16k is a much better effort that the Leeds vs Bradford derby which only attracted 5,479

Wonder what Cookey thought,bet he wished he had stayed when he saw that crowd for his ex team mate's benefit match.

Is that all they got ? What a disgrace !!!!

BUT, would we have had that attendance had we have played anyother super league team?

I know its not nice to say but i dont think we would have.

Ricahrd made the correct choice in chosing the dobbins to be the oppostion for his testomonial match.

We wouldn't have got 16k if Rovers were'nt involved but it would still have been around 10k imo. Kingy got about that against Hudds didn't he?

He got less, [urlhttp://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=277[/url

7,455 for that game. I think had it been Huddersfield today we'd have been looking at a good 10,000 with Long, Fitz and O'Meley debuting.

rule said today record season pass sales so guess something will be announced.

I thought that. Horne will probably have cleared at least £150k from today, plus all his other events, will be looking at £200k + tax free. judas would have ended up with more cash if he'd stayed. Hope he ends up rotting at celtic

100k proffit from today not bad eh, he will be taxed hell of a lot tho cos there not tax free anymore.

Thats before Howesys cut

thats after his cut

so 80-85k after tax, nice tidy sum

a great attendance for a friendly, but i susspect that a lot of people went to watch the new signings, wonder what the attendance would of been with a few low - key signings rather than the likes of long and fitzy.

The Gods have smiled on Richard... and why not?

???? When the gate receipts would have been about £200,000.00 Appx 12000 adults @ £15 and 4000 kids @ £5 ???? how do you get that final figure?

Why will he get anything?

I think that was a good attendence considering the dobbins were only allocated 3k tickets great match great win bring on the new season i say!!!!

What would Hudgell do for gate receipts like that for his expensive hobby?

cos he dont work for the good of his heart

Great crowd, both sets of fans should be applauded.

going on the quote from wolfie, £100k, then minus the tax

dont forget there will be a fee for the use of the kc included too

Before someone else jumps in,what do i know.

who cares what others think, 80-120k after todays match, im sure there is a few envious players out there who wouldn't mind a testimonial game like today

Nice payout for Rich, sickeningly wendyballers get huge huge amounts on top of their already overinflated wages. Ryan Giggs got £1M from his testimonial game in 2001! Because of this the tax man now is more interested in benefit/testimonial payments. Even Martin Johnson was investigated and his money was in limbo for almost 4 years because of the taxation wrangling.
