I don't see 12k, only 9k home fans for home cup game with Cas, doubt that many with travel to the semi, particularly in main holiday season and cost of travel on top.
8k tops, I'd would have had it at Hudds though, just for better transport, pubs and to guarantee everyone gets in, think we could have got a 18k crowd at Hudds

Do you remember 2013 and one completely empty stand plus an empty upper tier?

It was about 8000 as we sold all ours and then got done if Wigans.

| I think the RFL should consider scapping the neutral venue for semi finals of challenge cup and just give the teams out of the bag 1st and 3rd the home draws?,I know it's traditional but the semis of the grand final playoffs are at the the teams home grounds and with fewer cup games for the teams in the top 8 to have to play to reach a semi final I think it's passed it purpose!
Or I thought go completely the other way and have a double header at say Coventry liverpool or Newcastle or maybe scrap the magic weekend and have all the cup quarter finals (four games) over a weekend at the same venue ,trouble being finding a venue to accommodate so near to start of football season?

Completely agree we have two passes but don't need four tickets for the semi only the two ,can see a load of pass holders getting tickets for their mates who rarely go and passholders who commit to buying a pass every season missing out doesn't make sense ?

You recently described Hull FC as the most boring team in Super League. Presumably by classic you mean as in a 50-0 drubbing by Leeds or some such.

| I agree Passholders should be given first chance to buy tickets but everyone's panicking but they will all get a ticket in the end, just the clubs done it the wrong way round.

Yes, I remember 2013, and I would estimate around 6000 hull fans there that day, during a time we had been very poor for a few seasons. I also remember 2005, when we took 10000 to the same stadium.
There seems to be an obsession some have with "it doesnt look good on TV". Quite frankly I doubt there are that many who tune in who are not familiar with RL anyway, so who exactly does it look bad to?
Denying potential thousands of fans who could realistically go the chance is far more damaging to the sport.

FFS,
KC to Keepmoat, what, about 50 minutes? It can take longer than that to get from Hessle to Hedon
You try being a football fan - they don't moan about travelling less than an hour to a game.
Here in the reason why RL in general struggles.

You misunderstand me, I was pointing out that it's as "far" for Leeds and FC supporters, and not that far at all

Fair play,
That said, 45 mins drive on a Saturday afternoon - hardly going to need the picnic hamper to break the journey up.

Hull FC have not set anything aside stop stirring it up. Its not part of Hull FC's current North end allocation, that is intact until Saturday I've seen it being opened this morning and none have been put on sale or gone out from that yet.
What you probably refer to is an allocation of tickets direct from the RL that they dish out to junior rugby in Leeds and Hull as they see fit!
