didn't go I'd be dead set gutted
