Let's hope we can all get into the ground before the games start - chaos at the KCOM tonight, apparently.

That's good news. Does anyone know how many was sold last year?

Wasn't it about 5.5K?

Went on Saturday and the queue to get into gates 8-12 in East was ridiculous. Fortunately, I knew the pass I borrowed worked for the gates at the opposite end of the stand. So seemingly the problems that have been there since the new readers were installed have yet to be resolved!

I would guess around 1000 more than that

Could we get to 8.5k do you think?

Think we could do 9k+ still a few weeks of Xmas shopping to come and Junior passes in particular sell well before Xmas, then theres the last minute buyers before the season starts

Loads wait till end of discount period. I usually do mine when I'm off over Xmas. Between xmas and new year anD there's always loads in doing the same. Defo sounds on for 9k to me

Anyone know the record for season ticket sales? We had the big push for 10k when AP took over but I don't think we got near it.

I think the record average crowd for a season was over 14k about 10 years ago.

Was just going to ask the same thing. Pearson pushed for 10k for last year, and I know a few people who bought one who haven't had one for years on the back of the signings made. Hopefully the success of last year and more key recruitment will see others follow suit. 10k would be fantastic. Would see us get 12k+ every week with corporates, away fans and giveaways.

The season we averaged 14k was when we had 2 home derbies so wasn't really a reflection on our core support. We need to get back up to 12k+ on a regular basis

The thing about the derby as well is that that one game can add 700 or so to our average attendance so we have to make that up.

Yes, two home derbies in 2007 (23,002 and 23,004) helped us to an average of 14,606 although the average of the other games was 13,079. The lowest attendance that season was 12,094 against Huddersfield. It would be great to get back to those sort of attendances on a regular basis.

The clubs website states 6,000 have renewed but again as per last year we don't know the split of general membership/full membership split but one would expect that to be more full memberships as a % than last year as confidence in supporters has risen hugely.
9k as a total would be incredible but around 8,000 is a more likely figure.

Ah yer, fair point! Forgot there were two different types. Still, it's encouraging. Also I think it says a lot that we've not heard Pearson/Radford come out asking for us to sign up. Letting the product speak for itself.

Topped 7k now, and that's before any existing seat reservations are released. Excellent.

Incredible! At this rate of sales I dont think even 10k is out of the question, as you say passholders seats havent been released for general sale yet

With the two derbies gone, hopefully it'll put more emphasis on the big games again against Leeds, Saints, Wigan (and now Wire). We used to get 15-17k against them.

Not many seats left in some of the more popular areas of the ground!

Like I said before, the optimism this time feels as though it's built on something tangible, and not "jam tomorrow".
The Wembley win, and never say die attitude of the team, makes it feel as though we're building some firm foundations.

Fewer than (as Stannis Baratheon would say).

Mind you, we had 'Was you a Rovers fan?' on at least a couple of the HullKRTV Q&As with local players, a while back.

And was they?

I was unable to concentrate due to the sheer agony of it.

Sorry - 'owing to'.

Some nice activity by the club this week - players calling fans to thank them for their support and a good turnout for pass collection day. Last couple of years has really seen a step on in interaction.

Good news (less/fewer error notwithstanding).
