How many actual 'new' fans have bought season tickets and how many general memberships, have the club said?
It'll be a great effort by supporters in what are tough financial times for many. |

Just a shame that we can't have a full East Stand with part of it designated the away section that is often all but empty. Good figures on sales, though. |

Adding £35 memberships and Kids BOGOF to your season pass (memberships) totals is one way of making the figures look good. Mrs B will know the answer. |

Welcome back. As a matter of interest is there any particular reason why you've started posting again? Coincidence I guess. |

Just spotted this Keith. It's weird how both Keiths are back in earnest after a trot out against our 6th formers. The answer is 150. |

Brilliant news as we approach a record!
www.hullfc.com/news/2017-01-13-m ... d-in-sight
AND before any well wishers or Mr Lard have a go that figure of sales being in excess of 8000 doesn't include general memberships or the Buy one get one Free offer to kids which as Mr B said only actually accrued 154 take ups anyway. That figure is in fact just one that reflects the actual amount of tickets that have been sold which I think is pretty amazing effort from both our marketing team and indeed the fans.b |

Great news, should mean we are on for a minimum of 11k crowds, if not 12/13k for the bigger games. Its a bit of a pity that we start at home against Catalan on TV on a Thursday night, a tough sell for the marketing team regardless of how we play against Wakefield in round 1.
also great to see is the 65% increase in Junior memberships, as of course they are the future of the club. |

I know, I'm sure they could have come up with something more innovative, like say a 25% discount to reward "loyal fans", that would have increased sales I'd have thought. |

As of 5200 pass sales, 78% had paid the full price.
Criticising each other's pass sales and methods is ridiculas. Both sets of fans have backed their Clubs superbly looking at the figures.
Hulls buy one get one free offer for kids should be commended. The more kids following our sport the better. |

Interesting that despite extensive publicity and marketing the take up for this bit has been very poor! |

Tbh, you don't see that many children at games.
I know this from a Magic weekend, so not necessarily reflective of passholders, but the picture accompanying this article has almost no children in the crowd.
ltjournalism.com/sport-rugby-lea ... c-weekend/
Apart from ball boys and kids' teams playing at half time, I've not seen many children at Rovers. Some that are there are scampering around the play area rather than watching the game.
Maybe it is less of a family sport than we like to think. By the time they're old enough to first really enjoy and appreciate the game, a lot will be want to be with their mates rather than their mum or dad, I guess. And I suspect a lot of young families are time- as well as cash-poor nowadays. |

Disagree on that one, we have several young kids sat around us at the KC and it's definitely been on the increase over the last few years.
Hull are maybe a bit different to some clubs in that we had a big boost in crowds when moving to the KC and then a further boost after we won the cup in 2005. Some of those who got on board then as teenagers are now bringing kids of their own along to games. Other clubs have had a more steady growth in crowds or have stayed the same as they haven't had a new ground or trophy to make a big shift in crowds. |

Our dedicated family areas (two adults two children) have sold really well with a full block and a half filled.

I'm normally in agreement with most that Mild Rover puts forward but on this occasion I think he is miles off track.

Have to say the same, there are quite a few families round us. As you say, cup success can provide some impetus; there were a lot of children at Wembley and I reckon in the 25k at the civic reception thing on bank holiday Monday, even if only a small proportion end up regulars it's a huge opportunity to convert for life off the back of that major trophy success. |

Plenty of young fans at Hull, I have a membership for my 4 year old, but will only take him to a couple of games as it's too late on a night game for him to be out.
All Rovers young fans are made to go as punishment.

TBH I'm well aware of that, and its very good that such a large % have opted to pay full price. As you say, both sets fans have backed their respective clubs. Was more a dig at Keith's post than the fans/club generally. |

Maybe I haven't taken into account how many children you'd expect to see - people are only children for a small part of their lives.
And it's not something I've paid that much attention to, so I'm happy to concede the point.
It does seem a bit odd then that Hull's (commendable, I agree) bogof offer hasn't had more uptake. Any ideas on total number of junior passes? |

Some families may not want to sit in designated blocks for kids. Plenty of kids around us in the east and also the the south stand, you only have to look when toys r us' mascot is handing out free toys |
